So you don't need to email the photo to the group email address??

I have a photo store/share facility on Yahoo, Maybe I can use that

If it's simply to show some DIY image for discussion then just post it
somewhere public and then publish the link to the photo in your
discussion. Tinypic is good as you don't need to sign up or anything
just upload a file of aunder a limit (250kb) and you get a link back
that anyone can view. Really quick and easy.........

You could of course use your own file share if you like.......

Are you sure you are reading about this group and not something like a
Yahoo or MS group?

uk.* are text only newsgroups so photos are not allowed, Worse some
newsservers throw away posts with attachments.

If you want to show something, put it on the web on one of the free photo
places, and post the URL.

will allow them: to see only *new* posts, a killfile, and other goodies.

You just browse for the photo on you computer, add a title if required,
upload, view the photo and copy and paste the link in the address bar
to the discussion......

I dumped my photo on tinypics.com and then tried inserting the given
URL in a post to this news group. But when I previewed the post, the
URL wasn't in blue and underlined. Is this to be expected?

You cannot post pics to a text only server.

That is the right way to do it.

Depends, what did you preview it in?

Some newsreaders will attempt to recognise what could be URLs in the
text and make them clickable, some don't. However it is nothing that you
can control, since it comes down to the software the reader of the
message is using, not the poster.

Tinypic seems easy to use but how do you keep track of what you've
uploaded without registration?

Exactly ...and how can you delete anything you have posted .Presumably you can't
.. I'd use Photobucket and it's the same company anyway
