Ok. As I stated about a week ago I am very new to this. I've never participated in a forum and posted pics, so I don't know how to go about it. Do I need to get an account with a picture host and post links? Do I post directly to this site? If there is a thread about this already please link it and I'll go read it. I looked but didn't find one. I'll post some pics as soon as I learn how too, then ya'll can rip me apart. Thanks for the assistance.
how do i post pics?

Thought that there was a note of it in the sticky threads, but didn't notice anything.
I personally use Flickr, but your choice of image hosting should work just as well. I'll start with the forum pictures. When you're writing a post, there's a little square icon with four small dots in the corner that looks like a picture. You'll have two tabs, one from loading it up from your own computer (which becomes a picture on CMON; not sure that it is editable as much so you'll need to have it the way you want it to look) and the other one for inserting the link to the web address of the image you're trying to show. Easiest way for the hosted image is to right click on the image, select view image, then copy the web address from there. Either way, fill out that little two tabbed window when posting, and it should pop in.
Now if you're trying to post something in your gallery, that's a different process. From the CMON main page, top right is My Pictures. Clicking on that link goes to the web form where you can then submit your final images for everybody's voting pleasure.
Funnily enough, just realized I don't like to have CMON host my forum pictures, but do want it to host my gallery picture. Strange.
