    I use photobucket, and find it very easy.

    Like David, I copy or download to my pictures or my desktop.
    I open photobucket and it prompts you with "Up load now". Then "Select photos and videos". Then it has a drop down for you to select from desktop, files, etc. You can do more then one photo at a time. You make and title your own albums. Click on any of those to down load into it. Or let it come up on your main page and then move it to where ever you want. They give you more then enough space to have hundreds of albums.
    Then when you go to a photo is has four options. Email & IM, Direct link, HTML code, IMG code. I copy "IMG code" and paste it into the thread. You can check preview to see how it looks.

    One think I don't like. If you move it from one album to another, it changes the address. This deletes it from any threads you have it posted on. Small thing to remember.

    Sounds complicated, but after a few, it's as easy as installing a trigger spring.

    That's not really a problem here Jim ...

    Within an hour or so of posting (linking to pics off-site), they are mirrored and reside on our own server here for posterity, so even if a user moves all his pics to another album, or the hosting site deletes them after the 30 day free trial a lot of people take advantage of, they still appear properly in threads, just as the original poster submitted them.

    Why are my images from Photobucket, ImageShack etc. copied to milsurps.com?

    Regards,
    Doug
