Hi!

Can anyone tell me in plain English how I can get a picture into my posts. I must be fat-fingering something, because I can't get it to work.

Thanks ya'll.

Did you read the instructions in the photo forum? Did you try a test in the photo forum and leave it so we can see where you might be going wrong?
 
Posting Images in forums:

Step One

1) Start by uploading your picture to a web host for pictures (photobucket, cqbarms.com, others)
2) Next go to the picture you want to post in the forum.
3) Make sure it is full size
4) Right Click in the middle of the picture.
5) A menu will pop up, Left click on PROPERTIES.
6) Another menu will pop up.
7) Highlight the Address: URL: should look similar to this: http://cqbarms.com/photos/albums/userpics/10025/222AIrem.jpg
8) Right click on the highlight
9) A menu will pop up and Left click on COPY.
10) Close this window (menu) by clicking on X in upper right hand corner.

Step Two

Now go to the Forum and thread that you want to post your picture to.

1) Click on REPLY or NEW THREAD or where ever you are posting the message.
2) Put your cursor in the message window where you want the picture to appear.
3) Now look for the IMAGE command, may be an icon or the word.
4) Click on it and a window will appear: USER PROMPT.
5) With http:// highlighted Right click on the highlight.
6) Now Left click and choose PASTE from the menu.
7) Click on OK

Now you will see something similar to this in your message box.
