Posting Pictures To The Forum...

Post by Allan »

Posting pictures to the forum is not too complicated the second time you do it.
This post should help you through the first time.

Start by making sure that you know the location of the picture on your computer.
When you have decided to make a post, find the 'New Topic' button.

When the 'Post a new topic' page opens scroll down to the 'Upload attachment' section.

Click the 'Browse' button and when the 'File Upload' screen appears navigate to the file you wish to use.
Now click on the 'Add the file' button and the file will upload to the forum.
You can do this with multiple files at this stage.
(Note that the illustrations in this post are from a Mac. If you use a different system your interface will vary slightly but the process is the same)
You will see that a new section called 'Attachments:' has appeared on the page below the text input window. You will use this after completing your typing.
When you are ready, place the cursor where you want to insert a picture.

Use the 'selection' button (red arrow) to open the list of files (if you have more than one) then click on 'Place inline'.
After you have placed all of your pictures you can click on the 'Preview' button to see how your post will appear in the forum page. You can then make any changes you wish or go ahead and click on 'Submit' to go live!

It is my understanding that most or all of the common graphic file types are supported.

Any questions? Add them to this thread and I will try to help.

Keep yer tools sharp! That way you can use more of your strength guiding them AWAY from your body rather than forcing the cut!!!

I just want to add that the max pics allowed in one post is 3. If you have more pics to add, just make another post.
