Egerton,
Easiest way I've found to post photos is:
first, save your photo on your destop as a .jpg of medium quality, say 350 kb in size;
second go to
http://www.photobucket.com and register to become a member. Then hit "browse" on the upload part of photobucket's home screen. Your own laptop's places will pop up. Get to your Desktop and click "Open" on your photo. It's address will appear in the photobucket screen. Hit "Upload" and you'll soon see the photo in your photobucket album if you scroll down a little from the upload section.
Add a title as it's easy to do, and click OK so it registers. Now, the key part: Each photo has four choices for posting. You want the last one, IMG. Just LEFT click on it with your mouse and a little note will come up that says, "copied"
Now go to your post a topic screen here on the BBS. Write out your message, carriage return a time or two and RIGHT click your mouse. You'll then see a screen that lets you click on "paste" and the photobucket address will appear in your BBS message box. Do another carriage return and you can caption your newly added photo.
Double check that you've got it by hitting the Preview Reply button at the bottom of your post a message screen.
Takes less time to do than to tell and is far less complicated than it sounds. NOTE: you cannot cut and paste messages into the BBS directly from your My Pictures folder. Got to go through a host like photobucket.
Regards, Tim
