    Try logging in to one of your other sockies that is more PC savvy and do it on there?

    Or is that not what you are suggesting?
    As b0redom says, that shouldn't work

    I stick stuff on my own site and link to that, but a free image upload service is a good alternative if you don't have that option. If it's an image on another site such as a news site or an artist's portfolio, you can also try linking to it directly, but a lot of sites don't like that and will block it.

    eg

    "That won't work unless you've opened your home PC to the world (which would be a bad thing)" which is what I'd deduced.

    The best you can do is to embed it using the URL (i.e. link) of the image: use the image button up in the toolbar to provide the URL or, if you're using a non-WYSIWYG version of the editor, use the embed code directly, e.g.[img]http://www.nickfitz.co.uk/images/cuk/miscellaneous/cuk-image-button.jpg[/img].
