Posting Pictures stored on your computer

[BillM]

Hopefully this will help some of you who are having difficulty posting pictures. I will limit this to pictures that you have in your computer. Now be aware that size matters here; pictures should be less than about 800 pixels wide so that viewers don't have to scroll back and forth to see the whole image. 640 x 480 is a good size. There are many different programs for resizing images; I will not go into those details here.
The following screen shots are for replying to a thread but posting to a new thread is pretty much the same.
When you reply to a thread the first screen you see is Quick Reply:

Click the box that says Go Advanced

That will bring up this screen:


Click Manage Attachments
This is the next screen:



Now you will click in the top box labeled Browse;
this will connect to your computer and should allow you
to navigate to the folder where your pictures are stored.
You will select the picture and click the box labeled Upload
after the file name of the picture shows up in the the box to
the left of the Browse box.
After the picture is uploaded; the file name will show up in
the box labeled Current Attachments, like this:



Now if everything went as planned your picture(s) should be
loaded; to make sure, click the box labeled Preview Post.
Here is what it should look like; it will be a thumbnail version
of your full size picture:



Also I should add that you probably want to type in your message in the
message box area before you load the pictures, although you can put a message after the pictures too.
And in between pictures and text you can hit the enter key to put in
spaces for separation.
Hope this is helpful.

Use the Preview Post button; the picture should be there, if not you have to go back and try again.

800 pixels wide does work on FORDBARN. That is the size that I use for e-mailing and I can use the same here.
I still don't know how, or if, you can post anything but thumbnails here, off of the computer.

If you copy the URL of a picture that is on the web somewhere, like Photobucket or even in an album here on the Fordbarn, you can paste it into the Insert Image icon in the Go Advanced menu. Here is how I load a picture from my album: Click on the thumbnail to view the picture in full size and then right click on it to bring up the menu, then click on Copy Image Location. Now click on the Insert Image icon and paste the location. Here is a picture from my album. It is now a full size image,not a thumbnail. Now this is not directly from my computer, but copied from the web of course. You can also do this on previously posted pictures that are now in your attachments.
