Hello Graham

To 'upload' - First make sure that the pics are in jpeg format and get the picture to below 50kb. (You should be able to do this with your Picture Album software- send me a Private Message - and I will try and you help here)

Once the picture is below 50kb - 'sign in' to the Forum and open the page that you want to place the picture in - Open Reply - 'click' on the end box in the top row of the 'Post Reply' panel (shows a tree with an upward pointing arrow) this will then open a 'Browse' notice - click into where the picture is on your computor (usually your own Picture Album) and select the picture- make sure that your title to the picture has only alphabetical letters - (no dashes or comma's etc). Follow the instructions - and your picture should appear in the Post Reply Box - as I said - drop me a PM and I'll try and explain it further if the above is not clear.

Regards

Hello Graham,

Like Paul I normally put links to photos that I have uploaded to my web site.   The forum size limit is understandably low and this means it's nearly impossible to upload a decent picture. The big advantage of  'linking' to an image on another site is that there is no file size limitation.

Here's how I do it.

Find the image you want in Internet Explorer.
Right click on the picture and select 'Copy shortcut'

Right click on the forum button to display a dialog box.
Right click on the edit box (saying http://') & select the 'Paste' menu.
The link to the image will be inserted in the edit box (http://www...). 
Click the OK button and you're finished.
The picture will then appear in the message you are composing.

These links are easy on the forum resources as the images are not stored on site.  The only snag is that if they are deleted from your host site, they'll disappear from here too. 

Hope this helps...
