Posting Pics

[Samba]

Hello all, I've been having a most frustrating time trying to post pics in threads. I don't know how to resize, make an ART file into a JPEG or BTMP, or post multiple pics at the same time. I also don't know how to post pics that I've found online (there are a few I'd like to share!) Any basic and *simple* explainations would be very much appreciated. (I guess that I should also mention that at this time, I'm not particularly fond of uploading the pics into my gallery and then using a link on a thread so people can see them... I went to my last post and was dismayed that I had to go through a whole process instead of just seeing the friggin pic!!!! It's making me crazy and I think it would deter others from wanting to see my pics!) Anyways, I hope to get some good hints from you! Thanks is advance =)
