Including photos in threads
I mentioned in another thread that I use a free account at Photobucket.com, which is an image hosting site and is especially suited to showing your photos on forums.
The reason for signing up for a free account at Photobucket.com (or any other free image hosting site) is that you can store pictures that you want to share with others in your threads. An example is how I'm storing (as of today) my avatar (that's my picture to the left that gets shown on all my posts).

I think that showing pictures in posts can really add to the enjoyment of the forum experience.
One piece of advice that is good to heed. Try to keep images no wider than about 640 pixels, or else it makes threads hard to read for people using small resolution monitors.
