You can now post your pictures to the photo section and have them display right on the page rather than just putting a link to them. You do this by first uploading your photo to Imageshack and copying the link from there. You do not have to give any personal information, not even an email address, just upload your photo.
Heres a step-by-step guide...
1. Start writing your message in the message box and leave a blank line. Now click on the link below the box 'Upload image to post ImageShack'

2. On the Imageshack screen, wait for the browse button to appear and click it. Find the photo you want to upload on your computer and double-click it (or click and then select open). Click on 'Resizing' and select 320x240 and then click 'Upload Now'.

3. When the upload is finished you will see a list of links on the left hand side, the one you want is 'Forum Code'. Click on the link to highlight it and press Ctrl-C to copy it (you may have to wait a short time for the page to load fully).

4. Go back to your message and press Ctrl-V, you should now have pasted the link in the message box - it will look something like this...

You can delete the line which starts 'Uploaded with...' and click Submit to save your message.
To post two photos side by side all you have to do is just leave one space between the links for the two pictures you want side by side. I don't recommend you post more than two side by side as they would be too wide for some people's monitors.
When you've uploaded your second photo to Imageshack, and before you insert the link into your post, put the cursor immediately after the first link, press the spacebar once to insert a space, and then press Ctrl-V to insert your second link. That's it.
