I don't know if this is the right forum for this. I followed the instructions in the rules and guide lines section to add photos to my post but haven't seen the photos with my post.What am I doing wrong ? Do I click on SAVE after I upload the photos ?

Click 'Go Advanced' and then type your reply
Scroll down a bit and click 'Manage Attachments'
When the pop-up comes up, either click 'Add Files' or drag & drop the pic you want to the bottom of the pop-up
If adding files, click 'Select Files'; go to the file where the pic is located and double click on it to open it
Click 'Upload File'
Click 'Insert Inline'
Click 'Submit Reply'

Watch the size of your images. If they are too large they will be rejected.

Get a free Photobucket account and you don't have to worry about resizing, photobucket does that automatically when you upload your pics.

Photobucket is the easiest way to post pics on the internet, and it's free!

I've been using my free Photobucket account to post pics on the internet for the past 15 yrs.

This is how Photobucket pics appear on the internet when you post them from your free account.

No little thumbnails that people have to click on to see the full size image.

... but if you don't want to get a free Photobucket account, you can resize your pics with the Windows "Paint" program.

Click to expand...

It's all easy if you have experience, but I remember starting out 15 yrs. ago as a middle aged man with his first computer and it was hard as a rock. Most sites back then didn't even let you add attatchments and you had to use a hosting site like Photobucket. Copy and Paste eluded me for a long time but after being told how to do it about 1000 times it finally dawned on me. Now copy and paste is even easier with Photobucket because all you have to do is click on the code you want to copy and it copies automatically instead of having to highlight and then copy.

It does get easier over time, a lot easier... but you've got to keep messing with it until you get it.
