anyone help me out with the process you need to follow to post pics in the comments section? I did couple years ago. I think someone had given detailed instructions in one of the topic boards. I'm sure other computer illiterate folks like myself would like to post but don't know how. I'd like to post a few pics. I much prefer when people have the pics show in the message rather then have to click on a link.
thanks for any help you can give

When you post a message click on the "tree" icon in the toolbar. Paste in the URL of the pic... and that's it. To find the URL of the pic you want to post, go to the website where the pic exists, right-click on the pic, and copy the URL from "properties". Example: from today's NY Times, right-clicked on a pic and found it's URL to be:
http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2008/1...2moth-hours.jpg

Even better, upload it to a hosting site like
Imageshack. That way you don't "steal" the original site's bandwidth, and you don't have to worry about the link breaking in the near future.

And I'll plead, again, possibly to no avail but I don't care -- PLEASE DO NOT POST EXCESSIVELY LARGE IMAGES. They skew the size of the page, which means to read other posts you have to scroll back and forth.
