I would love to post pictures of switchblades wedding but I really need help. Where do I look for instructions. I think you would love them. And, he and the new missus look pretty happy :mrgreen:

Upload the photos to a yahoo album, or some other online album.

Then just post the link to it.

That's what I did anyway.

To make things easy, first make sure your Xmarks forum options are set so you use the full WYSIWYG editor. That way when it comes time to plop an image into your post, just click the button that looks like a picture. Then give the dialog what it is asking for: the image's URL.

And this is the hard part. This is were people start scratching their heads. From what I can tell you cannot upload images to Xmarks. You have to find some online way of storing the images so that they can be "pointed to" by the Xmark's web server.

Luckily for me, I have my own website and therefore control my own little "hard drive in the sky". But most of the time your basic, free, do-it-yourself, show-off-the-kids'n'pets, Tripod-like, Angelfire-like, loaded-with-ads, type web hosting services will not allow you to use them as image servers (called "remote loading").

I didn't think Yahoo allowed it, but I guess they do per Prester John. There is also a service out there that specifically offers a remote loading service, but the catch is that they get to use the images however they like (you lose control over the image to an extent). Pardon, but I have no idea who they are (never needed to look for such a beast). Perhaps someone here will know.

Join photobucket (photobucket.com). Once you are a member you can upload the photos to there. Then review your pics and select the ones you want to post. When you look at each of your pic, you will see lines under each pic (URL, TAG, IMG). place the mouse cursor at the beginning of the "IMG" lone, click and hold down the right mouse button while you drag across the "IMG" line until the whole line is highlited. Then hit "ctrl c" to copy, and make your introductry post , click enter to start a new line and hit"ctrl v" to paste. The result should look like this:
