Multiple photo thread assistance

Guys

I must be having a senior moment YellTongue out, but I'm stuffed if I can remember how to post content with either multiple photos, or text with a selected place in the text for the photo (as opposed to an Image with text at the bottom).

I've gone through the help post and attempted to use the [IMG][/img] HTML tags but that didn't work, I assume I need to add [URL][/url] tags as well. I've added a test photo at http://dreamweaver.myphotoalbum.com/view_photo.php?set_albumName=album02&id=Sambo but can't get it to work.

I know (believe) I could upload an image via either the Create Image Content facility (but then I would end up with two posts - the image and the refrring text post - which I don't want) or via the My Account file upload - but that only allows 500x500?

Anyone that can simply help this old codger out please?

Colin,
The easiest way to do it is via photobucket or something similar, where you upload to their hosting site, select the type of format you intend posting to, which auto resizes the pics to forum specs and then copy and paste the image code into your thread.

Thanks heaps for the quick response Andy, so, (sorry Foot in mouth) I've uploaded a pic to the 'My Photo Album' site, could you step me through how you did that please?

Thanks again Andy :)

Simple - just use the IMG auto copy and it captures the HTML - LOOVLI!
