The idiot being me!
The question of photo posting comes up from time to time and all us old hands say "Just use photobucket to host your picture and paste the link in your post here, it's a piece cake!" Which is all well and good but everything is a piece of cake when you know how
So here is a step by step for photobucket 
Of course you don't have to use photobucket, there are other free picture hosting sites, but I have used it for over five years now without any problems. Just ignore all the adverts and rubbish around the edges
First off save your pictures on your computer...
Go to photobucket.com/ Click "sign up" and enter your chosen username, password, email etc.
After entering your details click "sign me up" and you will see this screen. Ignore all the stuff that says "Store More, Share More with Pro!" because that costs money. The free version is ample, you won't get anywhere the limit for storage or bandwidth unless you are going to post literally thousands of pictuers. Simply click the "Upload now" button.
Which gives you this screen - self explanatory, as indeed are the next few
Which takes you here (on your computer not mine!). Double click Pictures.
Giving you this, double click required folder.
Folder opened.
Single left click to select photo for upload. Hold down Ctrl key to select more than one. Selected photo's highligted in blue. Single click "Open" and the upload to photobucket begins (it takes only a few seconds depending on how many and how big the photo's are)
You then see this screen (which doesn't fit on my laptop hence it is shown in two screen shots below). The three boxes below the photo thumbnails for title and tags etc are optional, you can simply click "Save and continue to my album"
This will take you to your album which will look something like this but with more and bigger fish
Hover the cursor over the thumbnail and four boxes will appear below it. Left click IN the "IMG code" box, it will briefly flash "copied" (blink and you will miss it). The IMG code is now copied to your clipboard and all you have to do is paste it into your post on here.
The IMG code will look somthing like this in your post. but with square brackets [ ] around the IMG not normal ones.

Job done!
There, we said it was a piece of cake didn't we ;D
There had better be an out break of photo's on the forum now or else
