    I may not have tried to post pics on this new site until now. I click manage attachments, I get a box I do not recognize which has all the pics I ever uploaded. I used to get a box with Browse in several lines, click on the browse, hunt the pic in my folder, click it, and WALA, the pic was posted. I don't know how to get it done now. Can anyone help?

    Thanks,
    Mike

    OK, what I did to add this pic is:

    1. Clicked on manage attachments
    2. clicked on the check box of the pic I wanted
    3. Click on the pic and drag it down to the bottom where it says "drag pics here"
    4. Click done and type my post and thats it.

    If you need to upload a new pic you can do that as well. let us know if you need a hand with that... Just click the add files button at teh top right and then find the file you want to add.

    I prefer to use photobucket as I can post larger pics:

    Yes, I would need instructions to add pictures to the existing box.
    I would also need instructions to be able to upload from photobucket.
    Where did the familiar "browse" feature go? and why?

    Thanks,
    Mike

    Ok, Mike I will do my best! PM me in the future if you ever have any issues and I will try to help as well.

    1. Click the "Mannage Attachments" button
    2. Click on the green + sign that says "add files"
    2. If you can not see the files on your computer then click "simple uploader" in small letters on the right of the pop up box
    3. Now you should be able to find the files you want and add them
    4. next to add the pics you want to your posts just click on them and drag them to the bottom of the screen where it says "drag previously uploaded files into this area to attach them"
    5. When you are done click the "done button" in the bottom right
    6. Now you can add more text or whatever to your posts and then submit the reply as normal.

    For the photobucket it is really easy.. Just register for the site and then you can easily upload thousands of pics if you want to... You can make folders to seperate them and you can copy and paste the IMG code directly from the photobucket site. I use this a lot, and to share pics I can just e-mail a link to all my pics lik this. Here I just copy and paste the web address from the top of the screen into an e-mail or post on here so others can view the pics:

    Hey MIke,
    I just posted a pic as a test. Never could do it before because it kept telling me I had exceeded max storage limit or
    something. Maybe the administrators changed something and increased allowable previous used pics.
    Still don't understand it either. Good luck, a lot of members are having your problem, so don't feel stupid!
    You are smarter now that you live in Ohio!:bla:

    On photo bucket , if you click the cursor over the IMG code, it will copy. Then click paste in the body of the reply box.
    Important note for Photobucket: If you move pictures within your photobucket account , your previously posted pictures will disappear from their posts. So, create and arrange your albums before you post pictures.

    Roger, this is how your trunk could look if you had a spare:bla:
    From photobucket, maybe,[​IMG]

    Looks like I did it.
