Can someone please, gently, in idiotville language, talk me through the process of posting pics on here? No computer jargon. Just ABC! Being the egoist that I am, I would love to share some of my pic of shiny macks of me and 'er, wrapped up in our shiniest finest.
Thanks in anticipation......

use a free picture file hoster like https://imgbb.com/ or any other service.

upload your pic in a proper size (means not the full resolution size of xx megapixel out of the camera, smaller pics from 1000 to 1600 pixel on the longer side are enough to look good on the net for most users)

The file hoster shows you some links, copy the "direct link" to your clipboard.

click on the "insert picture" icon here (with the "sun" at the upper left corner and a landscape below), paste the picture link between the Image, there may no empty spaces between. Then it will show your picture embedded in your posting.

That was perfect!

I think new posters get confused because they think our site here can "host" pictures. It does not. Our site here can only hold the "URL" that leads to another site that contains the picture.
