How do I attach pictures to a post

I’ve been wandering around and cannot figure it out. I want to add a photo to my post. How do I do that?

You cannot do it in such a way that the pic shows up in the post. This feature is disabled on the SDMB. To link to a photo, you need to use photobucket or flickr or similar photo hosting site to store your photo. Then, link to it like any other URL:
{url=www.xyz.com}link text here{/url}
only using square brackets.

You can’t. The SDMB supports neither avatars nor attachments. Have you ever seen a photo in a post?

We usually just put the photo somewhere else and link to it. Here’s an example: Doper pic thread - Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share - Straight Dope Message Board

You’re a charter member, you’ve been around since 2002, you’ve made more than a thousand posts and you haven’t figured this out yet?

Are you trying to Whoosh us?

If you need a place to host your picture, there’s several around. I think the most popular one that requires no passwords or signup is tinypic.com
