Assuming your image is in right format (e.g. .jpg) and size - no wider than 800 pixels.

You can use any image hosting facility, e.g. Tinypic, Photobucket or similar. The following applies to Tinypic, but should be similar with others.

Here is another method for uploading from your hard disc:

Enter your written text to the forum the normal way by a click on "skicka" which means "submit".

Open your entry again. Click on "ändra" which means "change".

Click on "ladda upp bilaga" which means "upload attachment".

"Bläddra" means something like "change directory" and "Bifoga filen" means "Attach the file"

Before upload, remember to adjust the size of your photo. A suitable size for the photo to be properly displayed is a width of 800 pixels. If smaller (less pixels), the picture will just be smaller on the screen in the same relation. If greater, the picture will be wider than the screen and needs scrolling sideways to be seen in total.
