Uploading photos to the SDMB

[Jake]

How do I upload a .jpg photo of my cat to the board for posting?

You don't. You upload a copy to a Yahoo! group or photobucket or something like that, and post a link here to that location.

OK. I've got them in Photobucket. Do I just copy the URL and paste it in my post?

Yes, just like you'd post a link for anything else. You have posted links before, right? ;)

you post a link by typing <url="http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=395399">your link here</url>, except you use left and right square brackets rather than <>, so it looks like this (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=395399).
