what am i missing - can't upload picture

[metshaz]

hi guys, trying to upload a photo...
When i browse to my desktop and pick my picture, it comes up in the browse box okay....but when i try and preview the post, the picture isn't there

What am i missing please?

PS:::::::: i did resample picture to a small file size (108kb)
and it is a jpg

Did you click the 'host it' button once the file address was loaded?

[metshaz]

no because i thought that hosting it meant it was hosted on a remote server , rather than from my destop!

ps i like your signature, i started smoking at 13 and smoked 40 a day until i quit 4 years ago, since then i've not given in once

Well done on quitting shaz can't be easy.

Yes the image is hosted remotely. You can set up a private account with host sites and upload from there by copying and pasting the relevant code. Bazman set that image hosting system up so don't know where the images go apart from on the imageshack website obviously.
