Thanks to ziritrion

His explaination was in the NEW (AND EASIER?) TRIVIA QUESTION... thread

Step by step:

1) Get any image. Either scan it into your computer or get one from the internet. Let's suppose you scan the image or take a picture of it, and you upload it to your PC/mac.

2) Host your image online. You'll need to find an online host. A very good one is http://imageshack.us . It's also free. Once you host it (only a couple clicks, the website is very easy to use), you'll get a bunch of links, some of them specifically meant for using them in forums like this one. Copy that one.

3) Create a new post, and paste the link into the post. It should look something like:

[img]http://www.yourimagehost.com/yourpic.jpg[/img]

4) Submit the post. Make sure that when you post, the "Disable BBCode in this post" square right below the writing frame is NOT marked, or else you'll post a line of text like the one I've just showed.

And that's it. You can also direct link any image on the internet and type it between the [img] tags, but some websites might assume that you're stealing bandwith from them (the very same thing happened some time ago here.) Hope this helps . If there are any doubts left, just PM me or post here!

Thanks again...
