Photobucket is they way I have always done this.

First step would be to register with them.

1. Create an account at www.photobucket.com
2. Create a Folder and call it "My Van" or whatever you like.
3. Make the folder "Public"
4. Have your images ready to upload on your computer. (Best to have them already resized ready to go, 800 pixels wide is best.)
5. Click Upload

7. Once uploaded to Photobucket you can see small thumbnails of your images. Mouse over the thumbnail images and a code box will open. Click on "Direct" and the code will be copied to your computer Clipboard ready to paste.

If all good and you have finished you "Post Reply" by clicking the "Send" button as you normally would.

Important: NEVER move or rename your folder on Photobucket. If you do, you break the link to the image and people will NOT be able to see them anymore.

PS: On this forum it is also possible just to use the [IMG Code] from the Photobucket code box and paste it directly into the forum reply section "without" needing to click the "insert image code" icon.
