Not Computer savvy...

Ok, it was a major accomplishment for me to get pictures uploaded to an album, get a banner added to my posts but now the computer idiot shows it's ugly head once again. I have photos loaded as I said, and from time to time I would like to add a photo in addition to a verbal response to a comment. This is where the fun begins. I've read the FAQ and it mentions something about a button to "manage attachments". I don't see it. So can anyone with a lot of patience explain how I get a photo from my album to a reply to a thread? Really, I mean step by step, you know like step 1..., step 2... I am computer impaired but I'm tryin', so please, if you have the patience, I have the time. Thanks.

Don, first, I will need to delete your other thread. Now let me see if I can help.

To post a pic in a post, it must be one from your album or from an internet hosted site, such as Photobucket. It can not come from your computer hard drive. So, if you want to put a pic in a post, that is in your album, you go to that pic and click on it to enlarge it. Then with the mouse on the pic, do a right click. It will open a menu and at the bottom it says Properties. Click on that. In the middle of the screen will be the url. copy that entire url address, then go to the post box. At the top of each post box are some icons. Click on the icon, second from the right that looks like yellow mountains. That gives you a line for the url. Paste it in that line and hit enter. You can then review your post before posting. Hope this helps.

There is a Test section you can use to try it out.

If neither of OGs or my post help, there is a thread at the top of th Questions About the Site, that may help more. Here is the link.
