There's about three basic ways to host your photos.

The best is as I mentioned in the thread above is on your own web site - that way you don't have content issues.

Otherwise you can link to photos on your ads - or a mySpace page, but some sites don't like you using their bandwith by linking that way.  Obviously don't bother with CL ads since they go away quickly and unpredictably.

The final way is a photo storage service such as Photobucket - which has content issues.

Like it says above I'm slow when it comes to computers...any help would be appreciated. Am I suppose to put it online somehow...?

You can't upload a picture to TER.  If you want to post a picture, it has to be housed somewhere on the net already.  Since you already have pictures on your site, you are good to go.

Here is what you need to do:

1)  Select the picture want to post,
2)  Right-click, and select "Copy Image Location".
3)  Paste that location in the "picture URL field".

Here is an example.  I'm celebrating tonight!!!  I'm an American, who received part of his education in South Africa, and now lives the UK.  Tonight, the Springboks, South Africa, defeated England in the World Cup final.  Here is an image of their celebration:

BTW, forgive my manners, I know I responded to one of your earlier posts, but I have yet to "officially" welcome you to the newbie board.  Welcome aboard friend, we're here to help!

who left to start his own site.  Takes a bit of learning, but there don't seem to be content issues.
