    Wayne,
    It's easy. You already have

    Wayne,
    It's easy. You already have a members home page and you seem to be able to post pictures there. Below you will find something Tim Smalley posted in the forum tips and tricks section around 12/15 last year.
    Hope this helps.

    “To "post" photos on this forum, they actually have to be posted on a website somewhere and they are just linked to this forum.

    There are a few free website providers out there - but the best way is join the SubCommittee then you get free web space right on this site that you can post your photos on.

    Go to your website where your photos are already posted and right click on the pictures and go to "properties." Then block in the URL of the photo - After you have it blocked in copy it (Ctrl-C).

    Now, come back to the SC forums and start your message. When you want to insert the photo, click on the Image button at the top of the screen and paste the URL of your photo (Ctrl-V) into the window. (Note that it automatically sticks an http:// in the window. Be careful not to add a second one - if you do, it won't work!)

    Finish up your message,

    Preview the post (use Preview Post) button to see if it looks okay.

    If it passes muster, click on the "Add Reply" button.

    And that's it. It seems complicated but if you have basic computer skills you can do it - heck if you can build a model sub, your certainly can post a link to a photo of it.

    Good luck!

    BTW - If once it's up, you notice you messed something up, you can always hit the Edit button and you can change it - even after it’s posted on this board! (You can only edit your OWN messages if you are a SubComittee member.) “
