Testing one more

Here is a try:

OK, I figgered it out

To paraphrase others, don't click on images. Click on the paperclip icon (manage attachments) Browse, select and upload the images.

However, all the attachments seemed to be positioned at the bottom of the post, so no running narratives with pix.

Hope this post qualifies for my good deed for the day.

Go to "My Profile". Click on "Pictures & Albums". If you don't have an Album, create one. Then click on an Album. Next click on the link that says "Upload Pictures". Choose an image from your computer, but first make sure it's scaled down to meet the size requirements. Once your image is uploaded, you can go to it anytime from the Album. Down below the picture you'll see "Picture URL" and "BB Code". Right click on the text in the BB Code and select "Copy". Paste that in any post or private message you wish it to appear in.

Thank you Richard. Ahhhhhh..... I have no patience I do all my stuff online from my cellphone. I don't own a computer but my daughter does and I'm sitting here TRYING to use it and the Darn popups are killing me lol. I just can't get past them to do anything. No wonder why I got rid of my laptop a few years ago. I will keep trying. I'm laughing so hard at myself right now

If you have a smartphone, look for the Tapatalk app in your App Store. While you can't see people's profile information and signatures, it is much easier to read and post to the forum. And, you can upload pictures directly from your phone through the app.

My dog is Bear he came to me with that name. Since it fit I din't change it. I've had him since October of '09. I figure he's comeing up on being 6 years old. Right now he's board because it's too cold(for me) and snow to take walks.

Testing....

The alternative which Drew posted might be a good alternative if you only have a smart phone. Register yourself with Flickr or someother photo-posting site and upload pictures there. Then go to the link on that site to "copy photo URL". You can then create a post here and use that URL for the image. This approach is common on many forums across the internet. Here's an image I posted on bananas.org, displayed here using the image icon (little rectangle with gray mountains and yellow sky):

I had to take a break. I have both accts. set up on Photobucket and Flicker. Been trying hard to figure out the URL thing. All this tech stuff gets confusing lol. I think I'll put my mind at ease for a bit and go pull some weeds then find the tapatalk app. Thank you fathersdaughter for the tip

Okay for flickr, after you are at the photo that you want to upload:
1. Right-click over the image. You'll get something like the white background that says "View all Sizes" that pops up to the right of it (see below.) Now pick a size you want to get the URL for. I picked "original" as lighted in pink here, because I had already reduced my picture size before uploading.



2. The drag-and-drop that picture literally into the address bar. Voila. You'll get a URL that ends with ".jpg"

Copy that URL.
You'll paste that here when you click on the message icon that looks like a square landscape with a yellow sky and mountains.
