GO to 'Photo Archive', down the bottom you will see 2 windows. One to browse your PC for the picture file, and another to name the name that it will be uploaded as. Just keep the pictures reasonably small (I guess around 400 x 600 ish?) someone will correct the size if I'm wrong. THen upload, open the picture, take the [img]*****[/img] info from the picture and put that in the thread. Simples! Hopefully
