How do members who post pictures do it without using a host website address?

They don't. You need to use a web-hosting service to post to this board. There are many out there and many are free (depending upon how much posting you want to do). Village Photos, www.villagephotos.com , is the one I use. I have a paid subscription, but, for the amount I use it, I could really get by with the free service level.

Ron,

There are pretty complete instructions in the Help section for the Tech Board. You will have to upload files to one of the host servers. There are several available and listed in the help file.

You will need to point to the URL where the photo is to make it work. Plug that URL into your browser address bar and if it works from there it will work from here. If it doesn't work from their it won't work from here. Don't point to a SCRIPT on a server. www.photos.com/index.cgi?34fft6789 or something similar to that will not work! www.photos.com/user/freeacount/car.jpg will work.

Another good tip is to always use the Preview Message button for any message with a picture. If it doesn't show in the Preview, it won't show if you post it. You can experiment and try again and again until you get it to work before you post the message.

Happy Posting.
