I never cared for the big photo sites such as photobucket so I've used over the years image hosts such as tinypic, imageshack etc. Tinypic.com is my favorite at this time.

The main thing is to get your picture online somewhere and then link it to a forum with image tags. The standard image tag format is:

http://i39.tinypic.com/a11e34.jpg

Pay attention the the opening and closing brackets [ and ] as well as IMG and /IMG. The [ and ] tell there is a tag the IMG tells it's a start of an image and the /IMG tells the ending of the image.

Test it yourself with this forums logo: http://www.canreef.com/images/logo_small.gif

...add the brackets [ and ] as the above example...add the tag IMG also don't forget to close the tag with /. Then you get this:

On the photo host site you use there will be a series of web addresses copy the one titled direct link. Then in the post page one of the icons is insert image it will open a pop up looking for the HTML of your image paste the direct link there hit ok hit preview post to make sure it worked if your satisfied with your post hit submit post and your done

I've always found youtube a good resource for posting pics.
