George posted this useful guide to adding photos to your posts. I thought it might be handy to put it where it can be found easily. *tip* Print these instructions off and keep in a handy place This has helped a few o da members in da past... hopefully it will work for you.. 1. sign on the forum. 2. click which subject you want. 3.put your text in it. 4. hit your return key twice. 5. minimise the forum. 6. log in to photobucket. 7.select which photo you want to paste [ dont click on it ] go under the picture to the bottom heading.. headline it .. then press key ctrl and key C..that copies it.. 8.minimise photobucket.. 9.maximise the forum..and key in ctrl and key V..CHECK THE PREVIEW. if ok press post reply..hope this makes sense..

Stick with it Fred, you'll get plenty support here. Is your picture up on the internet <in Photobucket or similar> or just on your computer?

I have it on my computer, but it is also on "Snapfish" which is where i order my prints from. Can it be that hard, or am i just past it No, it's not hard at all. And the instructions given by Mally at the top of this thread should help but I have gone through the whole process myself step by step as I wrote this and recorded every move I had to make. Please keep trying, once you can do it, you will wonder why you ever found it difficult. I've looked at Snapfish and I am not sure that it is as easy to use as Photobucket. So, if I were you I'd get a PB account. This is really easy: Go to Photobucket site and join. Input a user name and a password. Then follow the instructions to sign up. That will then give you a "page" to put all your pics. On the main page you will see a box - top right - that has three browse buttons. Clicking on a browse button will open a little box on your screen from your files and you will be able to click on your various photo files (they should appear as small images) until you see one you want to put in your PB. From browse take your mouse cursor and double click on your photo stored on your computer. Then click the bar that is labelled UPLOAD. Wait a bit and your pic will apppear as an image on your page. It is then safely stored in your Photobucket. Put a few of your pics in PB Then to post a pic on a thread:Have Photobucket and the forum already open - with PB minimised on your bottom bar. Start your post with your writing Then minimise the forum Maximise PBucket Underneath your pic you will see Email.... Direct... HTML... IMG Left click IMG and you will see that it will be highlighted. IMG will go blue and a yellow bar will apppear that tells you it is copied. Minimise PB Maximise forum Put your cursor where you want your photo to appear under your writing Press control and V together and a code will appear starting and ending with Go to preview your post and you should see your text and pic underneath. I hope this helps you. Let's see some piccies soon.
