Purely as feedback the post below from Hamwich is the one that got me clued up on the picture posting method, albeit not totally head scratching free!

2. Copy the url of the picture to your clipboard. tm-img makes this easy by providing a BB-Code format link in the 'Embed Codes' section
3. Paste the link into your post




In the Help section of this forum and the FAQ on how to post an image it refers to taking a link from your own web page. I would suggest that few people run their own web page but lots use web hosting of pictures. If the answer was adjusted to also include details for taking a picture from a web hosted page including the bit about using the BB code that would have helped me. But now I have done it once I know what to do for next time.
