Well, I can certainly understand your hesitation!!! I knew I'd have forgotten how to do it the next time I needed it so it wrote it down for myself in words of one syllable!! Here it is:
To add photos to a message board you have to put it on the Internet first to get an address (or URL!!) for them. You can use a web hosting site like
www.photobucket.com or your own printer may have one ("publish this photo to the web" or similar in the list of options next to the photos) or DIS has its own:
http://www.wdwinfo.com/photopost/index.php
I found using my own printer's the easiest as my pictures were obviously already there.
When you've got a web address for the photos you need to:
1. rightclick on the photo you want to use
3. properties
4. rightclick on URL address
5. select all
6. rightclick again
7. copy
8. go back to the text where you want to insert the photo
9. type:
with no spaces
Your computer might have a slightly different way of doing it but basically it should work ok.
I had problems with the size (as you may have noticed!!) but the website where you've "hosted" your pictures should have options like" original size" or something similar which will let you use a bigger than thumbnail size. If you use that larger size to do the above procedure you should get a decent sized result.
DIS also has an excellent site with all sorts of help :
