**EDIT: I am not sure if all of these are free. But I do believe that about 98% of them are.

I hope that some of these are useful. I try!

Also, when you post images you can do either one of the following:

If you want to post multiple pictures on one post and you have them uploaded onto one of the websites above you can RIGHT CLICK>PROPERTIES and highlight the URL address. COPY and then paste but on first end of the URL type in [~img~] (without the ~'s in there) and on the opposite end type [~/img~] (also without the ~'s in there). Some sites already have it formated for you so all you have to do is highlight it and COPY & PASTE it onto the forum.

The easiest way (which a lot of people do) is click on POST REPLY and scroll down to where you see BROWSE...(or ATTACHMENT) You click on it and it should take you to your pictures folder. You might have to shrink it down a bit (I use PAINT and go to IMAGE>SKETCH/SKEW) so that it is 50000 bytes or less.
