Below and to the left of the "submit" button is "upload attachment" Your pic needs to be less than 500kb and on your computer. once it is uploaded it is on your post, and go ahead and hit submit.

If picture is too big on your computer, you can use the "paint" program on windows to resize it. Generally about 40% works. Experiment a bit and then save your resized pictures in a "forums" folder so you still have your original also.

I understand that the image needs to be 500kb.
What I don't know how to do is put the image under my user name. Like the guy with the dry cell battery on your posts.

Oh, I mis-understood. That is called your avatar. Click on your user control panel on the upper left, and go to Profile, then edit Avatar, and uplaod a pic, it can only be 6KB however, so will remain small. I never bothered.

John, Mine was done by the original fellow who set up the Forum. Jim Hadfield. I just never changed it, since we changed out the software in December of 2012.
