Just upload them.
Or store them on an external service such as Photobucket and link to them.

And before that a lot of Rover 800s, a few oddities, a lovely Triumph Dolomite 1850HL with Overdrive and way back in my schooldays an Austin Seven aka Mini 850!

Either resize them in Paint and upload or create Photobucket account and upload them there.
When uploaded click on the picture (in Photobucket) and on the right you will have a table with 4 boxes, html, img etc, just click the IMG box and it will automatically save the path to clipboard

Then in the reply window click the yellow square image icon and just press CTRL+V, dont delete anything and you are done

I upload directly to the forum software, from the advanced posting screen which adds them as small thumbnails to the post (manage attachments at the bottom). From there follow the guide posted on here which shows how to actually display them full size.

Much better as an attachment IMHO, for 2 reasons:

1. My computer at work won't allow access to file sharing sites
2. They're often too big to view on a single screen view if embedded for some reason

I agree, but uploading them to website takes obviously some space on the A8parts server and not every forum host likes it, sometimes domain provider puts limit on uploads or additional charges can occur, and for that reasons I don't want to upset anyone with uploading too many pictures for example.

Plus bucket offers you your own online photo gallery accessible at any time and I'm not sure, but not all forums allow uploads due to limits or charges, so this is a perfect solution if you need to share same picture anywhere else.

Direct uploads to the website are much better and quicker, but...
