Can you guys tell me how to post any art I find or make myself? I'm having a really hard time trying to post artwork here. Please help me so I can post artwork.

http://imageshack.us/ Go here and you'll be able to browse and upload things, just copy the top line at the bottom that they give you for forum usage, it should have the right tags already so, you should be able to post from there.

But what if I want to post my art here immediately after scanning it at home? Couldn't I just put up a pair of imagery tags in a later message, put the name of my work between the tags, then when I hit post we would just see it instantly without the use of a link? Let me know if that would work.

You need to upload it somewhere... Images are not just going to be pushed onto the Internet without you posting them. Use Imageshack if you want to show them to us, just copy and paste the tag for the forums into your art thread.

Yeah, you have to upload images, videos, and audio to the web. Any file other than text requires uploading somewhere. The reason I suggest DeviantArt is because it is relatively easy and everyone knows how to use it. Then, you just send us a link. Otherwise, yeah, photobucket, flickr, or some other service.

SFO does not have an attachment system on our forums. Also, since no one used it, the gallery is going to be taken down soon.

The only other option is to host the image elsewhere, sorry.

If you throw the file location between the img tags, it won't work. It needs to be a URL, so the image needs to be on a webserver somewhere.

It doesn't take that long to sign up for an image host.

Just make sure any image linked to or embedded in your post complies with the image policy.

Great news! I'm part of deviantART now! If I understand, to put any of my pictures up there I just scan the picture into my computer, fix the scan so it's how I want it, save the scan as an internet file, go back to deviantART, then post the picture under the same name I gave it as a scan. Is that how it goes?  :?

Pretty much, but remember, you are only allowed to post art you created yourself.
