How To: Post Pictures In Your Activation Post

New to the forum world but aren't sure how to post pictures?

Here's a "how to" for those newly registered members that are trying to activate their account, but don't know how to. To post a picture, it must be hosted on a site like photobucket or flickr. Those accounts are free, so go ahead and sign up for one and upload a picture from your computer.

upload pictures to the photo hosting account
