Due to a few questions about posting pictures to the forum, I jotted done a little guide in the Testing Forum to help those who might need some assistance. Here's the link.

Make sure that the picture address is valid, but keep in mind that some sites(Yahoo Photos and West Marine to name just two) periodically have server difficulties and when they do, instead of a picture you will just get the red "X" box. While composing your message, if you can see the image when doing a "preview", then it should work correctly when you post it.

Shelby, I do not think you got it<img src=icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle> Try shutterfly.com to post your pics, just set up an account and there you go, if you need help email me at ssteakley@austin.rr.com and I will help, Steve
OK thanks Steve...I think I got it now! Switched over to shutterbug and they are posted again. Yahoo appears to be a little flakey<img src=icon_smile_dissapprove.gif border=0 align=middle>.
Shutterfly tells me my cookies are not enabled and will not store my pics....HUH??? How does one enable their cookies??? How did I dis-enable my cookies???
If you are using IE, try Clicking on Tools, Internet Options, then there should be tabs in the opened panel, select Privacy. On my version there is a bar (<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_evil.gif border=0 align=middle>) which you can set to the level of access by those who want to play with your cookies or add cookies <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>. I have mine set to medium and seems to work ok for me.
As Shelby hinted, enabling cookies depends on the browser (or internet service provider?) you use. Here is what AOL tells me about enabling cookies ... maybe it will help:
