Hi folks'
This I think is one for Robin 128. I know it is on here somewhere, and I have been through loads of posts, search and wot-have-you but i am uable to find the relevant information !! I apologies for covering the same ground again.

How do you post or copy or incorporate pictures or photos into a post?

Help or simple instructions for a simple geriatric old fool would be much appreciated.

The way i do it is to upload your pic to Photobucket then copy and paste the IMG coding below the picture

A bit more info here...

Let me know how you get on?

1. Join and upload your fotos you wish to post to

http://photobucket.com/

2. When you start a thread or post a reply where you want to put a foto, click on Img button above the box...this will automatically post two bracketed syntax within your posting.

3. Locate your foto in photobucket, and just click direct link underneath your foto....which copies the HTTP addresses to clipboard.

4. Paste the HTTP address (from clipboard) between the two middle brackets (put pointer between both brackets and left click), then right click on mouse, and select paste).

That's it...the HTTP address will appear between brackets (that have IMG in them)and the foto will appear after you click submit....if it doesn't, you did something wrong...delete the post and try again.

I've just been trying this and failed. What is IMG coding, pls?

look up rog up up up

I like Photobucket been using it for years, I just wish they wouldn't keep "improving it". I just get the hang of one layout and then they "improve" it. :evil:

And why on earth they think I'd want to make collages of giggly gels I have no idea. :roll:

Still its stayed the course and the pro account isn't expensive. Uploads are getting quicker too.

I use irfanview to edit pictures its free. To attach them browse for them using the box at the bottom of your post find them in my pictures and save them. Pictures takes seconds and its easy.
Tried photobucket to much of a faf on.
