How do i paste a pic i have onto this message board thingy...I'm new so could someone go into a little but of detail?

(img)adress of the image(/img)

replace the ( )
with [ ]

I added the image to my desktop, ut i dont know the adress, does it need to come from a website?

Yes, you have to upload your image, try uploading at http://m00.u13.net .

You can't link a pic from your computer's hard drive. No one (but you and anyone else who uses your computer) has access to your hard drive. So yes, upload it to free file-hosting sites.

I think Imageshack is better, mar77a, when it comes to hosting images.

i like www.tinypic.com

When the new forums come, it will have an avatar hosting

Avatar hosting?...YAY!...this will be a big help

can't wait
