Your photos need to be uploaded to a photo hosting site, like Photobucket.com.
Go to the web site and copy the URL of the photo. You cannot use it if its on your home computer, as your home computer is not a server or connected to the internet 24x7.
After copying the URL, use the "Advanced Post Forum". If you are the Original Poster, you won't use this, only if responding. If you "edit" or original post, you will automatically go the Advanced features.
Once you are on the Advanced post window, there's a set of icons at the top of the text edit box. Click on the one that looks like a blue mountain with a yellow background. When the box opens, paste the URL of your photo in the dialogue box and select "Finished". Your URL with the correct HTML "Tags" will be added to your URL. You do not need to do anything else. Don't edit it, you may mess it up.
If the image is large, then before hitting "Finished", set the height to 480 and the width to 640. This will automatically resize your image to the forum standard. "They" don't want you posting a larger photo as it makes reading the text very difficult if the image runs off the browser window. So use this if your original files is like.... 5 MB big or something.
Finish typing and submit the post.
You can go back and "edit" once you made a post or a comment by simply using the "Edit" link above your own post. You can add photos in a pre-existing post this way, or make spelling or text changes. You have about 3 minutes to edit a post before a note will appear at the bottom (Post was edited by ....). No problem is you do though.
Good luck. And No comment on the truck. I'll let someone respond to that.
