Threads - Inserting Pictures

Hi All,
I notice that several threads have pictures inserted. May be a simple question, but how is this done. I have tried the ' Insert Image ' icon in the thread tool bar, but am asked for a http link. Have also tried replacing this link with the path to the pic on the PC. Can someone help me out.
Thanks

insted of using the quick post, click on advanced.. here you will be able to "manage attachments" a bith further down.... you can then insert your images... pretty straight forward from that point... they will have to be re-sized to fit though... ie; a JPG file needs to be under 1.05mb.. there is a free windows toy that you can install that re-sizes images for you... do a search for that...

When you use this method a small picture of the image will appear at the bottom of the post. Clicking on it will open it. I thought Davidman was asking how to paste a picture across the post permanently.

well the only other way is to:
a) get it hosted elsewhere OR
b) once you have uploaded it via the "manage attachments", you can view the picture... then in the address bar, you can copy the link, re-edit your post and insert the image using the address that you just copied... (make sense??)
