This is kind of off topic but how do you get the cool little pics to come up within your post and be the correct size and all that?
Assuming I ever have something going on worth looking at, I would like to be able to put it together that way. It makes for a very easy read.
By the way, I am enjoying the thread....thanks for sharing!
If even one person gets something from my efforts, then it is worth it. Thanks, and I intend to post everyday.
Below the text box, there is a blue box with 2 folder tabs:
Options, and Upload attachments.
Click the upload attachments tab.
Click the box labeled browse that comes up.
A new box pops up that you need to add the picture from your computer. The picture can not be too big, so you may need to make it smaller first. By this I'm not talking too big size wise. I'm talking file size in KB (kilo bytes) or MB (Mega Bytes).
I take a picture with my digital camer, and upload it into my computer via a cable.
I use Adobe Photoshop to crop it first, then Save for web. Save for web compresses it so it is thousands of bytes instead of millions of bytes.
You lose a little clarity, but it is the only way to upload files so they are fast and don't waste space.
Once it is smaller, I attach it, and the forum Bulletin Board Software does the rest. It resizes it to fit inside the little postage stamp looking window you see in a post. If you click on the photo, a larger one is displayed. This is done so the pages load faster. They are called thumbnails.
Hope this helps. What you need to see is what photo editing software you have on your PC. If you tell me what you have to work with, I can walk you throug resizing your photos.
