How Do You Attach Pictures To Your Post?

Hi,

I would like to add pictures to my post, but I don’t see an obvious way to do it. I’m probably missing something because I see other posters doing it. So can anyone out there please enlighten me as to how I can add attachments?

I tried the FAQ feature for an answer, but it comes up as “file not found…”

Thanks!

You need to upload the picture you´d like to post here onto an image hosting facility like Photobucket. You can open an account there for free.

Once you have uploaded the picture there, a pop-up window opens when you move the cursor over the picture. Click on “direct link”.

When writing a message there is a filmstrip icon on the bar on top. Click on this icon and a new window opens. Paste the direct link in the box and click OK - there should be your picture.

Thanks for the info Ulrich! It’s much appreciated!

A somewhat simpler method using Photobucket is to select the IMG code link. You can paste that directly into your post without clicking a film icon. Just right click and select paste.
