How to attach photos to posts
Can anyone tell me how to attach photos to posts? I've got some great shots of my new friend Airhead modeling my headgear with attached chinstrap. Thanks......Kay
Faced with the choice between changing one's mind and proving that there is no need to do so, almost everyone gets busy on the proof.....Galbraith's Law
This is some info our forum friend, Lori, sent me when I asked this same question:
To do a photo inside a post, or a graph, etc., what they are telling you is that you need a site on the Internet where first you can put your "image" so it can have an address. I use http://www.photobucket.com. You can sign up for free and it allows you to upload all your photos there. Once you do, you have an actual "IMG" link to copy when you want to include it in a post of yours here. For instance, let's say you uploaded a graph from your MyEncore to this Photo Bucket site and want to put it in one of your posts. You go to the site and under the photo of the image that you've uploaded, there will be three links, one of which is an IMG link. You fully highlight and copy that link. When you want to include it in your post, wherever you want it to appear in the text box, you past that link and, voila, it should appear in your post. Just hit "preview" to make sure you got it right.
If you ever want to post a photo that is already on the Internet on another site or wherever, not your own on Photo Bucket, you highlight the photo, right click your mouse and copy down the URL address of the photo. When you insert it in your text box of the post you're writing, highlight that URL address and click the "Img" button at the top of the text box. That prepares the photo to be shown as an image in your post.
If you want to insert a link that when clicked on will take you to a specific page on the Internet, you do the same. Copy the web address into the post (http://www.whatever.com) and then highlight it, but click on "URL" at the top of the box and it will set it up as a hyperlink in your post.
Hope I'm not losing you.
Lastly, if you want to quote someone, just hit the quote button at the top right of that person's post. It will open up a new reply post with all that information set up to be in the quote, with the author's name in the gray header area. If you want to edit out all of what they wrote except one part, you just have to leave the iniital bracket [ that contains the word "quote" and the = sign and their name and leave the final bracket ], and make sure the end brackets [ ] containing the /quote, that that whole bracketed string with the /quote is right next to the last letter or punctuation mark in that quote. That way it will only quote the one part you're trying to have quoted. Otherwise, just hitting "quote" at the top of the person's post will quote their entire post. Perhaps you don't want that and just want to quote one section of a long post. That is why you'd do what i just described.
If you have any questions, feel free to PM me back. It's not as hard as it sounds if you just follow these instructions. You'll be a pro in no time.

PS: You might want to make sure you reduce the size of the pictures first - to a managable size. Mine were too big on my first try.

Kay,
The pictures aren't actually posted on here, you have to have them hosted on a web site somewhere first. Then you post a link to the pictures.
If you don't have a web server, you can use a hosting service like http://www.photobucket.com. Once you have uploaded the picture to photobucket, it should give you an image address which you will post using the Img button above the post text section (where the URL, bold, etc... buttons are). Just click the Img button, insert the web address, and click the Img button again.
The picture will then show up as if it were in the post.
