Herre are the instructions I typed up for Charlene. You don't have to use Imageshack any hosting site will do.
The best way to do this is to "host' the picture on a website that will create a URL (web "address") that you can link to. That may sound complicated but it really isn't.
I like to use ImageShack, they are very user friendly so just go to their website at:
http://www.imageshack.us/
From there you will get a page that lets you upload an "image", "url", or "video" make sure "image" is selected then click on "browse". This will allow you to find and select your photo from your hard drive. When you click on your photo, the link to it will be appear in the "browse" box.
The next box is "email address" you do not need to enter your email address so just skip it. Select "resize image" and select "640x480 (for message boards)" Then click "host it!". This part takes a few seconds so be patient.
Your picture will appear in a tiny box on the screen that comes up and there will be several different URL's that appear on the page. I use the last one which says "direct link to image" you will need to copy this URL and paste it into your post.
Go into "post message" on the RLS board type your message i.e. "here is a picture of me" then click on the box above the message screen that says "IMG" paste the URL for your picture next to "IMG" then click the "IMG" box again. You may notice that after you clicked it the first time it changed to "*IMG". When you are done it will look like this in your message:
[img]Your%20Picture%20URL%20Here[/img]
However when you go back to view your post you will see the picture.
Let me know if you have any trouble with this! Good luck!
