Took some pics the other day but have only got around to posting them today.

Mick, I created a word document that tells how to easily make images to come into our forum, it uses ImageShack. For what it is worth, read the below stuff and it may help you to get some images in for us to see, sometimes it is hard to firstly get the images in, but once you figure it out, it is very simple. Good luck, would love to see your pictures, have that great, wonderful day, health. Cindi

If you still have trouble you can PM me the link too the photo and I would gladly post it for you. Ken
These are the instructions that can be copied into the forum or you can go into the topic in the forum, listed above.
OK, first, download the pictures onto your computer? I guess I should have asked that firstly.
Thumbnails are preferred for picture posting, as many people do not have cable and only have dial-up, which can take a while. But you can resize your images to under 100kb, which is suitable for picture posting and you can post in full size images, but the method is slightly different. I will desribe each method.
Thumbnails:
Go into the forum and create a post.
Type some text just to get it going.
Below the text box you will see a field that is blank and beside is the "browse" button.
Click on browse
This will take you to your computer
Find where you stored your picture
Click on the picture name
And then choose "open"
The picture data information will appear in the window to the left of the "browse" button, it designates where the picture is located on your computer
Below the "browse" button and find the words "Host it"
Click on host it and you will enter the "Imageshack" software that will come up in a screen
It should show your picture in there.
Above your picture you will see several links to forum 1 or 2 etc (these are for using thumbnails.
Click "hotlinks to forum 1", this highlights the line, it will turn blue
Click on it, then do the right click to copy the picture
Close the imageshack (you know, click the X on the top right of screen)
Now go back to the place where you typed your text and where you want the image to be placed, right click again to paste your picture
You're basically done. Each picture that you want to post in this post you will have to go manually into image shack. I have tried to do multiples, but it goofed up on me, you probably can, but I couldn’t figure it out. Good luck
Full sized pictures -- for those that have resized their pictures to under 100 kb and prefer not to use thumbnails, but full sized pictures.
First, you must have a good image resizer program. Do you use one? I will assume you know what this program does.
I would suggest you go into a site called "VSO image resizer". That is what I use to resize my images to send into the forum, it is very very user friendly and fast. So, do that first, unless you have a good image resizer program.
On my desktop I make a folder for my forum pictures. I copy a picture from a file into the folder and then proceed with the image resizing. It just makes it simple to find the pictures that way, instead of looking all over the map each time I want to upload a picture. That is my first step. Then I resize the picture. Resize them to 640 X 420 (or whatever it is, something similar). You will see your pictures will probably be resized to between 40 to 100 kb, these should upload easily.

Above your picture you will see several links to forum 1 or 2 etc, ignore these, they are for thumbnails
Below your picture you will see two lines regarding the posting to forum 1 and forum 2
You want to select the first line "hotlinks to forum 1", highlight the line, it will turn blue
Click on it, then do the right click to copy the picture
Close ImageShack (you know, click the X on the top right of ImageShack)
Now go back to the place where you typed your text and where you want the image to be placed, right click again to paste your picture
Before you post your post, you should preview it. That will show exactly what your post will look like with the picture inserted.
