store the pic on the web; I use http://www.photobucket.com
Once the images are saved therein, use the following code to include your pic in a thread:
(remove spaces)
[ img ]photobucket.com/mybigfatassclimbing.jpg [ /img ]
OK?

Photobucket can be a pain sometimes. Don't bother with all the little "links" shown below each pic. Instead, right click on the pic and select "properties". Then copy the full URL from the bottom of the properties window.
Then paste that link between what was already shown above:
[img ] (link to url) [/img ]
(removing ALL the spaces, of course)

Any tips using Snapfish as web source of pics for posting into supertopo? I tried recommended method on thread here and in supertopo help menu and got the standard small square with annoying red x in it showing I blew it.
Snapfish requires password log in to get to pics (maybe all photo storage sites do), making me wonder if that's the problem, as how can simply copying a pic address into supertopo (adding brackets etc. as per tips here) get around that log in requirement?
Thanks.

[ img ] photobucket.com/mybigfatassclimbing.jpg [ /img ]
correction:
you need the http://
[ img ] http://photobucket.com/mybigfatassclimbing.jpg [ /img ]
Take out all spaces
The address will need to end in either .jpg or .gif (though .png might work).
If it ends in .php , .html , .cgi ,etc. it's a web PAGE not a web IMG (image)

I use photobucket, it's simpler than it sounds. Once you've created your album...
-under each photo are 4 boxes of different codes
-the lowest box is IMG, left click once and a yellow box will flash for 2 seconds saying 'copied'
-go back to your S Topo reply (tabbed browsing makes it easy) and paste Ctrl V , that's it.
I wish I'd had these instructions my 1st time, it was hell!

It took me some effort to figure out how to post photos. Crimpergirl helped a lot - as always. But if I can do it, so can anyone. So here are Canadian-proof instructions, probably far more detailed than necessary - the geeks affect to scorn this, preferring to offer bits of instructions, then suggesting "RTFM".
Here is a paint by numbers method of posting photos, which works for me, and seems to have worked for others. I'm sure there are other methods.
1. Have photos on your hard drive, either from digital photos or scans.
2. Make sure they're reasonable e-size, not more than a few hundred kilobytes. (To find out, right click on the image. One of the options will then be "properties" - left click on that, and you'll learn the size.) A photo of more than that size takes forever for people with dial-up to download, plus ends up wider/higher than a standard screen and so impossible to look at.
3. Go to Photo Bucket (www.photobucket.com), and create an account. A basic account is free, and all you should need. You'll need a user ID and password - don't forget to record them somewhere, for later.
4. Once you have a Photo Bucket account, sign in.
5. A box saying "upload videos and images" will appear, including a "browse" button. Click on browse. You can then choose an image from your hard drive. (If there are several images, click on "add more images", and keep adding.)
6. Once you've selected the image(s), click on "Upload". Photo Bucket then essentially takes the photos from your hard drive and puts them in its memory.
7. In a few seconds, the photo (mini version) will pop up at the bottom of the page (try scrolling), together with stuff about url, tag, and image. Also icons to move, edit, delete or share. Ignore all that. Click on the tiny box above the photo's title, in effect choosing it. Then go below the photo, and right click on the tab that says "Generate HTML and IMG code". Then click "copy".
8. Your computer now has in its memory a reference to the photo, in the right size, and where it is. A "tag".
9. All you need to do now is start a thread, or post a reply to an existing thread. Type whatever message you want. Then put the cursor in the place you want the photo to be. Go to the "edit" toolbar again, and click on "paste". That sticks the tag in the place where it'll be in the message. Not the photo itself, just the tag - a reference for the ST server.
10. When you actually post the message, and it's added to the thread, the photo magically appears - the ST server knows where to look for it, on the Photo Bucket server, and puts it in.
All the photos that you upload to Photo Bucket sit there, so even if your computer is turned off, they're there for people to look at. For practical purposes a photo on ST is in the public domain.
Ain't that fun? There are other places you can do these things, but I'm told PB is simplest. I suspect that there are different details, but the principle is much the same.
