Web host, you rent space on a shared server. It’s cheap.

Do not use free image hosting as it tends to go defunct. The tiny pic and photobucket debacles actually broke the internet. It rendered many older forum posts unusable and much information was completely lost.

FTP, learn to upload with filezilla and how to link to your images.

For extra credit get a domain name so you can link to a real web address (this isn’t 100% necessary).

I'm sending you an email to the address in your profile.

When you do the youtube thing you are just creating a link between your post on the forum and the location on the internet where the video is stored or "hosted", in this case, the youtube computers. When someone opens the page on the forum, the video shows up, but it is only displaying on the forum page, the video is still located on youtube.

This is important to understand because in order to post a picture that is on your phone, you have to move the picture to a location on the internet that will host it so you can create a link from that location to the forum page.

There are many picture hosting websites that will allow you to upload your picture and host it for you. Post image, photo bucket, tiny pics to name a few. Some are free, some are better then others, but the important part is that you need to get the picture from your phone, onto the internet first. After you get your picture on the hosting website it is similar to the youtube thing (that you already can do) to link the picture to the forum.
Start by picking a hosting website and get your picture uploaded to it. Then come back and let us know which hosting service you used and someone will take you through the next step.

The reason it is done this way is because the forum software has to be running on a server connected to the internet and Para has to pay for the amount of room the software takes up. The amount of internet space that pictures would take is HUGE, the space that the videos would take up is astronomical. By doing it this way it keeps the amount of the internet that Para has to rent for us smaller.

See if you can get the IMGUR app on your droid.

If so, then, go to www.imgur.com and establish the Bendable account.

Once that account is setup you can use the app to upload images from your phone to their hosting site on the Web.

Basically you follow these steps:

1) Take the picture
2) open IMGUR app
3) Select the + sign at the bottom of your screen
4) Tap the picture(s) you want to upload to IMGUR
5) Tap NEXT in the top right corner
6) Tap UPLOAD in the top right corner
7) Open the image in the app (it should be open after uploading, unless you upload several)
8) Click Share
9) Click Copy Link
