How to upload screenshots?

Question

How do I upload pictures to the site? I saw the <img> tag on a list of basic HTML so I tried:

<img src="C:\TOM Files\downloads\cakephpscreenshot.jpg" />

but it doesn't work. I think adding some screenshots will better help in presenting my questions.

That is a local address, that is that it is only on your machine. Try uploading it to an image host (such as imgur) and linking it that way. — Reese Moore, May 18, 2011 at 1:35

Head to the toolbar on top of the message editor. Press the last button on the 2nd button group with the Image tooltip.

Click it and then press Browse... button to locate the image and then press Upload button.

You click on the little image icon and it will ask you whether you wan to upload to a image hosting site, or to SO directly. Do what you wish.

SO uploads it to imgur.com, an image hosting site, so it doesn't make a difference where you shove it, so it'll display fine from anywhere.

I love the way you can drag and drop like 50 images into the browser window to download. It's quite useful.
