Default posting pictures in body question

How do I post pictures into the body of a thread? I have the pictures on my pc, but not hosted by picassa or photobucket or the such. Is this possible?

I have a write up on steering wheel control lights with pictures that I would like to share, rather than just attaching thumbnails.

Thank you

BTW, I am a complete novice with this!

paperclip = attach picture

when posting, there should be a PAPERCLIP on the little menu over the posting window .. click on it and follow the road.

if you dont see it, go to the options menu and set your preferences

click attached pics

i think that is the best one can do here .. you get an A+ ...

tthe reason that we want pics in body is when using the quote, the pics also come with the quote.

for big pics. you need to up'l to photobucket or one such host and then hyperlink them.
