Yes, the picture has to be on the internet somewhere as a link. Make7 Nov 2012 #1

Thanks - I think it's kind of weird we can't just upload a photo, but regardless, thanks for codjh9 Nov 2012 #2

All you need to do to include the image in your post is copy the web address into your message. For example, posting this link...

[div style="color:#000099; margin-left:1em;"]http://www.democraticunderground.com/imgs/logo-du3-150x48.gif
... should put that image in your post like this...

The web address for the image must be a jpg, gif, or png.

If the picture you want to use is on your computer, you can use a free image hosting site like imugr or photobucket to upload the image to the web and then use their direct link in your post.
