1. Upload to an Image Hosting website.

www.tinypic.com
www.imageshack.us
www.photobucket.com

2. Once uploaded look for the "DIRECT LINK" it will look like http://www.mymk5gti.com/mypicture1.jpg

3. Cut the link.

4. Go to the forum box and press the INSERT IMAGE button, 3rd one in, on the same line as YOUTUBE

5. Paste the link.

6. DONE

There's a "How to" in the "New Members Intro" in case you didn't see it while you were reading the site rules  :laugh:

Here you go.......

Long winded way.....

If using home pc, Email the photos to yourself from your phone then save the images and upload them to Photobucket. If you have an iPhone and iPad then just photo stream them across and then transfer to Photobucket that way, they have an app by the way for Apple devices.

Do you use twitter or facebook? Upload from your phone.

Or if you use G Mail open the email and save it as a draft, and then log in on web and re open the draft

Have you now got the images into a Photobucket account? If so, you just click on the bottom link, Image code [IMG], it should say "copied" after this and the you paste it in your post.
