Pictures in threads

[Keith Chapman]

How do I get a picture that is saved on my hard drive into a thread posting?

At the bottom of the message compose window (the bit where you type in text) you will see four little check boxes and then section titled "Attach file" with a blank box with a "Browse" button. Click this and pick the picture on your hard drive that you want to include in the thread. Then click OK. Now when you submit reply the picture will be attached at the end of the message. Using this method you can only attach one picture per thread reply. If you want multiple pictures submit multiple replies or reference the pictures from another website and use the IMG button.

Thanks Mike.

I was having a blonde moment (that might ruffle some feathers)

I've tried to attach jpeg pictures but the system bounces them saying the pixel is too much or something. The pics are taken with a 2 million pixel camera and saved on my hard drive. Any tips ???

you need an image editor to make your saved pics smaller. there were ppl recommending some free examples on this forum a while back.

a search perhaps or maybe some kind soul could post again?

Try IrfanView

Cheers Jon

Tried it and it worked. Tried it out on the ' show us yours ' with horrific results. Sorry.

Thanks for your help
