All images need to be hosted somewhere. They have to be hosted on a sight that allows direct linking of images if you want them to appear in the body of your post rather then as a link. This excludes most of the free ones (Geocities, AngelFire, Tripod).

Once you have the images uploaded some where you just press the insert image button up the top on the Format bar. [img][/img] and insert you URL between the two tags. The same applies to sig images and animated gifs. The thing to remember with sig images is to keep them light, most forum that allow them have limits. The sig image limits of this forum have not been stated so I used the limits of Mega Tokyos Art and Drawing Forum which are.

Max size for sig images 600pix wide, 125pix tall. 35k max.

Hope that helped.

You can post images by using the image tags like http://www.sumea.com.au/simages2/23_robot.jpg

although you have to use square [ ] brackets instead of the ones above.. You have to link to your image, yes.. it can be from your website, or from your uploaded images on Sumea (if you have a profile).. say you upload an image on Sumea called robot.jpg, Sumea puts your member id number in front of it, so it will be called something like 23_robot.jpg.. all images are uploaded to http://www.sumea.com.au/simages2/ so link it from there..

and go easy on the signature images please, for the sake of us on dialup... [:)]

as pantmonger mentioned, some hosts such as mine (3dluvr) dont allow direct linking, so if you've tried all of the above this may be a problem
