Posting Photos

[theibis]

Please excuse my lack of computer knowledge, but I'm only used to attaching photos via email. I read the Instructions posted on this site, but I still can't make sense of typing in my "URL" in order to post a photograph. I looked at the properties on certain photos, and I don't see anything resembling a "URL" path. When I use the "Attachment" paperclip icon on the top, I'm able to get into my Photo Folder and upload it. I can't transfer the upload to my Message, however. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

When you post a new thread (or post) on the bottom, click on "go advanced" Then click on "Manage attachments" When the screen pops up, you have four (or five) slots to load a picture. Click on browse and then simply select where the picture is on your hard drive. After you've selected the picture(s), click on "upload" and you're done.

I just tested this method using the above instructions and you should be good to go.
Be aware of the size of your image. You might want to shrink it down to a more manageable size before uploading.

After hitting "upload" and you're done typing a post, hit the "Preview Post" button to see what your post will look like with your text and the newly uploaded pic.

Thanks for the help Dave.

Ralph, another option you can try is to upload your pics to Photobucket.com. You can resize them in that website and then just copy the direct link.
