The current instructions on How to Post Photos on the Forum are ancient and give some incorrect information. This is how I currently post photos.
1. Assuming you have clicked "Post New Thread", type in your message, then skip a line so your cursor is on the next line, or leave a space if you wish. 2. Scroll down to "Manage Attachments", and a box will open called "File Upload Manager" 3.Click "Add Files" 4. Click "Upload files from your computer" 5. Click "Choose File" which will take you to your computer. 6. Go to the files you have stored your photo, such as C;/Users/Your Name/Pictures/Studebakers, etc. and click on the photo. 7. In that "Window", click "Open" 7.Click "Upload" This will place your photo in a file on the forum allowing you to add many other photos. 8. Enter it in your post by clicking in the small box to the lower right on your photo then: 9. Drag your photo (or photos) to the window below your photos on the forum window. 10. Click "Insert Inline", which will enter your photo in your post. You can drag the photos in the order you wish them to be displayed in your post.
If this is a "Reply", you will have to scroll down to "Go Advanced" to post your photo, then click "Manage Attachments". If you want to leave a link to a photo or article on the internet, you must highlight it by holding down the touchpad or mouse button, click "save" on your computer, then "paste" it on your post. In the past, many used, and the Forum recommended Photobucket, but now they charge for your photo storage membership, and only paid Photobucket members can view your photo(s) on the Forum. However, "Flicker" is still free, and works just like Photobucket, but maybe even better. The following is my "Signature" as posted on Flicker, just as an example if you want to post a large photo.
