Thanks also BD ! I will try again to use the instructions in your video 101. Like I told John, I am stuck as to what to put after the http:// ? Am I the only one with this problem? I have self taught myself with the computer and am, therefore, limited as to what I can do. I can send pictures via email but that isn't helping here. Thank you both, Janet (Janagolf)
Hi Janet -

No problem. After the "http://" in the popup window you would simply put the link to your photo on the internet. So, for instance say you had a photobucket account (a place where you upload your photos to the internet - storage place online). Let's also say that one of your files was called "IMG_3009.jpg".

You would simply look at that image on-line at the photobucket site. Most of the time, there is a link displayed that you can copy and paste into a forum such as ours. That link is called the bbCode link. It would look something like this (using our example above)

[img]http://www.photobucket.com/janet/IMG_3009.jpg[/img]

You would simply copy that link and then paste it right into the message window (your reply or new post). OR you could copy from the "http://" through the ".jpg" and put that into the mountain activated popup as described in the HOW TO POST PHOTOS 101 link.

If you are emailing photos, then my *guess* is that your photos are not already stored on-line somewhere. If that is the case, then you will have to upload your photos using the "manage attachments" button below the reply box (as seen in the OrchidTalk help video # 3).

When you email a photo, you simply attach the photo to your message. The same is true here. It is very similar to emailing a photo. The only difference may be that you may be able to email photos that are any size, but here on the forum, the size is restricted to make sure that people can view the images you upload as quickly as possible and within the screen of their computer without having to scroll.

Please feel free to PM me or post any questions you have. I hope I answered the 'http://" question. (BTW that is called the URL (Uniform Resource Locator). In the pop-up it asks for your URL. That simply means the same thing as the "http://..." address in case that causes confusion. I noticed that when I posted the images in the HOW TO ... 101 thread. I should have explained that there.

Cheers,
BD
