Heres a quick walk though for you there are a couple of way's but this is one of the easier ways. For my image hosting I use Photo Bucket there free and have a reasonable limit and are very user friendly. They also have a even easier way of putting images into your post then I'm about to show you, given that anything you upload already has a box with URL or tags%20generated.%20Anyway%20the%20below%20images%20will%20show%20you%20how%20to%20hotlink%20a%20image%20so%20that%20it%20shows%20up%20even%20if%20you%20haven't%20uploaded%20it%20yourself%20and%20your%20just%20snaking%20it%20from%20somewhere%20else.%20You%20have%20to%20be%20careful%20of%20doing%20this%20sometimes%20some%20material%20is%20copyrighted%20to%20some%20degree%20and%20you%20can%20get%20yourself%20and%20others%20in%20trouble.%20

If you need any more help just chuck a post up here or PM me I'm always happy to make image tutorials for anything I know how to do.

Here is a http://photobucket.com/ tutorial I find its a quick easy upload website to use and unlike image shack and other providers its hardly ever down and you can link to it as much as you want.

 

First you will need to visit the website HERE and sign up simply look to the right of your screen you will see a button that looks like this http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa188/VisOne_Photo/Tutorials/Join.jpg click it and fill out your details. Remember as with all Internet websites only fill out what you MUST keep out your full name, address and other details they don't need them and identity fraud is a very real issue these days. Once you have signed up you most likely will need to login to your account another simple process just click the login button which is next to the join button.

 

Now that your signed in you should be looking at something like this.

Next you need to click the Browse... button this will bring up a explorer popup window you simply navigate to where ever your images are stored, Windows Default is My Pictures on the same hard driver as you windows is installed on. You will have something that looks like the picture below you select/highlight the 1 picture you want to upload and press open.

Finally it will show you a image that looks like this showing the name of the image and that you have selected it, finally you need to press the Upload button.

Now you have your image uploaded you will see a little thumbnail of it below with 4 types of link underneath it, if you want to post a image directly into the bigDforums just use the bottom button as I have shown in this final image.

All you need to do is click that link it will automatically Copy it for you, then its a simply Right Click with your mouse and select paste or pressing Ctrl + V together this will paste the image into the message box and you just need to press the Submit Reply button as you normally would if you were typing a message.

 

 

Once again if you need any help just ask I'm always glad to help anyone I can when ever I can.
