First off, you can either host your photos on a photo hosting site like the myswag gallery or Photobucket or similar.  Then you just post the link to your photo into your post.  There's a button up above the text box under the "Bold Text" button to insert an image.

Or the easiest way is to just attach them to your post.  But your photos need to be small (in kb terms).  So either take them on a low resolution setting or resize them.  I like this free program http://www.irfanview.com/  for resizing.  Go to "Image" and "Resize/Resample" then choose "640x480 pixels" which seems to work well for myswag.  OK, last step, under the text box there is "Additional Options".  Click on that and under "Attach" browse to where your photo is located on your computer and attach it.  When you hit "Post", the photos you have attached will be at the bottom of your post.  Maximum of 5 photos.  If you have more, hit "Reply" again and attach them.

Let me know if you need help

Is there anyway to post photos from an IPad?

I have never been able to. I tried that website as mentioned above, but it doesn't work with iPads.

That is what I use at home. My wife has a standard size iPad. I have the mini. We don't have a regular computer at home.

We use the wifi for the net and printer.

Photo buckle is your friend people. Get an account, upload from any device, will do an auto resize to what you want then copy and parse the IMG code into the reply box.

It worked!!!!!

I used a free app called "simple resizer". Seems to be idiot  and straight forward (it worked for me)

And follows KB's instructions.

Works a treat. Beats messing about with uploading photos to a server and inserting links
