I saw an old post of how to post a picture on the forums. However it required registering to that site. If you want dedicated hosting and you are not worried about your pictures being pooled with trillions of other photos, follow these steps. Note these steps assume you know how to browse through window's folders/manage your own files, use the internet, copy and paste functions and use a mouse.

1) First go to tinypic.com

Image

2) Click Browse, and find the picture you want to display

Image

3)click open, and your file will be displayed in the text box

Image

4)If you image is larger than 640 x 500 pixel, then you will need to resize it. Click the down arrow beside the Resize and select 640 x 360.

Image

5)Then click upload now

Image

6) Notice in picture above has one of the "Grab your code" highlighted, all you need to do is click on it and tinypic will automatically highlight it. Copy it.

7) Paste the code into your post

Image

8) Enjoy posting your pictures at Nicoclub.
