Here are some quick instructions for anyone who may be having trouble with posting photos in the Forums.
First, turn on your computer....... oh maybe I don't need to go back that far with the instructions
Where was I? Oh yes, first you need to take notice of the "post message" screen.
Just above this text box it has an address bar, followed by a Browse button, followed by a Host It button.
To add a picture to your post, all you need to do is click on the Browse button and find your photo on your computer.
Here you can see that I have located my picture file on my desktop and clicked on the "Open" button. Your photo location will show up in the Address Bar as you will see that mine did in this picture.
Then click on "Host It". A new window will open and display the Image Shack Image-hosting service.
The photo that I selected is displayed on the right. Make sure that you click on the "full Image" selection as I have done. Then click on "Add to Post".
The link to the Hosting site and your photo shows above in the text box.
If you click on "preview" under this text box and right next to "Spell Check", lol, you should be able to view your picture in your post.
And there you go, you have successfully posted a photo in the Forums. One thing to take notice of though is the size of your pictures. Try to keep them down in pixel-size for width. That way they will be easier to see on the Forum Post Page.
Don't get discouraged right away if your photo does not display as it should. Sometimes Image Shack does not upload successfully and all you need to do is Browse and Host it again. Make sure that you delete out the written address, (![]()
