Maybe this will help. It was originally posted by Timgod in the tutorials section. Looking forward to seeing pictures of the new grandbaby.
If it is on the net then do the following. You will not be saving the picture. You will just put a link to where it is located on the net. To do that, follow these steps...
1. Find the picture you want to put on the forum.
2. Right click the photo.
3. Select properties in the options box that pops up.
4. Select the address:URL and copy the location information...it will look like this...
http://thumbs.ebaystatic.com/pict/1600758896198080_2.jpg5. Come to your reply in the forum. Click the insert image button below the button for Bold text under the subject and Message Icon headings at the top of the message. The button looks like this.
6. After you click the insert image button it will automatically be blinking your cursor between the img tags.
7. Paste the link address to the pic you want to post.
8. It will appear in that spot in your message. You can hit the preview button below to test the picture is working before posting.
If it is on your computer, then you must first be able to find the picture with windows explorer. Once you know where it is on your hard drive it is very easy. Follow these steps...
1. Start your reply or posting for the forum.
2. Look below the text box where you type your reply. See the Blue "+ Additional Options..." text. Click the plus sign.
3. It opens an additional options menu. Click the browse button. That will open a window to browse your hard drive and find the picture you wish to post. It will usually open to the last place you saved something. It will not always open to the same spot so you need to be comfortable with searching your hard drive.
4. Once you find the picture, click on it to select it. Click open if necessary. If you preview it at this point, it will not show because when you finish with your post it will then upload the file from your computer.
5. If you wish to add more than one picture, click the blue (more attachments) to the right of the browse button and find them the way you found the first.
6. Pay close attention to the fact that you can only post up to 4 attachments in one post or reply. Also make sure they are 200 Kb or less in size each. If either of these rules are violated the forum will automatically block your pictures.
By uploading from your computer, your images will be below your text. If you have the need to put up more than 4 pictures, just post another reply and add them in that reply.
