How to post a pic from iPhoto to a forum?

I'm trying to post a picture from iPhoto to a forum that I'm a member of. But, every time I click on their attachment icon it gives me a prompt to enter a URL address. Where do I find this on the photo?

The pictures in iPhoto are only accessible to your computer. In order to share them with everyone, you'll need to upload them to a public server.

There are a number of online services that can host images for you, Flickr, MobileMe, Picasa webalbums are just a few.

iPhoto has built-in upload capabilities for some of those options, so I'd suggest you look into those built-into iPhoto.

Personally I use Ember for forums pics and MobileMe for my personal pictures.

I use either Photobucket or Imageshack.

For me; Skitch - also provides multiple choices for further making pics available and editing.

Skitch.com + Skitch = fast and fun screen capture and image sharing.

I can post a link to my photobucket web page, but how does one have the picture actually show in their post? I can't seem to figure this out.

I had that problem too. If you followed the "What is it?" game thread you would see my struggles and eventual success with some help.
Basically you click on a photo (Photobucket site) and several choices come up. Click in the bottom one and it saves the URL and then you just paste it into your post.

Okay! Now I feel kinda dumb for asking. I tried pasting it in the past but not from Photobucket. Dah!
Thanks for the tip Razormac!!

Don't feel dumb!
It took me four different photo hosting sites and help from our cheerful forum members before I was finally successful. ;P
