You've got to get an account on either PhotoBucket, Flickr or some other online storage.  From there you can post the picture by click on the Insert Media icon above (the one that looks like a film strip).  Paste the web address that you'll get from the PhotoBucket account (for example).

When you post the message in the forum the picture will be visible.

Okay, I’ll admit that I was a rocket scientist (aerospace engineer, really), but its not that hard, really, I promise. (There are several ways to do this. Just follow the sound of my voice…)

Go to the Photobucket Album page and click on the thumbnail. This brings up a viewing window.

In another tab/window, fire-up the FSM forum composition panel you want to post into. Compose. When you’re ready to insert your photo…

Go back to the Photobucket tab. Highlight the SECOND entry (the Direct Link button). Do NOT do anything that disturbs the copy buffer.

Once again, go to the FSM post-in-progress. On the SECOND tier of the message control bar, the TWELFTH icon, the aqua-colored one that looks like a swatch of film (you remember film? But I digress…) It says ‘Insert Media CLICK IT.

Another panel opens! You’re almost there

Send (Ctrl-V) the URL you copied from Photobucket four steps back. The ‘Insert Mediapanel closes and your image is inserted, like this

THATS IT! The rest is just the fiddly bits & formatting.
