I've been trying to put pictures of two of the Stormbringer series monographs on this post, but I can't figure out how to do it.

I don't know what that means.

I am trying to place a picture from my own pictures file onto the post, but "paste" is not one of my options.[/url]

Ah, well then, that changes things a bit.  Apologies if you already know bits of this:

You're going to need somewhere to host it.  (http://imageshack.us/ is free and doesn't require an account; I suggest using them.)

Upload the pictures to them, and it will give you a bunch of text boxes with labels, including one labelled "Thumbnail for forums (1)".  Copy the text in that text box into a new post on here, and you'll get a clickable thumbnail that leads to the full image.

Hope that makes sense.  I'm not that good at explaining things.
