To post a picture the image must be of the type, jpg, jpeg, gif, png, and have a maximum file size of 60KB. For best viewing your picture should be 72 dots per inch. You can do this in your favorite picture editing software. A good way to resize pictures is to download the free windows utility: “Image Resizer” You can find it here:

On the right side of the screen  click on “ImageResizer.exe”

You must click on the “New Topic”, “Quote” or “Reply” button. You can not post a picture from the “Quick Reply” box at the bottom of the screen.

At the top of the “Edit Post” window there are Icons. Select the 7^th button from the left. That is the one that looks like a tree and is directly above the

Next click on the “Browse” button below the “Image Properties” box on the left side of the screen.

Locate the picture file on your computer and click on it.

Next click on the “Upload” button and select “OK”

You just agreed to “Please be patient while the image is being uploaded to the server.”

This is here for a reason: you need to be patient!

Once you can see the image in the “Preview” box on the right side of the screen you can click on “OK” some text will show up first but you need to wait for the image.

That’s it!

One point of etiquette. If you are uploading more than one picture put a carriage return (hit the “Enter” key) after each one. This way the pictures will be below one another instead of side by side. This will prevent having to scroll sideways to read text in the post and to view the pictures.
