1.) You have to upload an image to an image hosting site. I use POST IMAGE.
2.) Once you upload the image, you need to copy its location and add the appropriate HTML tags so it will link directly in your FR post. I copy the image location and convert it to HTML over at a website called BASIC HTML EDITOR.
To use it, you merely copy and paste the url of your image into the appropriate space (link, image, etc). You then copy the resultant HTML-coded address into your post and it will appear.
Open a Photobucket account. Download the image from the web or your computer to the Photobucket account. Once downloaded into Photobucket, copy its accompanying HTML code (it will be on the right side of the image) and paste in the FR reply. And voila! Your photo or image will appear!
If some guy recommends that you duct tape the photo to your screen, don’t do it. It’s a trick and the IT guys will hate you for it.
Bkmk
What are the dimensions of the body pictured?
Easy is a matter of opinion. Once you use the html a few times, it get’s easy.

Downfall is, you can’t go back and find the same pic again. It’s a one shot deal but once uploaded, it gives you some url/address options. Use the bottom one for FR.
Now if it’s just an image off the web, you can right click the image, and choose “copy image location” (firefox) or similar.
img src="http://path_to_picture" width="400"It's nice to give it a width in-case its a large picture. Never change the height, just set the width and it will scale correctly. The entire snippet above should be within < > brackets.
I use http://tinypic.com/. I think I use the website size, and I copy and paste the link it gives me. It’s really easy and does all the formatting work for me!
HEY!!!! Why cant I just copy and paste a simple picture into a post? I can do this everywhere else on my iPhone!! Why not here?
