First of all you need to have your photgraph 'hosted' somewhere. For the purposes of the monthly competition you can just have it uploaded to a log on the geocache where you took the photo.

 

Once you have the photo attached to a log you need to get the URL for the photo: Go to the log, click View Images and then click on the photo to view it on a separate page. Then you've got its URL at the top, which will look something like

http ://img.geocaching.com/cache/log/617ade5a-6300-44b8-832f-f89eecc9af2f. jpg

 

To put the photo into your forum post you click Reply in the usual way, then above the text box click on the tiny tree icon. This opens a little box - copy/paste the photo URL into the box, and click "Insert image".

 

That will put its detail into the text box, looking something like

[ img ]http://img.geocaching.com/cache/log/617ade5a-6300-44b8-832f-f89eecc9af2f.jpg[ /img ] (Without the extra spaces)

 

Then just add your caption/text to say a bit about it and which cache it was.

 

Then you can click 'Preview Post' to see what it all looks like. And 'Add Reply' when you're happy with it.

 

Hope that helps. Ask for more details if you don't understand any of that. :)
