This takes you to your own files  to select your photo for posting

double click left mouse on the image you want and it's selected as shown in step 4

Select the size as shown in step four and as shown click on "Host it".
Now this is where I got caught for a couple of reasons.
1. My camera if set on large format can take photos out to A3 and A2 poster size. This was far too large a file for my internet provider and everything timed out at this stage. By resizing the photo to document size (1024 x 768) before trying to post fixed this problem. If you want to keep the original size just make a copy and resize it for posting.
2. The second thing that caught me here is that after clicking "Host it" there can be a considerable delay before step 5 window appears, for me anyway. Don't get impatient (like I did) and start clicking away (like I did) or you'll just end up going round in circles (like I did)  
Once the window shown below in step 5 appears click on the small box to the left of the word image and it will turn blue as shown.

Now while holding the Ctrl (Control) button down press the C button. This has readied the image for copying to the forum page.
Now click on the "Host an image" icon up in the tool bar, the one that started this whole process. Don't click on the "Host it" shown in the step 5 window. If you've clicked the right one the step 5 window will disappear (don't panic as I did, the process is still running, we've just got the window out of the way and you should be looking at the view shown in step 6

Now click on the page where you want the image to go and then hold down Ctrl and push V. This has copied, or pasted as it is known, the image to the page.
If you want to copy another image click on the "Host an image" icon up in the tool bar again and the hosting window will reappear. Now click on the "Host it" button and it will take you back to step 2 to repeat the process.
After you have finished loading images you can click on "Send" to post your images or "Preview" if you want to check your photos are correct before posting. If you are happy with the photos remember to scroll back down to the "Send" button to finish the post.  


After hitting save, you should see your image.
