Your post was pretty clear....my reading skills are hampered by a severe sinus infection today

I went through the same problems trying to post pictures to the forum. Some of the members finally talked me through it. Here's what I do.

- Upload my pictures to photobucket.com
- After upload I copy the "direct link" displayed below the picture
- Back to BF and reply to the thread, hit the "insert image" icon directly above the text area (it looks like a yellow envelope with a mountain on it)
- Clicking on the icon will bring up a "Explorer user prompt"
- Paste the copied "direct link" from Photobucket into box
- This should allow you to post a picture to the forum

It took me awhile but I finally got the hang of it
