From a recent zack24 post -
To get photos to load quickly and show in the post, you first have to upload the photo to this site.

1.) Login

2.) Go to My Account (may have hit Home button first) and down to Album

3.) Choose Upload Picture (navigate to photo you've given a sensible name to), be sure to then hit Upload.

4.) Go back to Album, click on thumbnail to open full size image. Right click (Windows); Control Click (Mac) and copy the URL, then paste same in desired thread, using the IMG tag in the compose window.

Just to make that a bit clearer:
1.) Login

2.) Go to My Account (may have hit Home button first) and down to Album

3.) Choose Upload Picture (navigate to photo you've given a sensible name to), be sure to then hit Upload.

4.) Go back to Album, click on thumbnail to open full size image.

5.) Right click (Windows); Control Click (Mac) and select "copy the image location" from the pop up menu.

6.) Return to your reply window in the thread and click on the IMG button.

7.) Paste the image location into the window and click OK.
Your picture will appear in your post when you click "send post"

Thanks, Jesse; that makes it a clearer. I had been posting the following:
This is just one way to add photos to your post:
To get photos to load quickly and show in the post, you first have to upload the photo to this site.

1.) Login

2.) Go to My Account (may have hit Home button first) and mouse down to Album.

3.) Choose Upload Picture (navigate to photo you've given a sensible name to), be sure to then hit Upload.

4.) Go back to Album, click on thumbnail to open full size image. Right click (Windows); Control Click (Mac) and copy the URL, then paste same in desired thread, using the IMG tag in the compose window.
And was going to modify it to add:
The same will apply to at least Imgur, and perhaps other photo hosting sites. (At times Imgur doesn't put out the right links, so the Right click on Windows and the Control Click with a Mac will come up with the right link.)
With Jesse's blessing, I will modify my paste in to include his improvements.

Hi jp,
Thanks for that info re: Imgur. One thing that I like about Imgur is that it gives you several options for "copying the image location" so that it's formatted for different kinds of sites. With the BBC code option, which they indicate is for forums, all you need to do is hit the copy button in Imgur, then paste that into your reply. No need to use the IMG button, since that coding is included when the image location is copied. So far it's worked for me every time. But I'll keep an eye out in case it fails to do so.

So grateful here. I have never thought of that I may post a pic other than put it somewhere else...

This will disappear in time; it's eBay!

Just trying it with eBay, but they will change the URL when the item is sold.
Jesse- a few times, Imgur showed only two copy options, neither of which was an URL valid outside their site.
