Overview
The forum.iburncorn.com forum does not host images. To show images with your forum compositions, you must first upload your images to an external server such as Photobucket. Then, you need only paste the image's url into your message with the url flanked by the [IMG] and the [/IMG] tags without blank spaces. For convenience, Photobucket provides the tags and url for you in a ready to copy & paste IMG Code. The following are detailed instructions for presenting images in your forum messages using Photobucket.
First sign up for a free account from Photobucket at http://photobucket.com .
Procedure
{1} Log in to your Photobucket account at http://photobucket.com/ .
{2} Save your picture to "My Pictures" (or any other convenient folder)
in your computer scaled to the size you prefer to post them in.
{3} Go into Photobucket and on the Image selection, select
browse, select the picture in your computer.
{4} Enter a description, if you wish, in Photobucket.
{5} Select Submit and a thumbnail of the image will appear below.
{6} Put your cursor over your newly-uploaded image in Photobucket.
A menu will appear, showing Img Code unique to your image.
{7} Copy the Img Code by selecting its complete contents then
pressing Ctl-C.
{8} Go into your "post a reply" on the forum and paste the Img Code
directly into the "Message body" by pressing CTL-V. The Img Code
will look something like this [IMG]http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/etc[/IMG]
with no blank spaces permitted between the [IMG] and the [/IMG] tags.
{9} Preview or submit your "Post a reply".

Image Sizing
According to Tallcorn: "I take the pictures at 31.556X23.667 inches on my digital camera. ... If I want to send them as attachments or load to photobucket I reduce them to a more managable size. Photobucket has a way to change the image size but make sure your photo size is large when you load it because the resolution goes down if you make a small image larger. The only problem with "big" image sizes is they are very large files and take more storage space, or bandwidth and time to send/receive on the Internet."
According to Waterboils: If your pictures are coming out too small or too large, select more options in the photobucket Upload images & videos menu. You will then be given the More Upload Options menu that will permit you to choose the image size as shown here.
