Sometimes the picture host on these forums don't work. Then you might wanna nedd some public hosts. Imageshack for example.

An interesting addition to that comment… People who are not registered users can’t see forum attachments… imageshack would be my preference too.

What i did was maybe far off.
But just make a screenshot, and upload it to ur website.
Then attach the url in ur message and there you go

They upload fine, you just have to make sure they are under 100k in size, or they will not upload to your message. So, if you have an image editor, you have to reduce the file size/compression of the ones over 100k, 90k is better. AJ Rimmers stated path is correct to upload your images to the message, use the "Manage Attachments" button below your posting window as you are composing your message.
