: Can somebody explain to me how to post a picture on this site.
: Please! Be specific, not real computer literate.

Internet Explorer doesn't play nicely with copying/pasting links, unfortunately. Try downloading and installing Google Chrome: http://www.google.com/chrome

It's a little different than Internet Explorer, but the basics are the same. The interface (as we geeks call it) has been moved around a little bit, and the menus changed. Everyone's got their favorite browser... they're like pickup trucks. Dodge, Chevy, Ford, Toyota... they all do the same thing, just differently. I prefer Chrome.

You'll also need to set up an account at some picture sharing site. I use Google's Picasa, myself: https://picasaweb.google.com

Sign up for an account and upload the pictures. You can sort them by creating different albums. The process should be similar to Flicker, or whatever other photo service you mentioned earlier. Then:

1. Go to your "main page" in Picasa by left clicking on the "Home" tab in Picasa if you're not already there.
2. Left click on the album that you uploaded your picture(s) to, that contain the picture you want to share.
3. Left click on the "thumbnail" (smallish picture) of the picture you want to share. That should bring you to the larger version.
4. Right click on the image.
5. Left click on "Copy Image URL".
6. Create your post on the Kayak Forums.
7. Right click on the "Optional Image URL" field.
8. Left click on "Paste".

That should get you done. I tried the above in Internet Explorer just now, but it does not allow me to copy the URL of the image. Google Chrome does, so I'd recommend using it as a browser, at least when you're posting pictures on the Kayak forums.
