Posting Pics for Dummies
Hey, been on the forum for awhile and am completely computer handycap. There may be instruction on how to post pics on here some where but god know I dont know how to find them. If anyone on here can give a step by step (talk to me like I am 4) process it would be appricated, looking for some finishing touch ideas for my bike but cant show anyone what I am talking about, thanks in advance for holding my hand on the inter-web.

click manage attachments
check the file size and pic size against their limits and click upload if the pic is within limits
close the window and finish your post like any other.

Easiest way is to open a photobucket account. Load your pics to your photobucket, copy the link in the "img" box for that image (there will be a few links for different purposes, the img link puts the pic in your post at full size) and paste that link right into your post. It'll show up as a pic once you submit the post.

I do exactly that. Also do not want to post in a huge picture, easiest way to resize is open Paint from your accessories folder (windows). In paint there is a resize button, click it and put in 50% apply. It will shrink by 50%, I keep doing this until I get the size I want. Then upload into Photobucket which then automatically gives me the links. Click on the img link which copies it for you and just past it into your chat box here. Click preview to view how your post will show up before you submit.

or facebook... and get the url from the uploaded pic
or dropbox... and get the url from the pic
or a dozen other methods of getting pics on the internet.
once you get them on the net, view the pic, right click, properties and copy the URL.
Then when you make your post and want to insert the pic, click the little yellow icon in the edit window that looks like 2 mountains and paste the URL into the dialog box.
once you do it once or twice, it is simple to remember

I've tried but I guess my iPad isn't "photo friendly" and my work PC is too slow and locks up on non "work" sites.
