posting pictures
__________________________________________
If so, it is easy. There are TWO different types of pictures that can be posted here on this forum. The FIRST is to post a picture that is located SOMEWHERE on the internet. Pictures on the internet must be posted in the form of a "URL". Any time you want to post a URL, you are going to begin the process by using the SQUARE, YELLOW icon in the upper border with MOUNTAINS (
). A "URL" is that "http://www.........." identifier that everything POSTED ON THE INTERNET will have showing at the very top of your screen display.
Any time you wish to post a picture that you have stored on your computer, you must begin the process by using the small PAPER CLIP icon located in the TOP MARGIN (
).
Not ALL "REPLY" windows offer BOTH of those icons to work with. You MUST begin your POST, or REPLY to a post in a window which has BOTH of these icons available in the TOP MARGIN.
There are FOUR sure-fire ways to bring-up a window which has BOTH icons available to use in the TOP MARGIN.
FIRST WAY: When you begin a new thread, you must use the BLUE, "START A NEW THREAD" button (
), located at the upper, left of page. A window opens which has BOTH icons in the UPPER BORDER.
SECOND WAY: When you want to answer or address a particular quote by another poster, you begin by left clicking on the BLUE "QUOTE" button (
). A window opens in which you can address the quote, plus BOTH of the icons will be available in the TOP MARGIN for posting pictures.
THIRD WAY: The third way, and the way that I just automatically use whenever I make MOST of my posts, is to begin by clicking the BLUE "POST REPLY" button (
) at the lower, left of EVERY page. A window will open that allows your verbiage, plus BOTH of the icons for posting pictures appear in the TOP MARGIN.
FOURTH WAY: Any time you are making a post, and you wish to post pictures but find that the picture-posting icon IS NOT available in the TOP MARGIN, look around toward the bottom of the window that you are using for a RECTANGULAR button that says "Go Advanced". Your window will change to one that has BOTH icons needed for posting pictures in the TOP MARGIN.
Also remember that if a picture is too large, that USUALLY e-mailing a picture to yourself will re-size the picture small enough to post here.
You also MUST remember to click on the rectangular "Submit Reply" button to complete the posting of the picture.
Does this help you any? DD
