I upload to Flickr, select share, select BB code and paste in to the picture block on the reply screen on this board. Flicker gives you the option of resizing the picture before copying it, which is convenient.

Doing it that way will result in additional Flickr text being posted with the picture but it’s not hard to get rid of if you don’t like it.

I go to imgur dot com. It’s free and easy to upload a picture, then immediately click “get share codes” and get the BB code. It really helps to have already sized the picture to 800 x 600 or so. Their own editor isn’t too sophisticated.

Have you ever read the children's book "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie"?

I found a flip page for it...
