i usually upload the pic to photobucket.com and then copy/paste the img url. you can resize pics and all that jazz on that site.

Yup. You need to use bracket codes for forums, so let me give a quick (extensive) tutorial...

You first have to upload a pic to any site (Facebook, Image Shack, Photo Bucket, your Myspace, etc. etc. etc.). Right click (that is, click with the right mouse button) on said image, and (if you're on IE,) go to Properties, then copy the address area (it should end in .jpg, .gif, or .bmp). You can do that by highlighting the field (all of it, from http all the way to the end of .jpg). From there, click the Img box here on Rockpage (it'll post [ img ] without spaces), then paste your address in (right click the typing area past the bracket code, then click Paste). Lastly, click the Img* box again, and it will "close" the code, looking like this... [ / img ]. Lastly, submit.

Yes, I know this goes detail to detail, and I realize that few people really need the full instructions. But I've learned, by trial and error (job-wise and all) to go through every last detail, just to make sure it's all understood, and everyone can use a refresher from time to time :D
