feel silly for asking this...

but...how do you guys post all these pics in your posts and they are large too! I only know how to do the four in the lines below the message box and they are 60kb MAX which is sometimes too small to even see anything!?!?!

I am usually good at this tech stuff - can't believe I cannot figure this out!

thanks for the help!

Re: feel silly for asking this...

If you right-click on the picture (s), you highlite "properties" then on the left side of the screen under the emote-icon click "insert web image" and paste the properties in there. Youcan add as many as you like

Re: feel silly for asking this...

You can do it 2 ways.

Either upload your pictures to an online photo service, such as Shutterfly, Snapfish, Wal-mart OR make an LIF album in your profile.

Once this is done you just right click on the photo and click the properties. Highlight and paste the "address/URL" info into the "insert web image" under the add feature function to the left.

Hope that helps.

Re: feel silly for asking this...

WHen you have a picture on the internet (like your profile pic, or any pics in your album, or pics on shutterfly, etc.)
-right click on your photo
-click on properties
-copy the URL address

Once you are in your post, then click on
-Insert web image (found below the emoticons)

Paste your URL address in the box that appears.

It will look like a bunch of gobbledegook, but once you post it, it will look like a pic, like this:



Then you can keep typing and insert another pic.

But one word of warning: Do not copy the property from a thumbnail (small pic), make sure your pic is big. Whatever size it is when you right click is the size it will appear in your post.

If I want a random pic off of my computer, I found it easiest to just add to a random LIF album I have. Then I copy the property from the album. If I no longer need the pic after a few days, I try to remember to delete it out of my album. But many times I forget.

Re: feel silly for asking this...

I use photobucket.com

- Register for an account

-Upload a picture that is already saved on your computer

-Once its uploaded there are 4 codes, the code that says "IMG" copy that code and paste it to your post.

Its so easy and the picture will always come up no matter what size it is.

Re: feel silly for asking this...

I just use MSPaint. All Windows computers have it already, and for my particular camera, I scale it to 25% of the original, and 90% of the time, it's below 60k. The files are plenty big enough to see, and if I need to get the size down a bit more, I scale it down a little at a time.

Re: feel silly for asking this...

I have a mac....but I can resize it in my preview program...but often the size ends up being too small to see if it is below the 60 KB
