Well I wanted to surprise everybody with pics of my new baby girl (camper) but I wasn't able to post/attach pictures. Others have and it says you can but I can't... :? I don't have an 'url' to attach. Any help will be appreciated. Oh, I already looked in FAQ and the answer didn't make much sense to me. TIA

I have also wanted to share pictures but can't do it either. Have read & re-read instructions & still can't seem to get it right... very disappointing & though I've had a computer since the early 70's (so not a 'newby'), it really flustrates me that this particular website & photobucket is so hard to work with.... :(

What site are you using to host your pictures (i.e., Flickr, Photobucket...)

On Photobucket: I upload my pictures as 4X6 at 75/80. Are you trying to upload too large? Size them first.
After uploaded go to your "library" and put cursor on the picture you want to post. A "gear" will show up in the right top corner. Put your cursor on it and a menu will show up below it. Click on "get links". A new menu will show up; you want the "img" code. Copy it and paste it in your post or reply.

What happened in PB where you would just pass your curser over the picture and a menu would pop up and you could click "copy"

Well, thanks to irmi I found out that you have to have something like photobucket and I cant figure that out either...lol. And like Excel I have been using computers since they were invented! I think I'll try flicker....we'll see if that is any more user friendly...

PB has become like Ford with a better idea :P But it does work OK once you get used to it.

Please go to the maintenance tech room and the sticky for how to. Mitch has done an awesome job giving a photo tutorial.
