    Okay,

    Hit "post reply" or "post new thread". I don't think you can post pictures from the "quick reply" option. Below the box where you click "submit reply" there is a box called "additional options". In that box there is a button "manage attachments". choose that and a new window will come up. Near the top of that window is a button "browse". If you choose that button, it will allow you to browse through your files and choose whatever picture you want. Once you have the particular file chosen, click the "open" option on the windows file box and it will bring you back to the "manage attachments" window. click the "upload" button and you are done. Each picture for a thread can only be 300MB. If you want to load pictures into the gallery, you can have bigger files. Hope I got this right and it helps.

    That would be 300KB, not MB.

    i can find the brose part of uploading my problem is more of being or not being able to select or load the pics when using the brose option. thanks i know not a typical question, but i would like to try and share some photos with the crew here

    When you browse you should be able to navigate to where you have the photos then select them. Once selected I believe you have to click on upload in the dialog box and wait for the photo to make the trip from your computer hard drive to the internet storage space where they will reside for all to see.
    I usually download the photos from my camera to the desktop then open up a photo editor ( I use paintshop but there are several. ) to see if the photo is too large to upload. It helps to save the photo as a .jpeg file (this is the file extension on the end of the name) because .jpeg still gives decent resolution but makes the size of the photo small enough to upload quicker and fit within the website guidelines mentioned in an earlier post.
    Anyway, after downloading them to the desktop and making note of the name of the file, I go to our CP site, click on the icon that looks like a mountain with the sun in the sky over it and browse back to my desktop, select the photo file, and upload it.
    Give it a try. Even if you mess up it won't hurt anything.

    What Gater Said !

    First thing is to save your photos to the desktop then when you want to upload them , click on " browse " and a box will open , you'll have to slide the button on the right side until you see " desktop " then slick on that and the list of everything on your desktop will show , click on the line that's the same lettering as under the photo icon on your desktop and then click " open " this will trasfer it to the upload .

    Good luck , we're all anxious to see your pix so don't worry , just keep fiddling with it , if _I_ could do it , so can you ! . :rolleyes:

    ...or you can upload them to another hosting site like photobucket.com and link to them by clicking on the little "landscape" icon in the quick reply box. if you look in the archives, i wrote something about how to do this previously. good luck!!

    Sometimes it takes a dummy (I'm eminently qualified) to give an explanation that another dummy can follow. If your computer is like mine sometimes when I click "browse" I get pictures I don't want and can't get any others. When this happens I click "my documents" then click "my pictures" on this display. This displays all my pictures and I can use "open" and "upload" after that. Only took about six months to figure this out---duh.
