Not really. To display a picture, you would need to link to it -- it'd have to be hosted elsewhere.
So, in practical terms, you'd have to take yer picture file (a .jpg or .gif, in all likelihood) and upload it to somewhere like http://www.flickr.com.
Then, once uploaded, you'd have to get its address (right-click on the image, "copy image address" or, if not that, then "view properties," highlight© the URL).
Once that's gotten, you'd stick it on here like so:
It's not actually loaded up here, just displayed on here through a link.
That make sense?
Oh, and one other thing -- this bulletin board software doesn't let you resize images, so make sure whatever file you link to isn't too huge, otherwise it'll make the topic unreadable -- all the text will fall off the right margin, fitting the width of the image.
Oh, oh, and two other thing -- sometimes, the software won't recognize addresses that have colons and other strange characters in them. That shouldn't happen with flickr, but if you're using Google Image searches, that won't work.

Lost In The Crash
I thought computers were meant to make life easier 
Sounds a bit fangled to me but I might give it a try at some point...
It was only that I came across a Serge Gainsborough LP in my shop the other day and the cover was a dead ringer for Since There Were Circles. I think it was from the late seventies. Bob was clearly influential in cover art as well as musically !
Thanks for all the technical info Grant.

....I went to the river and I stood on the shore. I stood in the twilight of the life I had before....
