I have worked out a simple way to post photos on our favorite site.
1- Go to Imgur.com and register your username and password
2- Using these, sign into the site.
3- In the upper left corner of the home screen, you will see a box labelled "New Post"
4- Drag and drop your photo into the box- you should see it appear. If you want to add more photos, click "Add Image" below your photo.
5-Click "Grab Link" to the upper right of the photo -a URL will appear.
6-Copy this URL and go to the "message" box of the Steelnavy message into which you wish to insert the photo and click the "image" box below.
7-a box will appear titled "Optional Image URL"- paste the URL from IMGUR into this box and click "Add"
8- The URL will appear at the bottom of your message with [/img] attached to each end.
9- Remove the [/img] from each end.
10- the URL should appear in blue type on the preview screen
11- If you click on this blue URL, you will be taken to the Imgur site with your photo(s) viewable

Thanks, John (I downloaded Jon Iverson's Ford photo to my desktop and used it as an example for this exercise)
