Could you step by step me on how to attach a picture on to a message at this site.

First you will need to establish a free account on one of the picture hosting websites like flickr.com or photobucket.com and upload your photos there. For the sake of this example we will use www.flickr.com but know that any site that hosts pictures and provides links for your pictures will work.

After you have uploaded your photo you will need to get the link for the photo. On flickr you have a choice of sizes. Click on the size you would like. Remember to be kind and pick a size that fits nicely on the forum while still displaying what you intend:


If you scroll down the page after choosing the size you will find the link that you need for the website:


Copy this link by highlighting it and clicking either Ctrl+C (windows), Command+C (mac) or click on Edit at the top of your browser window and then copy.

Go to the thread where you would like to place your photo. Click on reply. Type any text you would like displayed before your picture. Then click on the "display image" button at the top of the screen. It is the greenish button to the right of the envelope button. This will bring up the Image URL dialog box.


Paste the link you previously copied in to the Image URL box by clicking either Ctrl+V (windows), Command+V (mac) or click on Edit at the top of your browser window and then paste. I have found it best to leave "Align Image" set to None but feel free to experiment. If you're not happy with the results you can always Edit your post and change the alignment. Then click "OK".

Type any text you would like under your photo. Insert any other images you'd like by following the same steps again being sure that you copy the URL for the new image.

When you have finished adding all images and text for your post click "Post Now".

You're done.

While this may seem cumbersome it really is very easy and after doing it a time or two you'll be able to do it easily from memory regardless of your skill level.

For those familiar with UBBCode the tags [IMG] and [/IMG] may be substituted.

Hope this helps!

I've got the flickr.com thingy done and printed your explanation... This may take a couple weeks. I voted for George Bush, for chrissakes!! Borat Alabamy and his Blackenedberry issues meant nothin' to me!!

(Thanks, G. I am workin' on it)

First, that step 1... I can't highlight that in order to copy/paste it and, I'm not sure what webpage I'm to be pasting it to.
