Now, to get your pictures on this forum, you either need to upload them to the forum attachment service or use online hosting site, we are now considering ImageShack still exists, and that you can access to the website.

I am considering you already copied the pictures from the camera to your hard drive, preferably to your desktop in a folder called "Pictures".
Once you here: http://www.imageshack.us/
Click on Browse,
and you will see your desktop (most likely) if not you can click on "Desktop" from the left menu.
Now double click on Pictures folder, you will see all your pictures. You can click on any picture you like to upload, and click on Open now click on "Host It!".
This will upload the image, and will return a list of links for you, go all the way at the bottom, where it says Direct link to image and COPY that (select it, and right click and copy". Then come back here, and PASTE it into your message. Put
You must be registered for see images
to the end of it. This will display the image! That's all.

Imageshack can only accept images up to 1.5MB each, so if your pictures are bigger than that, you may need to resize them.
Resizing pictures are very easy. Install this to your computer:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/whistler/Install/2/WXP/EN-US/ImageResizerPowertoySetup.exe
This link will install "Microsoft Image Resizer" to your PC. You can resize pictures easily by Right Clicking on the image, and choosing "Resize Pictures" and Choose "Large" or "Medium". Now those will resize and put "_resized" to the end of the file, without touching the original one. (Will create a copy) those can be easily uploaded. This image resizer is simple, but does not create high quality resize, for high quality resize there are other programs.
