4. Find this little image button

==================
13. Now, you're not a Full Member. To be able to post pictures you need to have access to a Photobucket account, or other host to store your pics.

DO NOT USE PHOTOBUCKET - They no longer support posting photos to forums, its been big news in July 2017
DO NOT USE IMGUR - Their small print states clearly they do not want to be used to host photos for forums, July 2017 they still allow linking, but for how long...?
(drop me a PM if you know more
)
14. You got yourself an account (I use photobucket, so that's what I use in this 'How to').
Click 'From URL'
You'll get the following pup up:
15. Enter the URL (location of you picture on the internet, it's own web address. Normally looks like this (in photobucket): http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v644/ahjno/4Insertimagefromurl.png
It always ends with: .jpg or .jpeg or .png or ... (etc).
16. UNTICK the box. This is important, otherwise your pic will show up in miniature.
