save your picture to your My Photo's file. (or any other file)

go to www.imageshack.us

click on browse

select the file (My Pictures is under My Documents)

select picture

click the "remove size/resolution bar from thumbnail" button

click "host it" (takes a minute)

copy the URL in the "Hotlink for forums 1" box

paste the URL where ever you want the picture to show up in your thread (while posting/modifing)

or... OR... you could just read the FAQ's.
