Transfer photo's

[copippin]

Several people on "animals and nature"topic have transfered some super animal pictures in their answers/replies.do the photo's have to be on a website to be shown or can they be shown without a website but direct from "my pictures" on the computer? If the latter option is possible ,how do I do it??!!

If you have the pics saved on your computer I use this..
http://tinypic.com/
Just click on Browse and your pics will come up.. .click on the one you want to use and the site will host it for you and then you can copy and past the link into your post.
Really easy to use ,especially for computer dunces like me !

Most of the pictures posted by users of the Animals & Nature section use the sevices of TinyPic. Just go here:
http://www.tinypic.com/
Click 'Browse'. Locate the picture you want to link to. Double-click on it. Click "Host Picture". If it's a large file and/or you're on dial-up you might have to wait a while. When you get the "Successfully Hosted" message you'll be be given two alternative web addresses which will take viewers to your picture. 'Link' takes viewers to the picture alone. 'Url' takes viewers to the picture on a page that identifies the provider as TinyPic.
To save these links, you've got several methods:
1. Copy and paste into, say, a Word document where you store all such links.
2. Copy, then paste into your address bar, go to the picture and bookmark the site.
3. Click the 'e-mail me this link button' and have the information sent to your inbox.

TinyPic is great for single pictures. If you want entire galleries, look at something like Webshots:
http://www.webshots.com/homepage.html
(There's nearly a quarter of a billion pictures there!).

It looks as if I was typing while Shaneystar was posting. Sorry for the duplication. (I'll have to learn to type faster!).

I am trying to do the same thing, but I must be a bit dim because I just don't get it. I have the pictures I want to use in My Pictures on my computer. I bring up tinypic.com, then I'm lost. HELP!

Sorry to pinch copippin's post but as it was what I wanted to do I didn't want to post the same thing again.
