    I'll admit I'm not very tech savvy. But I assume even I should be able to post pics somehow. Do I really need to find the image URL?

    You need the image URL for pix located on the web. If you have a shot on your computer, you can insert it directly (copy/paste) or by attachment sorta depending on how you roll. Upload a file works fine for that, below the text box you are working in. You might want to experiment with a test thread here.

    if it's on your machine, you can use the Upload a File button, find it on your computer in the window that pops up.
    once it's uploaded, you can select full image and it will embed it.

    ya can add a pic if ya know the URL n the URL is linkable, some URLs are not linkable

    type in [ img ]pic URL[ /img] remove the spaces

    or click the pic icon in the toolbar above every post box

    or ya can go here Media | Survival Monkey Forums

    Click the Add Media button

    Select Create An Album from the drop down box

    fill in the boxes n click Create Album

    then click below to upload the pic or pics



    plus in some cases ya can drag n drop a pic into the forum from yer PC however that might not always work correctly

    The easiest way to post a photo on the web is to sign up with a third party photo sharing service and use their website to both store and publish your photos. (Use only the photos that you want published.) One of the largest photo publishing services is 'Imgur'. (Which might be a little too sophisticated for a beginner — Maybe!) Personally, I prefer to use 'PostImages.org'. Here's a list of the top photo hosting and publishing sites on the WWW.
