I don't know whether anybody else is like me - fed up with having to wind the old forum into action to find the imageshack link for posting photographs, but here it is again for future reference:

Unless anyone has a better method, of course. how do you get your big images, Herbie?

If image is already posted on web (like on your own site) you just use
[img*]http://image_location/file_name.jpg[/img*]

but without the *'s

if it's not your site you're linking to it's normally regarded as a bit unethical to do that as you're using their bandwidth without giving them obvious link back.... (but as bandwidth here is only about a dozen people viewing I'd not necessarily get too worried.....)

without *'s =

Image shack and similar services work by allowing you to host image for free, but if you copy and paste the link details they give you, the pic then also includes hyperlink back to them when you click it, so it directs more people back to view their adverts.

I use photobucket. its quite easy and doesnt create a link when you paste it. http://s107.photobucket.com/ My images are usually quite big, though it does shrink the files and can lose detail.
This is a photobucket image of mine
