Hotlink!

 

Upload your images to a free image hosting account.

Many forumites use photobucket.com.

 

Then, when you compose a post, use the IMG button in the vB Code section to add the link to your photo into the text.

jerrys right, but its not that simple untill youv'e done at least once, so i'll try to give alittle more detail:
1. start an account (its free) at www.photobucket.com
2. upload the pics you think your gonna use (one at a time)
3. when your going to add a pic to a thread leave the thread open, minimize the window if you want
4. open photobucket choose the pic you want
5. go to the bottom of the page and click on img. button
6. a window opens with different http tags
7. scroll down to the one that says "img for message boards"
8. RIGHT click on that to highlight it, RIGHT click again and choose "copy"
9. reopen the HC thread you minimized earlier
10. RIGHT click again choose paste, your tag will appear as a address finish what you wanted to put in the thread, when you hit the submit button your pic will be attached to yur post. looks confusing, but its not really once you do it have fun, welcome to HCEG:wave:
