Eric the Red,
Actually, was already at that link when I was trying to figure out what BBCode was. Didn't think the "posting images" part applied to LzD.
I thought people's images came from their computer...now I get it. They have their own websites that they link to, or know some site w/ the image.
All my images are on my puter.
I had a cute image of Frosty's baby picture that I was going to post in the Lounge. Oh well. :(

ripley,

No problem. You just need to sign up with an image hosting site, Graphics knows of a good one which I can't remember; personally I use Photobucket. Once you have signed up you can upload your images and make them available publically or to selected persons by using the BBcode img tags. :)

Kinda off topic in this thread, but I got my first pix posted in the Lounge. PhotoBucket was alittle overwhelming, so I went on to yoxio, and it was pretty simple. Pix posted was alittle big...I'll look into how to reduce image sizes. Thnx numbnuts.

Back at a crossroads people w/this new XP SP2 system. Since McAfee was preinstalled as a trial, I updated the A/V & firewall and had that active while all got all my Windows Critical Updates...except the one I'm waiting for on Jan. 10th!
Also have Counterspy, AdAware SE, HJT, Spybot w/ Tea-Timer and SpywareBlaster active. Have Ewido on CD but haven't installed it yet.
Also have Avast A/V on CD and want to install it and loose the McAfee A/V.
Can I just disable the McAfee A/V and do the install of Avast and when I get Avast configured and running then uninstall the McAfee? Or should I uninstall the McAfee first? And then install Avast?
Also, I can uninstall the McAfee A/V separate from the McAfee firewall right?
Was going to take Mitch's suggestion and do the A/V first, and then download ZoneAlarm, w/ the McAfee FW active thru the process.
I guess I have the same questions for swapping McAfee FW for ZoneAlarm...disable McAfee FW, install ZoneAlarm, then uninstall McAfee FW and that Secuirty Center thingie that comes w/ it. In my Add/Remove Programs there are 3 McAfee Programs listed:
McAfee Secuirty Center
McAfee Anti-Virus
McAfee Personal Firewall Plus

Remember, I'm on a snail paced dial-up.

What ya think?

Uninstall first, then install the new one right after the uninstall.

Just in case you don't already know....

Go to your Control Panel, click the Add/Remove Programs, find the McAfee, highlight it and uninstall it. Same with the FW
