Hello everyone!
 just want to create a Story, but I can't put the Images in the post, I'm using the ASCII draw.
I will need to host?

Yes, you will need to find someplace to host the images.

www.tinypic.com is a good free one.

Please be sure to check your eventual image solution for pop-ups, as there are plenty of free image hosting sites that do not use pop-ups or inappropriate advertising.

To use a screenshot:

1) Take the screenshot by pressing alt-printscreen, paste it into MS Paint (or GIMP or Photoshop if you have one, which preserve quality better) and save it as a .png file.

2) Upload it to Tinypic or Photobucket. Tinypic is faster, but Photobucket is better for long-term storage. Imageshack is also similar to Photobucket, but I don't like it much.

3) Copy/paste the IMG link into the message entry box here. Put it in spoiler tags if it's large.

I'm personally a user of Bayimg.com for quick photo uploads. Hosted by the Pirate Bay guys.

I hate that service where they print ''Share this image on Twitter''. I think it was Tinypic or Imageshack, can't remember.

Also, yes. Bayimg is nice, thoug I use Photobucket instead just because I already have an acc there.
