First your picture(s) must already be somewhere on the internet. You must be able to view
your picture by typing in its URL ( http://mywebsite.com/mypicture.jpg ). If you can view it,
you can post it in your message.
First start a new message. Then in the message put:
[image]http://mywebsite.com/mypicture.jpg[/image]
where the http part points to your picture.
Be careful not to include any spaces
before or after the [image] tags.
If you want an image in your signature, edit your profile (under the Preferences link)
and put the [image] tag in your signature. Please keep your signature image to a height of 75 pixels or less.
That's all there is to it. Just be sure the web site you are viewing your picture from
is accessible by everyone. Some online photo albums require a userid/password. If you ever
had to enter one to put your picture online, make sure no one else does to view it. Test it
from another browser, not your own, as a cookie may have been set to identify your browser.

First off you can setup your profile so no one except the system administrator can see your email address.
We are very big on personal privacy here at the SitStay.com. We won't sell or give away your
email address! When you edit your profile you decide which forums you want to subscribe to.
Once you subscribe to a forum, you'll receive daily "digests" of the activity in that forum
for that day. You control what you see. If you don't subscribe to anything in your profile or
ask for replies from your forum messages, you won't get any email from us you haven't ask for.

Simple answer: "NO".
More complex answer: Once you create your Userid and edit
your Basic Profile you'll see you can use two email addresses. The real email address
is used for email notifications and forum subscriptions. You need to use a valid
email address for this one. No one but the system administrator will see this address.
The other email address is what other discussion board users see when they
view your profile. You don't have to put anything in here if you don't want to.
Pretty nifty isn't it!?

Yes. Registered users may send each other messages that only the recipient
can read. These are contained within the forum system and you don't need to
know another user's real email address. After you login, click on the Private
Messages link from the menu. From this area you can send Send Private Messages

You can click on any of these to change the order in which the posts are sorted and displayed.
If you click on Subject once, it will display posts by Subject in reverse alphabetical order. If
you click on it again it will display posts by Subject in alphabetical order. Poster and Posted
on works similarly.
