Best bet is to set up a photo hosting account (I use Photobucket) and just copy and paste the IMG code into your post.
on the reply page look down where it says go advanced and click. you'll see "manage attatchments" ... the rest is easy that will let you post thumbnails. if you want to post pics you need photobucket or another photo host. then it's just copy and paste
slamed tudor ... posting pics in a thread can be done via two basic methods: 1) Insert Image or 2) as an Attachment ...

Thank you Hemi32. I was just trying to figure this out last night by searching old posts. I got frustrated and gave up. I will try again thanks to your explanation.
blackrat40 & cactus1 ... You're very welcome. Here's two more "tips" on posting pics on the H.A.M.B. ... 1) When pasting an image's URL into the Image URL text box of the THE H.A.M.B. - Reply to Topic window: ... be sure to first delete the existing "http://" ... cuz if you don't, this duplicate text will be displayed to the left of the image (see cactus1's test image post above). 2) When posting an image from my Photobucket album, I either copy the Photobucket "IMG Code" URL: ... and paste it directly into my HAMB post ... OR I copy the Photobucket "Direct Link" URL: ... and paste it into the Image URL text box of the THE H.A.M.B. - Reply to Topic window. Although the Photobucket "HTLM Code" URL will also work, I don't reccommend it as it will allow folks to easily access your entire Photobucket Album (by simply clicking on the image in the HAMB post) ... this is what cactus1 did in his test image post above. The Photobucket "Email & IM" URL doesn't work on the HAMB.
Just to add to the Great tutorial from HEMI32,as long as you're logged out of your account,when you click on the pic,it won't open up your album. Also,If you use p-bucket,make sure your ALL of your albums are set to "private" so you don't have your "other" pics accessible.
I don't believe that's true ... I'm logged out of my Photobucket account right now ... all my Cookies, Browsing History, Temp Internet files, etc. have been deleted ... and I can see the 3 pics in cactus1's Photobucket album. 61TBird makes a very good point ... this is really the key if you are "worried" about protecting the privacy of other photos in your Photobucket album(s).
If the person that posted the pic is still logged in or has an "open" (not private or locked) account,you can view all of their pics.
