Without seeing what the rules themselves are, it's hard to see what the
problem is. The postings on imageshack are too small to read.
At the risk of being redundant, I'll re-post (from earlier in this thread)
my "helpful"
instructions (my apologies if I'm missing the point):
------------
To properly upload your image and get the right link, follow these
step-by-step instructions:
Go to <
http://www.imageshack.us/>. There you will see a small, round ³radio
button² called ³upload² just below the orange bar that runs across the page
near the top of the page. It should already be selected (by default). Under
it, there is an oblong button called ³Choose File.² Select that (i.e., click
on it). Once you do that, a drop-down menu will appear that contains the
folders and files on your hard drive. At this point, navigate through the
folders and files on your hard drive until you get to the image file on your
hard drive that you want to upload. Select that file, and then click on the
oblong ³choose² button that appears at the lower right of the drop-down
menu. The drop-down menu will then ³go away,² and you will be back at the
page at <
http://www.imageshack.us/> where you began, and you will see that
next to the oblong button called ³Choose File² that you had selected will be
the name of the file that you just selected from the drop-down menu. Then
simply go down towards the bottom of the page and click on the rectangle
called ³host it!² The words ³host it!² will then change to ³uploading...² as
your file is being uploaded to the ImageShack site. Once uploaded, ImagShack
will automatically open a new page with lots of ³stuff"
on it. On that
page, you probably will see a small copy of the image you just uploaded.
Lower down on that page you will see a bunch of different fields
(rectangular boxes), each containing a URL. To the right of each is a name.
Go to the one that says ³Show image to friends.² Click on the word ³Show² --
it¹s a ³hot link² that activates the uploaded image. Once you do that, you
will (finally) be brought to the page where your image is now located. Copy
the URL that appears in your web browser for that page. _That's_ the correct
URL to use in your newsgroup post.
