You have to host the picture on a website somewhere, and then in the post instead of attaching a picture you put a link to where the picture is with IMG tags around it to make it show up as a picture instead of just a link.

First upload your picture to one of the many free web servers available on the web such geocities.com (from yahoo), angelfire.com, freeserver.com and many more. If you have yahoo email account you already have access to geocities.com. Upload your file to their server.

Then in your post cut and past your link within -
- tags (without the -).

Hey Fish Friend, you are coming very close. The first ram pic shows up. The second ram pic, I think you used the PAGE url for the IMAGE url, what you need between the IMG tags is the IMAGE url. I think you meant to use this url: http://xs39.xs.to/pics/05303/Ram11.jpg
Like this (except w/out the spaces of course between the hard brackets ("[", "]" and "IMG"):
Code: 
[ IMG ]http://xs39.xs.to/pics/05303/Ram11.jpg[ /IMG ]


What you had used was "http://xs.to/xs.php?f=Ram11.jpg&h=xs39&d=05303", which is the PAGE url.

For the rabbit pic, you did the same thing. Although I think that rabbit pic might be too large (1230 x 923 is larger than what most people use as their entire screen resolution) to be embedding in your message. PRETTY rabbits though. I'm jealous. I wish I could have rabbits, but the cats would eat them ;)
