    The result you want:

    #1 - Drag your image from iPhoto to the desktop

    #2 - Go to servimg.com (setting up an account is free and only requires an email address)

    #3 - Don't hit the advertisement's "Download" "Play Now" or the "You have 1 new message" crap

    Click on "upload" (left side). Then click "Choose File". A "choose file box will appear".

    Drag the image from the desktop to the "choose file" box

    Click 'Choose"

    Why not just use the 'Host an image' button?

    Thanks Scott. Ya know, I did that once and I believe it had me open an account. That's the way I figured it out and haven't used the button since.

    If you use the 'host an image' button, you won't get those tricky advertisement things.

    Playing with it now I find I can't get the pop-up window to leave the reply box.

    On Apple computers clicking 'Copy' only highlights the text, then you either right-click on the text and choose Copy from the pop-up menu, or press the 'Apple Key' + 'C' at the same time.

    You can then Paste in the next step either by right-clicking in the window and choosing Paste from the pop-up menu, or press the 'Apple Key' + 'P' at the same time.


    This post above is the only hitch I had with using my Mac. Sometimes to get the window out of the way I have to choose the color or face icon at the top, then click Preview to loose the next pop up. I guess I've done it so many times I do it without thinking. I don't think I ever had to open an account though.

    It's really just a matter of using what works best for each of us.

    I was thrilled to be able to finally post pics. Another forum I'm on will let you post a pic as an attachment, but sometimes it's a pita, so I always use the hosting method instead.

    I believe servimg.com doesn't have a limit to the number of pics you can host there, but you can only upload one at a time. I've also had issues where if I'm posting a bunch of pics at a time, some of the pics don't download correctly.

    Photobucket is much much more user friendly, but I've lost pics on there.

    BTW Scott, thanks so much for teaching me the Command+shift+4 thing. It's come in very handy Smile
