Jeb. There is actually a "Sticky" about that, but I still struggled.
Basically your pics need to be already uploaded to a site such as Flickr.
You look at the selected photo on that site and look for a way to "share"
I find you are best getting something known as the "BB code".
You copy and past that code into your message and with luck it will show.
At first my attempts simple created a Hyperlink to the photo but eventually it seems to work.
I don't see a way to simply paste photos directly to the forum. |

Wow - I have never seen a forum that one couldn't just click a link to add a photo, file, etc.
I have some old family pics which have vehicles from the 20's and 30's in them and was looking for a forum that might be able to ID them - any suggestions? - jb

Jeb. At least give it a try; there are some very helpful and knowledgeable people on this forum. It's also very friendly and I have seen very few examples of of grumpy comments.

Hi Jeb, as suggested in the Posting Photographs section Photobucket is the easiest. Google photobucket(or follow the link in the section) & create your FREE account. Then upload your pix, one at a time or with the supplied ' Bulk Uploader ' Once pix are uploaded go into your library,select the pc you wish to post & in the sub menu which appears click on the box which has 'img '
in it. This changes to ' copied ' & you can then go to your post on this site & right click to paste your pic. Hope this helps,cheers,JD.
