Uploading from your computer

Here's what you'll need to do in order to upload a picture from your computer:
When you are posting a message scroll down a bit until you can see the "Upload Images" button.
Click the “Upload Images” button and a box will pop up and you'll see something that says "Upload file from your computer" and next to that a button that says "Browse"
Click on "Browse" then go to the area on your computer the picture is stored and double click the file you want to post.
After double clicking the file, it should fill in the white box to the left of "Browse" with the file and location within your computer.
The next step is to click "Upload" and wait until it changes and says "Current attachments" and you see your filename listed below that.
Once you can see your filename under "current attachments", click on "close this window" or the X at the top right corner.
After that just hit "submit reply" as you would any other time you are posting.
There is a size limitation on posting pictures (currently set at 600pixels) so if it’s larger than that you may see an error and the picture will not post until you have resized to the proper size.
If you would like to control where the images are displayed inside your post, all you have to do is move the cursor to where you would like the image inserted and then click on the “Attachments” icon and select the image you would like to insert into your post. (The “attachments” icon is the one that looks like a paper clip and is circled in red in the image below) ) You will first need to have uploaded some images using the information above so you will have the choices show up in the list.

Linking from another website
To post a picture from another website you’ll need to have the web address for that picture. Once you have that, follow these directions:
Click on the “Insert Image” icon (it’s the one that is circled in red with the arrow pointing to it in the image below)

When you click that icon, a box will pop up. Inside that box just paste the address of the picture you want to post and click on “OK”. Once you do this, your picture should appear in your message.
Then just finish your post and hit the “Submit Reply” as usual.
