if you mean putting YOUR photos up somewhere, it is usually a matter of finding a nice site where they are hosted free. Like http://www.flickr.com/..or a number of others. (Just using the Opera browser give me 300 MGS od space!)....Those sites have some sort of automated upload script where you just pick your PIC and say 'go'.


It is possible that your ISP also provides you some space (providers differ...mine gives me 10 MGS, but I have to use an FTP program to upload to it...not a big deal.

www.x10hosting.com/

Snapfish.com

www.webshots.com is free storage for a limited number of photos in a
limited number of categories .. altogether they will certainly hold
100 photos.



FolderShareTM allows you to create a private peer-to-peer
network that will help you to synchronize files across
multiple devices and access or share files with colleagues
and friends. You no longer need to send large files via
email, burn them to CDs/DVDs and mail them, or upload them to
a website. FolderShare allows you to share and sync important
information instantly with anyone you invite, making it the
perfect solution for personal or small business use.

Well as Bill says, you have to have somewhere to put them. The other part with a forum is that you need to provide a means of people getting to them.

In the case of Mudcat, you can provide a link in a thread. Some forums do allow an HTML IMG tag to load an image when the page opens of provide an alternative method to achieve the same thing but that option is not available here (it can slow page downloads down considerably for some users for one thing...)

For the sites that do allow ebmedded images, http://www.imageshack.us/ was recommended on another forum I use the other day as it makes a link for a thumbnail you can copy paste rather than have a big picture (which probably would make you unpopular) embedded in the page.

Because it is a technical question and not a BS post possibly. Only BS goes straight in here all others go upstairs, although as Joe explained to me, some like Obits eventually descend to the Stygian depths of BS again.
