When you post there are 2 ways to put a picture in.

Below this typing box is another box for uploading pictures from your puter. The "attach file" with the "browse" button. Just find it and double click it. For convenience it shouldn't be too wide or all the posts will become the same size wide and go off the screen. Depends on your resolution but 600 wide or so but don't use gigantic proportions unless needed. Same for picture memory size. Its just a screen people see so don't have to be megapixels.

The other way is to link a picture from the web with the IMG button above and paste in the links address

Turns intohttp://http://www.screamandfly.com/images/banners/wiring_banner.jpg
This Xed out since the link seems to change.
You can do that with a right mouse click on the pictue and choose properties, Copy the address and paste in the box after IMG button is hit.
This don't take any memory at all since its just a link to the picture itself.
The HTTP:// button does the same thing but is just a web link like the image button.
Here or name you want (http://forums.screamandfly.com)

The picture for your name or signature is done with the User CP button at the top. Putting in pictures as a signature is done with "[img]" address"[img]" without the quotes. Thats what pushing the IMG button does and can be seen by posting and doing a link like that.

The picture for your name or ICON is done with the icon choice on that user CP link. It tells you what size and all that. That is the only hard part is shrinking it down to size.
You can either do a web link or upload a picture from your puter.
