how to post images or pictures?

[texmels]

I would like to know how to add an image or picture on a post or a pm message. I have searched around under "new users" and cpap wicki and have tried to do a search on the forum, but nothing is popping up. I guess I am not looking in the right place.

Can some kind soul please direct me to the right place to find this info, or please pm me the instructions.

Many thanks!!!

I use screen shots and Photobucket because I found it super easy but other use different methods.

This is my standard "how to post images of reports" speech.

Open the image to full size so it is easily read.
I use Vista snipping tool to create a screen shot and crop the image at the same time.
Prt/scr key will also take a screen shot if using XP. If laptop is used sometimes the Fn key has to be pushed at the same time as the prt/scr key
I think windows 7 Home Premium has the snipping tool, Basic may not.

Once the screen shot is created save it in jpg format.
Upload the image to a host site. I use Photobucket it is free, there are others.
Once the image is uploaded then copy the ENTIRE IMG address. Be sure to include the opening and closing IMG in brackets. Paste that copied address into a post here.
Use the preview button. If you can't see the image try again because if you can't see it we can't.

I suspect that the resolution of the image determines the size the image will display.
Am I right?
