    If the photo is on your computer and not on the internet somewhere you can attach it to your post. Click the circled picture below when writing a post and a window will open. click the browse button, find the image, select it and click upload.
    158428.jpg
    It'll appear as a link on the same page. right-click it and click Copy image location, then click close window

    Then as Sykk says, put the [img] link here [/img] tag and put the link you just copied between the tags.

    It's what I did to attach the picture to this post so click quote on my post to see what I did

    Can you tell me where to/how to upload a file to the internet so I can post the link on boards and it remains anonymous?

    TIA

    You'll need to explain a bit more about what you're trying to do. Anything you post will still be under your username in most cases. And there's no such thing as guaranteed or complete anonymity on the internet.

    Fair point.

    I've no problem with my username being seen. I'm just looking for anonymity on boards.ie.

    I just want to be able to give a link rather than post a pic direct from my computer. If I post it from my computer my computer name (in my case my real name) shows up so.....

    Sometimes I see pics uploaded onto boards that when one clicks on to them they are linked straight the pic not even to another website such as flickr.

    If it's just pictures that you want, use http://wthax.org and give people the link for the image in question.

    If you are looking to upload files, you'll need to use a file hosting service like RapidShare, MegaUpload, FileSonic, etc.

    Have I got it right that this site turns ones pic into a weblink which one can copy and paste and therefore no personal information is seen? Thanks for all the help here

    No, there is no personal information involved. You're confusing proper HTTP links with the local path on your PC.

    I'll take your word for it :) (clueless in this dept!)
