Default Picture Posting for Idiots

Could someone please give me some guidelines for posting pictures on this forum? Currently when I import a photo it only opens as a small box with a red "x" in the middle and the word "attachment" under it. I see others have the same issue, but other posts open the photo directly in the post. I am using the same photo program I use for another vehicle forum that I have no trouble with. I have attached an example. Thanks for any help you can give. John

I believe this is covered in another thread, but here goes anyways...

1. Host your pics on a hosting website. I use photobucket.com.
2. Copy the image code and paste it into your thread.
3. Chage the [IMG] and [/IMG] to [img] and [/img] and your picture will show up like so...

Is it safe for me to assume that there is an issue with posting pics - that the site is awaiting an update? I've never utilized another picture storage site - have always gone camera to PC to forum. thanks.
