How do you attach pictures to text? I can't get the pictures out of my computer. When I press preview, only the text shows up. Will appreciate any help. Steve oooo

You need to place your image somewhere visible to the open internet. If you have a server, or personal server space that can be accessed with http://yadda-yadda... then you click the little picture thingy located on the buttons above the window (when you're posting) and just below the words "Message Text" - and paste that address in.

It can't take the pic directly from your PC unless your PC is open and shared to the world (which isn't a particularly astute way to set it up) That's the problem.

PM me if you need additional clarification.

Hi Steve.
If the file 50KB or smaller you can use the attach file at the bottom of the reply window.
Larger files will need to be stored on a web storage site.
Turn on your PM and I will help if you would like.

hmmmm... I didn't know about the >50Kb thing.

One learns something new daily.

Must be because mine are ALWAYS bigger than 50Kb

Yea I wish bigger would work sometimes.
It loads to the forum site so I see their problem.
When you load to the forum you get one of these.
I think you knew this.
