^^ he has a photobucket account.
click on one of his images and you'll see how easy it is. once the photobucket page loads, click on the "IMG" text area on the right. it will copy the code to your clipboard. now "paste" it into your reply area on PA where you want the photo to be.
it will put the code in your reply area that looks like this:
--- Code: ---[URL=http://s677.photobucket.com/user/benjamineble/media/Holy%20Grail%20Outre%20Passe/test%2017/h.jpg.html][IMG]http://i677.photobucket.com/albums/vv135/benjamineble/Holy%20Grail%20Outre%20Passe/test%2017/h.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
--- End code ---
do as many as you want.
of course you'll have to set up an account on photobucket to upload your own images to ;)

Leon, when I hit attachments it says Restictions 4 per post, what difference would it be wether I have photo bucket or someother acct. I am not real computer savy but 4 seems to me to mean 4. Just saying :o Bob

^^ the forum application that PA uses doesn't consider it an attachment; because it's not.
it is very smart for there to be a limitation on the amount of "attachments" you can use in a single post because these "attachments" tax the web server and can slow down the PA forum. to compensate for this, the website owner would have to pay for more drive storage and more bandwidth too keep up with the storage and bandwidth demands.
now if you use Photobucket, it's merely a link to a different file server outside of PA. therefore it is not stored on PA's server space nor does it use PA's bandwidth to display the images. it's actually easier on the PA server because all of the work to display the images will be done by Photobucket and your browser. so you can use as many as you'd like.
some forums don't allow "attachments" and force you to use services like, Photobucket, TinyPic, Google+, etc.
on the flip side, some sites don't allow you to 'link' to images located on their server because it can cost them additional money.
oops, didn't mean for that explanation to be that lengthy.

Bob,
He is not using the attachments. He is just copying and pasting the IMG address into the text.
