help. I want to put a scanned item on a message board. I got it to mypictures from scanner but don't know how

Question

to get it anywhere. I tried to copy it to notepad and then go to the forum but it wont copy (just the title copies).

I am very anxious to get this on the forum as I am suffering from a sleep disorder wrecking my health and when I try to explain results, noone understand it and they request the actual graph be scanned and posted for intretation of results.

I can't seem to get the help I need from doctor as he is too busy to explain things and I learned more in 2 weeks from this board han in 15 years of treatment and have gottne more direction and help.

But the people on the board don't understand me when I tried to do a mock graph. or verbal description of layout

Please help as I have suffered greatly over 25 years and from many associated disorders and this is the first time I am getting help and hope from this knowledgeable board.

Please explain how in VERY easy to understand terms as I have little computer knowledge. Thanks so much. How do I get the picture from

mypictures unto a message board forum to post it. Please give step by step advise if this is possible (there is an x in the picture if that helps so it says (I think) it can be done.

Firstly you have to upload your picture from My Pictures into some picture storage website. Got to http://imageshack.us/ and upload your picture there. Browse your picture from My Pictures and click on the host it! Button. Afterwards you will be given a link like this http://........image.jpg if your file is a jpg file. To put it on the board, you have to use the BB Code. Just copy this one and paste it onto the board.

You have to replace http://.....image.jpg with the link you obtain from ImageShack.
