For 99% of you, this is a stupid question, but when I want to post a pic or two, it always asks for my URL. What is that? No other site ever needs that to post a pic. How do I do this?

After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.
I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.
For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.
From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.
Sincerely, Jeff D.

URL would be where the pic is located, like http://www.mywebsite.com/picture.jpg

In other words, you need to upload you picture to a site (like photobucket.com ), then you can add the URL / web addres to your post (if you want to show the picture in your post). You can also go down to "Manage Attachments" when you are making a post (it's towards the bottom of the screen) if you want to upload an image directly to Stormtrack. We didn't used to allow this, so it may be disabled in the future (since you'd be using Stormtrack server space to save a file of yours). You're best bet is to upload it to one of the free picture hosting sites, then use the
tag (obviously, you'd use the specific address/URL for the picture you want to show).

I always use http://www.tinypic.com. After you upload your image it'll give you three codes; one IMG code, one HTML code and a link. Just copy that link to a new thread/post.
