Am I correct in the belief that on photo.net is is possible to post an image with a response like an e-mail attachment? My problem is that I don't have an isp that gives me server space onto which I can post images, and even then, it seems that the html is pretty difficult to get straight. So am I correct with how I *think* photo.net does it, and if so could it be done here? I've got some pictures I'd love to share! Thanks, Frank

Yes, on some forums you can easily post images. Not on this one. (Maybe I should add it to the Post Hack script? What do you all think?)

Here is what you need to do: Upload your image to Index@photo.net (there are instructions). The click on the image, select large size (seems to be required to get the original size?), right-click on your image and select 'Copy Image Location' (Netscape) or 'Properties' and then cut the address (URL) field (Internet Exploder). You should end up with something like 'http://photo.net/photodb/image-display.tcl?photo_id=12741&size=lg' in your cut-and-paste buffer. (The number in italics will be different for you.)

Now follow the instructions in

Also note that there are many offers of free web space for you to put your images, just search for 'free web hosting' in a search engine.
