• Click reply and scroll down to bottom of text box.
• Click "go advanced" add text to message window and then scroll down.
• Click "Manage attachments" A separate window will pop up.
• Click "browse" Then select the file to be uploaded. Be sure that the photo is appropriately sized. 620 x 620 pixels (or smaller) and no more than 100K. Forums software will automatically reduce the size, but smaller size photos will upload much faster. You may select several photos to upload at the same time by repeating the last step.
• Click "Upload" After pics have loaded close the pop-up window
• Click "submit reply" to mount the text of your message - photos will automatically appear at the bottom of your post.

About attachment storage limits

When you upload a copy of an image file (or other attachment) it is stored on our servers. There are some restrictions on how much data can be stored.

Registered members are limited to 50 MB of attachment storage for items posted to threads and posts and 100 MB for files posted to the photo gallery. We highly recommend that you reduce file sizes before uploading them to posts and threads.

Contributing members have unlimited attachment storage for threads and posts. A contributing membership is an annual commitment. If a contributing membership reverts to a standard account, loaded images will still remain, but if you have exceeded the storage limits of a standard member account (50 MB), you may be unable to load more attachments. And remember ... all images loaded to posts (regardless of your membership status) must meet the size requirement above. If they are larger, they will fail to load.

How to embed an image stored on another site:
You can do this by using image tags. Upload the image to a service like imageshack and then copy the URL of the image and put that between [IMG] tags. That will work well, as long as the host site stays in business and doesn't disable your image for overuse of bandwidth etc.

You can also paste in the location of a photo stored here in a photo gallery.

To do this: Paste the url of the image into your post. Then add the following code on either side of the url (with no extra spaces):

[IMG]url here[/IMG]

The image will appear where the url was in your text.

Dirk, Thanks for the explanation. My only problem with uploading my photos is that they are too large. How do I re-size them?

clifftall- What operating system do you have? I still use Microsoft's "image Resizer" found in the Power Toys area of Microsoft... but it may not work on your system. I believe Picassa has an image resizer included in it.

Nicely done, Cliftall!! You can also do it another way ifthe photo is in the photo gallery here... Right click on the big photo - go the Properties and copy the URL that is listed in Properties. You would then click the "yellow square with mountans in it and paste the URL in that...click OKAY and the photo is now in the post.

Just for information, there is a program called IRFANVIEW. You can search for it by name, and download it. It has been around for years and is a great graphics program. It will resize, and do a lot of other things. Nice thing is, it's free. Donations accepted.
