Gaz,
You can do this sort of stuff on forums by opening an account (free) at photo bucket:
http://photobucket.com/Then right-click on any image, go down to properties and 'cut and paste' the image properties link.
Then go to photo bucket and where it says down-load image from URL, paste the properties of the photo.
Then look at the photo. You'll have three links beneath it.
Cut and past the IMG (IMAGE) link to a forum and a photo will appear on the forum without having to click on a link.
I'm not very computer literate; and it took me a bit of 'fannying about' to do it.
