I had thought that you had to have 500 posts in order to put pictures in your discussions, but I've seen many people here posting pictures with only 100 or so responses. Can someone tell me how to get pictures on your posts? Do we have to upload them to something like photobucket first? Or can we just simply copy and paste a picture, then add it to our discussions? I tried looking under the instructions but couldn't find actual answers.... I also tried doing a search to see if anyone else asked how to do it and didn't see any posts. Can anyone help me post pictures?

yes, you are right you do have to have 500 posts to put pictures in your discussions, yes you do have to upload them to your photobucket that is what I have heard so I hope that someone else maybe able to help you more.

Well, I just tried it and it wouldn't work. I started a new message, uploaded my picture to photo bucket then tried to upload it to the message and the image wouldn't take on the post. They give you three options in photobucket URL Link HTML Link IMG Code Which one do you enter under Browse pictures????

But I see people doing it all the time and they don't have 500 posts yet.... and it gives you the option when you are starting a discussion to do it. I just don't know how to get the picture to upload. Please read my other comments and you'll see what I'm talking about.

I figured it out. I have to save the picture to my desktop, then I'm able to browse to that file and add it. It shows up in a picture right below the message! Woo Hoo, I did it! lol! I've posted to new questions and they both have pictures now.
