    I know this will be very obvious once shows me how stupid I am BUT how do you add pictures to forum thread and/or reply? It is easy for me in the classifieds and avatar but I can't seem to see what I need to add them in the forum.
    Thanks.

    Once you are creating a post, look at the top of the message box and click on the "insert image" button (very small yelllow box/picture with a mtn on it) at the top of the message if you want to "direct link" from your photo collage, or another website. Cut and paste your link onto that.

    If you want to upload a message, make sure to downsize it first to meet the size requirements, then upload it using the "manage attachments" button at the bottom of the page.

    Let me know if this has not answered your question(s).

    to add to what jason said, to know where the direct link is, you can right click the image and view properties (this allows linking directly to images you upload to vfrworld). It took me forever to figure this out. Michael must have told me 3 times before I got it right. after you click the yellow stamp looking icon in the boder of the message box, start typing the http://www.vfrworld.com/photos/example.jpg or whatever it is... and remember to position the cursor where you want the pic. Sometimes, I got the cursor back at the top of a message, then I accidentally put the pic at the top and then had to delete it and try again... If you want larger than 640x480, you'll want to store somewhere else, though. I use photobucket and reduce them to 800x600 usually.
