Chris, Yes, I use ImageShack. There are different embeddable codes provided on your "My Images" page. You do not use the one for "forums" for the software used by this site. You use the one for "sites", if you do not want to use a thumbnail image. The proper coding is already done by ImageShack when you copy the "sites" line to your clipboard. When you paste it into your message, do not paste it into the "Optional Image URL" box below your message area. That space is for a pure URL address w/o any html coding. Since the line you copied from ImageShack already has the coding in it, just paste in right into your regular message text wherever you want it to appear; before, after or even in the middle of your text. You can do the same thing with the thumbnail code (from the "sites" block at your "My Images" page) as I did in my response to Chuck below. That will automatically provide a thumbnail image in your post that viewers can click on to view the full sized image if they want. That is the better way to do it for the larger images that take a while to download. Make sure you make good use of "Preview Your Reply" before you finally post your message. If your picture doesn't show up in preview, it will not show up in your final post. If the picture doesn't show in preview, just back up, make changes and try again until you get it correct. That way you can avoid the red x in your post. I like ImageShack. It's a little bit difficult to use until you get the hang of it - but it's free and there is no quantity limit nor is there any bandwidth limit. It lacks the features of paid-for image hosting but does the basic job and seems quite reliable. Rod
