I use Photobucket (free)
http://s342.photobucket.com/albums/o433/RPB1/?start=0
if you hold mouse over a picture, it drops down 4 links you can copy paste for what you want to do
you just copy that/paste IMG code into forum ...it already contains the [ img] and [ /img] things in proper place ... so you don't even need to click the IMG button on the forum

RPB's sounds easier than the one I use so I'd try that first.

If for some reason it doesn't work for you, you can try:

http://share.ovi.com/

Once you open your picture on the ovi.com site you need to:

1.) right click on the image
2.) go to properties
3.) copy the url. (it will be long and end in .jpg)
4.) In the Hobie forum- click the IMG button below the subject field
5.) paste your saved url link
6.) click IMG again.
7.) Preview it before submitting and it should be there.

(see what I mean about RPB's being easier :D )

I use Photobucket.com also

very easy to use.

A tip: Use your photo editing software to "resize" your images to 800 x 600 pixels or 6 x 4 inches before uploading to Photobucket or your image hosting site. They will upload much faster and are a perfect size for the forum. You can also select a smaller setting in your camera .. highest quality image settings in your digital camera are usually too big for the forum.

as RPB says at Photobucket just hover pointer over image select IMG code and paste it here and done.
