How could I go about posting pictures on this forum as opposed to linking to them? Thanks.

You can't post a picture here. You can only link to it.

You can't. You'd have to put them on a hosting serivce and link from there.

Here is an example - just substitue the [ or ] with < or >, and between the quotes put the web location of the image you want to post.

[img src="http://rotoguru2.com/images/gfs2.gif"]

Will get you this.

When you said "link", in assumed you meant linking to them within an [img] tag. But maybe I misunderstood.

If the photo is available on a web server somewhere, you post it here with the following tag:

[img src="http://domain.com/photo.jpg" width=w height=h]

where http://domain.com/photo.jpg is the image file,
w is the width in pixels that you want to display,
h is the height in pixels that you want to display.

You can ignore the width and height specifications, in which case the image will display at whatever size it is. Sometimes, you are better served to reduce its size by specifying lower numbers, although if you do that, it's best to keep them proportionate to the underlying dimensions.
