Posting Pictures

[MJB]

How do you attach pictures to a new message?
I like the look of the pictures appearing within the message, instead of being taken to a web site..

Use an online site like Photobucket and then select the link to the image.

Copy and Paste the link just as it shows. then preview the post to makesure it's what you want.
Hope this helps.

This site is "bandwidth challenged" so in order to reduce the amount of downloads, you must post your pics to a different site and they will display in your post with the img command.

Thanks....It worked; I posted a ne thread; New Menber with some pictures.
I think though I might have to learn how to reduce the size, but for now I'm good.

Thanks

If using Windows, open the image w/Microsoft Photo Editor, Click on the "Image" tab, select "Resize," then dial it down to the size you want. (Usually, I select 50% since that keeps the image from appearing too pixelated.) Save it then upload it to whatever site you're using to host your images (ie., Photobucket)

If you're using another software platform, I'm sure someone else can chime-in to help.

Enjoy

Photobucket has editing right on their website - some fairly good editing actually, including resizing images for standard website sizes.. I usually pick 800x600 for Forum postings.
