How do I post photos on the Photo board?
I have down loaded them from my camera and put two onto my desk top which I want to transfer.
Any help much appreciated.

Did you do "Save as"? After that you go on Photobucket and browse. When you find them upload and you will be given the link to post.

Cruiser you can't post photos directly to here from your computer. You first have to put them in a Photobucket account:
http://photobucket.com/
If you haven't got one, it's very easy, it's free, and you can set each album so that the rest of the world can't see it.
Once you want to upload photos from your computer you can just drag them into photobucket.
The way I do it is to have one album labelled 'for posting', so they're all together.
Once your photos are on there, go to the photo you want and on the top right is a symbol, which will give you link options, you want the one 'for forums', the bottom one I think.

All online photo systems will let you post here cruiser.

First you need to upload them. There should be a button for that or, as you say, drag and drop. Usually you have to choose a location for the pictures.

I use picasa and flickr

Once the image is in your online service, you need to copy the link to the file. You then press the Img button on the forum and paste the link, copied form the online service, inbetween the two square brackets ][

Cruiser, I don't drag and drop, I just select "Browse Files" and that brings up picture files on your computer. Just select the one you want and click open and it'll start uploading.
