If the ten post rule exsists, here goes!

NO! Ten posts is not required. Just go to the forum you want to post in (e.g., Austin Healey or Spridgets) then post a message as normal. Below the text edit window you will notice a series of check boxes. One of the checkboxes says "I want to preview my post and/or attach a file"
Check that and then when you click the continue button you will be presented with the opportunity to upload an "attachment" from your computer. Once you have selected the picture you want, click the continue button again and your post will be added and there will be a link in the header. If people click that link they will see your picture.
IF you want the picture to be visible within the post (without needing to click the attachment link), then you need to use the Image tages like this:
<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>[image]https://www.yoursever.com/pictures/yourpicture.jpg[/image]</pre><hr />
You can either enter the code directly, or click the <u>Image</u> link in the Intant UBB Code section below the text edit window. This will cause a window to pop in in which you enter the ENTIRE URL of the image you want in your post.
IF you don't have your picture on a server already, you can add it as an attachment as previously discussed, then view the attachment and copy the complete URL of the picture as it is on THIS server. THEN, edit your post and add the Image tags with the complete URL as described.
Please note that there is a size limit on images uploaded as attachments. Best to make them no more than 600 pixels wide with file size less than 200k.
