Of the host sites I have tried, I find TinyPic.Com to be the one I used most often for posting pictures here. It requires no registration. Just upload the picture to TinyPic, copy the link, paste it here. Note: I have two browser windows open, when doing this. One window is the forum's message window, and one is for TinyPic.Com
Use Windows' standard open window to find and select the picture on you hard drive and click on the Open button.
Click the Upload Now button
Select the IMG Code URL, second from the top, and paste it into a post or PM. Note: clicking on the URL copies it.
The above assumes that the picture size meets the forum's recommended maximum dimensions.
Maximum width = 640 pixels
Maximum height = 480 pixels
Maximum file size = 100 KB
If the dimensions of the picture are too large, you can have TinyPic.Com resize the picture when you upload it, by using the Resize drop-down menu to select Message Board (640x480).
Or, you can copy the Direct Link for Layouts
Open the Message Windows Image tool, http://www.rv.net/glb/cfb/images/editortoolbar/image.gif, paste the link in the URL field, and enter any value less than or equal to 640 in the width field. Leave the height field blank. Click on Finished.

It has been added to the FAQs, which I will rework as time premits. I plan on doing a similar thread for a couple more hosts sites. I did TinyPic first because it is the one that I use most often.
