Can someone please help me out on putting my photo up. I have tried everything so no im reaching out for help . Please guide me in the directions where I can catch  on.

If not, you need to do that first.  Image Coast is a good site to use for that.  Avoid Photo Bucket as they are unfriendly to providers.

When the photo is up on that site, it will have a URL address.  Copy that address and paste it into the picture URL box you'll below whenever you begin a post.  That's all there is to it.

Since you are new to TER, I suggest you read the Newbie Manual that you'll find linked on this page.  It will really help you.

Welcome to TER.

First off, the photo has to be on a web site that allows photo sharing already.  As mrfisher said earlier, Imagecoast.com is a good one to use if you don't have one already.  You can sent up an account for free.  Also, the photo will show on the post the same size it is on the web site.  

1.  Go to the web site that the photo is on.  Find the photo on the site.  Put the cursor (arrow) on the that photo.

2.  Right click with the cursor on the photo.  (Right click means click the right button on the mouse, the one that is not normally used.  Normal mouse clicking is "left clicking.")

3.  A menu window will open up.  In that menu window is will be "Properties" if you use Internet Explorer as your browser or "View Image Info" if you use Firefox.  (I don't know what Chrome or Safari has.) Put the cursor (arrow) on "Properties" or "View Image Info" and click (normal, that is, left click).

4.  A window will pop up.  This window shows the properties (or image info) of that photo.  In this window, find "Address (URL)" (if using Internet Explorer) or "Location" (if using Firefox). It will start with "http" or "https." (Note: if the photo is posted on imagecoast.com, it will automatically give you the photo URL, so you don't have to do all this clicking to find it.)  

5.  Highlight this photo URL.  That is, place the curser over the URL, click (left click) and drag the cursor (hold down click bottom while moving the mouse to the right).  The highlighting should be in blue.  Make sure the entire address is highlighted.

6.  With the URL highlighted, place the cursor on the highlighted URL and right click.  A menu window will open up.  

7.  On this menu window, place the cursor on "Copy" and click (left click).  This saves the URL in your clipboard.

8.  Now, time to do your post with the photo.  On a TER discussion board, write a post as you normally do.  To put the photo in, go to the bottom of the page and find the box marked "Picture URL."  You'll see it has an "http://" already in the box.  Place the cursor in that box.  (The arrow will turn to a vertical line.)  

9.  Now, right click.  A menu window will open up.  In that menu, find "Paste."  Place the cursor on "Paste" and click (left click).  The photo URL will now be in that box.

10.  One more thing.  If you highlighted, copied, and pasted the entire photo URL, there might be 2 sets of "http://" in the box.  The photo won't post like this.  So, you have to delete one of the "http://" if there are 2 of them.  You only want one "http://" at the beginning and that has to be at the beginning.  

11.  That's it.  When you click the "post message" for the post, the photo should appear when the message does.

If you go to the self help center it should explain every question you might have. As far as your photos you might want to try  
Postimage dot org. Don't hesitate to ask for help
