TA, There are a couple of ways to post pics.
1. If the pictures are already on the internet somewhere, say uploaded to hotboatpics.com or your website etc. Just go to the picture on the internet, then right click on the picture and select properties. Highlight the address (URL) and copy it.
When you are moking your post here, hit the little picture button with the mountains on it. A box pops up. Paste the address (URL) in the box and presto, it is inserted into your post. You can insert up to 10 pictures in one post with this method.
2. I you just have the picture on your hard drive, you can insert it into your post as an attachment. Click on the browse button next to the box next to file attachments. Then find the picture on your computer and ckick on it. Then click OK. Presto, the file is uploaded to the board and inserted at the end of your post. You can only attach 1 picture per post with this method.
I hope this helps. Good luck and lets see you pics.

#1 is the prefered way. I'll bet your pics are to big they need to be around 600 x 400 Alot of us use Hotboatpics.com to host our pics, be aware though there are some adult content pics over there

The problem I am having is that my digital photos seem to come in at about 600k mb, and this websites wants pictures under 150k mb or around there, what is the easiest way to shrink, or should I try and upload them to hotboat and bring them over here, for example a simple picture of my boat.

It looks like you got it figured out. The upload limits are currently set to 100K per attachment. Most pics set at 640 x 480 and optimized with Photoshop or ImageReady will be under that.
