how to post a picutr

Need help, trying to post a pic, is there anyway to do this directly from computer, or do you have to go thru another site, tried posting thru tiny pic and picture uploaded, could not figure out where to go fromthere, not real computer literate, any help appreciated, thanks

Learning to post a picture is a "right of passage" on this forum

Put pic on your PC...

hit host an image

select your file

Host it...let it eat

select the middle url

copy it and past it into the thread

select preview to look at it

then post it

Pretty easy stuff

Well Neck, I must be dumb as a stick, I have some pics on my pc, but I do not see host an image anywhere, Bob

6th icon from the left above text box.

Look at the "reply box" - where you would type in a reply to this message. See the icons at the top ... the 6th one from the left - looks like a window with another window offset to the bottom right ... that is the host icon. Click on it, use "browse" to find the picture on your computer, click on the picture you want, 3 links will then appear - copy the middle one and past in the message reply box -- click on "send" ...

OK, down to selecting the middle url, after i hit copy seems like nothing happening

Once you single click on the middle link (Image) . move your cusor to the message reply box (where you want the picture posted) .. when you cusor is in place, right click on your mouse ... select "paste" and it will paste the copied link in the message reply box ... then click on send and the picture should show ...

Another way is to upload them to a Photobucket account, (free).

Then copy & paste the link.

lol, something is missing in this thread



A tip for those that don't know,

Instead of using the right click menu, you can use:
ctrl + c = copy
ctrl + v = paste

Also, ctrl + x = cut if you need to cut.

Keyboard shortcuts make computer life a little easier, if you can remember 'em, lol.

I know this is hard to believe but I got a picture posted, thanks for all the help, I feel like i need a smoke after this, havn't done that in 35 yrs., Bob

Just one more ? on posting pics, how do you post more than one pic, just finished building a .50 cal. Lancaster and would like to post some pics of it.
