Main problem people have with this, is that they need to get the picture on the web in the first places. Which means something like ftp to their ISP supplied homepage.

ok that gives me two questions

a. if you can already post images on a server then what do you have to write on a message body to get the image on it. i.e, what html or whatever, for example if my message is on

https://www.mydomain/images/me.jpg then how do i show it in a message.

b.

{img}https://www.mydomain/images/me.jpg{/img}

but using [] not {}.

When you post on here you will see "Add an Attachment" you can make any phpbb board do this, but it involves quite a few edits to the core files and database. A web search for phpbb attachment mod will find you the code. You can also get phpbb installs which have some of these mods already done.

The free tools are good, but if you get stuck with them, email me the image webmaster@**remove**downsizer.net and I will do it.
