how do you attach a picture to post in forum


Recommended Posts

Thanks for the reply,tried it,couldn't get it. I'm the worst when it comes to computer tech stuff. What I want to post is pictures I took from my camera...then put into 'my pictures' on my computer. Is there a 'url' path that I'm not doing???

You have to upload them to a server somewhere, first. The forum can't see your "My Pictures" folder. Picasa and flickr are two popular choices.

 

I have an unpublished geocache listing (coordinates are my house) that I use for testing things like HTML in cache listings. Sometimes I upload pictures to that cache to get them onto the geocaching server, then I can link to them in the forum. Mostly I use flickr, though.

You have it backwards. You need to copy the photos into your My Pictures folder first. Then go to ImageShack and upload the photos. ImageShack will give you a link you can use in the forums.
