When you REPLY on the thread you are posting to and have entered your text:

Scroll down to "additional options" and click the "manage attachments" .

Use the "Browse" to find the pic on your computer you want to upload, then click "Upload"

When the icon shows that it has found your pic and uploaded it, click on "close this window"

Now, when you click on "send", your pic should appear under your text.

Pics need to be less than 100 kb in size and pref in .jpg or .gif format

Posting more than one pic in the same reply will usually not show the actual pics, but links to each of them

You'll need some kind of photo-editor or other application which will enable you to

(a) reduce the size of the picture as viewed on the screen and/or
(b) reduce the file size by compressing the pic or using a 'save for web' function, depending on the program used.

Check windows explorer to see what the current size is.

If you don't have any such thing, you can send it to me at

pidgie@globalnet.co.uk

and I'll fix it (but not til this evening UK time)

I also use my webshots album on some very large pictures. I will load a pic I like to my webshots album where it is reduced in size, save it back to my picture file and from there upload on the forum.

This helps reduce those very large pictures to under 100 kb's. Sounds like alot of work, but it is not.
