Hotlinking prohibited - How do you insert/attach images here?

[Golden Phoenix]

How are you trying to upload them?

I would suggest signing up to a website like flicker or photobucket.
When you get the photo's uploaded to one of those website you can deeplink them here.
You hit the picture button and past the url of the actual picture

i feel your pain mate... i had the same trouble a few years ago when i first started checking out forums and stuff.

i would suggest using "tinypic" ( just google that.... you'll find it )

when you're there, all you have to do is:

1: click the "browse" button, it'll open up a window to all your saved pictures.... choose the one you want to post by clicking on it... then press "open" at the bottom.

2: now you'll be back at the main page.... press "upload now" (big green button)

3: enter the verification code (to prove your a person... not a computer...lol)
then press the "upload now" button

4: it'll take you back to the main page again.... except now there are four boxes with script in them. left click on the second one from the top (img codes for forums and message boards) which will highlight the text, then right click... and choose "copy"

now when you create a post here on the forums...

right click the mouse... and paste.

that bit of text is your photo... try preview post to make sure it worked, and hooray! you've posted a photo.

just repeat from step 1 for each photo you want to post.

hope i've helped.... i tried to keep it simple as possible.

pm me if you need anymore help mate... we've all been there

Oh dude, Wireless Broadband and Uploading must be bloody painful.
I use Photobucket myself and I find it to be fairly straight forwad and easy to use, much like yourself I struggled when I 1st joined a forum in understanding how to do 'this-that and the other thing' but you'll get the hang of it.
Also, you're not alone in this dude as a couple of other recently joined members needed assistance in how to upload and post pics - we're always here to help though.

i've now been trying to upload to photobucket for 8hrs and it's kinda stuck trying to upload the last pic.IT just seems to be stuck at 98% for the last 2hrs any suggestions.

What size image are you trying to upload?
I suggest 800x600 pixels. There's usually a resize option on most image hosting sites.

That's happened to me from time to time and I'm on a fixed line connection.
What I normally do in the event of it hanging like you describe is:

1. Refresh the page by hitting the refresh button of your browser or the 'F5' key - This will reset the page and it'll look like nothing has uploaded, in actuality it has.
2. Next, choose to view the album you were uploading the pics to, you'll notice that almost all the pics would've been uploaded (At least they should've).
3. Then, look through each pic and identify which ones aren't there that should be.
4. Re-upload the identified pics that weren't successful initially to the album.

That's what I tend to do, it's frustrating at times but it only seldomly happens to me - let us know if you need further assistance.
