       How to put photos in your post

       This is something many people feel is daunting about forums
       without image storage capacity, but it's really not that hard...
       Assuming you are working from a regular-size image file, a photo
       taken with your camera or phone, here's what you do step by
       step:
       First, you have to forget that this is difficult. It's simply
       not. You do need to get your head around the fact that you are
       putting a photo onto another site altogether and then using
       what's known as 'image codes' to put that image into your post.
       For image hosting I use Postimage.org, they've been stable and
       free for a long time and have simple step-by-step procedures. So
       you go to Postimage.org (I think you have to register) and then
       create a gallery - though that's not totally necessary as your
       pics will otherwise go into a 'default' gallery automatically.
       Then you click on 'Upload' and get this window:

  HTML https://postimages.org/
       I've shown this with a resizing to 600 x 400 pixels, which saves
       you the trouble of reducing your image. You go from there to
       select your image from your files on your computer and it
       uploads it, with this screen showing:
  HTML https://i.postimg.cc/zDF3CKkg/0221postimageuploading.jpg
  HTML https://postimages.org/
       Then it goes to this screen, from which you click on the icon at
       the end of the line marked 'Hotlink for forums':

  HTML https://postimages.org/
       The word 'copied' appears and then you're ready to paste it into
       your post. Go to where you want the picture to appear in  your
       post, right click and then left click on 'Paste':
  HTML https://i.postimg.cc/HsWnBnSP/0221postimagepastecode.jpg
  HTML https://postimages.org/
       The result comes out like this:
  HTML https://i.postimg.cc/t4YTGfG3/0221postimagestringinpost.jpg
  HTML https://postimages.org/
       And to show how this has worked with a picture of my own using
       the resize option (which I normally don't do as I resize and
       crop all my own pics before posting - but I'm keeping this
       simple):
  HTML https://i.postimg.cc/sfYGTt31/P1010342.jpg
  HTML https://postimages.org/
       This is the string which produces the photo in your post, but
       I've deleted a letter in it so it doesn't work:
       [img width=533
       height=400]
  HTML https://i.postimg.cc/sfYGTt31/P1010342.jpg[/mg]
  HTML https://postimages.org/
