Posting Pics

[Wood Hick]

What is the procedure for posting pics here, and also, is it possible to do with my lousy dial-up connection? I sure see some cool stuff out there, it would be nice to share some of it. Please use Kindergarden type instructions as I am nearly computer illiterate! Thanks!

You have to resize them first. If you have a photoshop program go into it and then click the image tab at the top. Go to resize and then you can resize to 25-30% is the best. Then you click the attachment tab when you're posting and you can browse for them. I'll let someone else explain how to put them so they show in your post as I dont understand how to do that either.

As mentioned resize to 25%. Loads faster for dial-up folks and keeps the pictures smaller to keep from eating up so much band width.

When ready to post pic.
Left click on paperclip icon at top of "Reply to Thread" page.
Browse to locate resized pic and upload.
Close that box then right click on the new pic address under the attachments at the bottom of the "Reply to Thread" page and left click properties.
Highlight and copy address for the pic.
Close that box and then left click on the Picture of the landscape at the top of the "Reply to Thread" page.
Right click on the highlighted box and hit copy.
"Preview post" to make sure it's what you want then "Submit Reply."

There may be other ways to do this, but this one works for me.

After I upload the picture I double click on the link to bring it up.

Then I right click on the picture itself, and select Properties from the drop down menu.

Then I copy the url onto my clipboard.

Then I go back to my post and add the following without the spaces --

Make sense??????
