If you want to include a picture in a forum message, you must first upload it to a website.  This could be one of the image hosting sites such as fotopic.net or flickr.com, or your personal web space if your ISP provides this.  You cannot store photos directly on the forum website, nor can you refer to them in messages if they are only on your own computer. When you upload a photo to a website, you will be given a web address ("URL") of the photo, for example:     http://images.fotopic.net/yhhnus.jpg To include that photo in a forum message, you have to type   <img src="  followed by the URL of your photo, followed by  "> Some image hosting sites provide this code for you to copy and paste into your message. For example:     <img src="http://images.fotopic.net/yhhnus.jpg"> will produce this photo of a British Airways Boeing 777 landing (successfully!) at Heathrow: You can try this out on one of the test threads on the little-used Wandsworth forum (link on the home page of this site if you're not already there).  One further point:  owing to what seems to be a bug in the forum software, the only way of displaying a photo in the first message of a new thread is to omit the " signs at each end of the URL.  It's not good HTML code, but it seems to work.
