Hi to all,
I wonder if someone would post directions on how to upload pics without going thru photobucket. That seems so involved and tedious. I would like to just post with my text. Thank you in advance

When you make a new post, type your message, then scroll down. Below the message box is another dark blue bar--upload attachment. Where it says 'filename', to the right of that is a box which says 'browse'. Hit that, and you can browse your computer till you find the photo you want. Mine are all filed under My Documents, then My Photos. Click on the photo you want to open it, then hit the button that says 'Add the file'. That's all there is to it.

Hi Sally
Thanks so much for the info - it sounds easy. I can be so computer illiterate somtimes I amaze myself I shall give this a whirl very soon. I need a couple of shots of my latest additions to add to my growing family. Thanks again

Well, that did work. But, when I uploaded the pix it said the files were too big. So I did as (I think it was Ursula said) on how to resize. I just know this won't work - I have spent far too much time on it today, therefore, I've surely messed something up. If it doesn't work this time, I'll have to leave it alone for awhile (like a couple of days). Sometimes you just keep making the same mistake over and over again. That said, here goes nothin'

I still have to go through photobucket Mine always say they are "too big"
do tell...what is the trick?

Oh, wow, now I'm really excited The trick is to go to where ever you have your pix and look for "resize" which is probably under edit and I just kept looking around for everything else. I resized to 600 x600 or whatever it put in automatically. This is great, now I have to figure out how to put a comment in as I post (or whatever) as this pic would have been "Zelda praying to the cuttle god for help with these fids"

WOOT WOOT!!

Yay! Now you can post pics to your hearts content in all the appropriate forums.
