Right click on the picture, select properties, a dialog box with the url will appear. Copy the url, click on the image button (mountain with the sun icon) and paste the url.

What about posting a photo off of my hard drive? Must I upload it to online first or is there a way to post it directly here?
Test: [img]http://new.photos.yahoo.com/sueb1997/photo/294928804369281956/0[/img]
These instructions are very straightforward but it seems it only works for me sometimes, and I can't tell what makes it work sometimes and not others. Like the test above, not working at least as far as the preview is showing.
Help!
Thanks.

You can't post an image directly from your hard drive. Use imageshack.us or imagepile.net

When you want to put a picture in here, the url that you put between the <img> tags must end in jpg or some other graphic extension. In this case it doesn't work because what you did is you put the url of a web page that contains a picture, not the url of the picture itself. Even if you somehow find out the address of the pic and put it here, Yahoo Photos doesn't let you put their pictures on other sites... so it will never show. Sometimes it will show for you, because the pic is already in your browser's cache and is loading from there, but nobody else will see it.
Plus, if you post yahoo photos links everyone will know your yahoo id |

http://imagepile.net and http://tinypic.com both do not require registration and make it easy to post up as many pictures as you want. I prefer tinypic.com so the following instructions are for that site.
Steps for tinypic.com
1. Click on browse then select your picture and click open.
2. Click on "upload now".
3. Select the image link between the "img" tags
4. Paste that to your posts.

P.S. be kind and resize your pictures so they are no larger then they need to be. Large pictures take a long time to see for people with slow connections. |

I am using www.photobucket.com to upload my images for posting as an URL. But there is no way to resize them and so sometimes they distort the size of the screen if they are too large. Any suggestions for making the images smaller? Thanks. MrBill.

photobucket's resize function is not on the upload page...
eta: you can install the Image Resizer from Microsoft's XP PowerToys pack and it will allow you to resize the images before you upload them.
download link
it will place an option in the menu you get when you right click a file... it also works on multiple files so you can select and resize all your pics at once.

I haven't checked into photobucket, but here is how to do it with http://tinypic.com
It's just one easy step.

Thanks, lys3rg0, thanks, steam_cannon! I will give it a try because I know how annoying it is when large photos distort the margins and require scrolling across to read the text. Cheers. MrBill..
