OK it takes some time to experiment. the fAQ answers this, also, I did a search here and read Donn's post on how to post.

Just experiment with this;

Save your internet photos or scanned photos to your C drive.

Open a Sony image station account www.imagestation.com (http://www.imagestation.com) - just follow the prompts.

- put the number of images you want to load into imagestation

- click search, and select your C drive 'favourite photos' place

-click on the photo you want (in your c drive)

- click ok (in your c drive)

- in imagestation click 'upload'

- double-click on little photo image in imagestation once loaded

- left mouse click, select 'properties'

- highlight the URL- all of it, the http:// etc through to the jpg.org.jpg . Ok, here it is important to just select the FIRST jpg (the three letters) BUT NOT THE DOT. copy with control C

- open another netscape or explorer, bring up woodenboat, start your post

- select IMAGE - from the second colum, bottom under 'INsant UBB Code'

-in the post image box, click in the field and control V paste

-click OK

- click preview post to review.

Or to put it another way:
Instructions for posting pictures

Photo to be posted must be on the web and in a site that allows cross posting. Many Forum users use www.imagestation.com (http://www.imagestation.com) . This is a free site which seems to have unlimited storage, large picture size, and unlimited albums.

Upload your pictures to ImageStation and create your albums or leave the pics in the in box as you wish.
Pictures in ImageStation are displayed in three sizes: thumbnail, display and original. Left click on the thumbnail brings up the display photo, about 640 bits X 400 or so. A left click on the display photo brings up the photo in the original size you uploaded. Forget this one, except in rare cases which I cannot explain it cannot be cross linked. So....

Left click on the thumbnail to show the display version.

Right click on this picture.

Left click "Properties".

Highlight the Address [URL] and copy it (Ctrl/C).

Now go to The Forum and prepare your new message.
Write what you want as a preamble to your picture, then:

Below the message area is a button, "IMAGE". Left click it.

Paste the URL you copied above into the block displayed.
Note that the block contains http already highlighted. Just paste without doing any thing else so you don't get http twice.

Add what ever additional text you wish to add after the URL of the picture is displayed.

Click on the "Preview Post" button to confirm that what you want us to see will appear, then close the window.

Click the "Add Reply" button and standby for responses.
