With Photoucket having disrupted the whole concept of sharing pictures onto forums I thought I'd try to find an alternative which works. The two images below are from my Flickr account and pasted as follows.
from Flickr
Open a Flickr account and upload your pictures. Select the picture you want to share and open it in your account (view full size) Click the select box under the picture, right click on the picture and 'copy image location.
On this forum in the 'topic box' (the one you type in) click the Img icon and paste the url of your pictue between the [Img] brackets.
the selected picture should now appear in your post when you preview or post it.
A mamoth task for some, but worth doing to preserve the wealth of technical info and other features on the forum.
