Posting pictures

[2wheelsforme]

Twice in the last couple of days I have read of people not knowing how to post pictures. It is very easy but does require a few simple steps which become fast after done a few times. So for the non computer peeps: Know where the picture you want is located and its file name. It makes it easy if you just put it on your desktop. (you can drag and drop it there from wherever) In your post box look to the top and to the right of what looks like an envelope and click on the square box. You will get a screen titled "Insert Image" and a choice to make, from computer or URL, choose computer. Then a bit lower click browse. A new screen showing your computer files will come up, you may have to scroll up a bit but select desktop. Then lower down by file name start typing the name of the file you desire, it will show all choices thinking for you according to what you type, pick the one you want and select "open". You will be taken back to the Insert Image screen where you just click "upload file". You pic should now be in your post. Much more easy than it sounds and others may even have a better way than mine. Post those pics I like em.

And if you upload to this forum, it needs to be less than 2M to upload.

I followed the instructions 2wheel posted and I get a message stating the download failed.

Post image seems easy. I have been emailing pictures to myself to resize, but how do you get the image to show up instead of the link?

Open that picture. Click the button titled "Share", which can be seen in the gray bar above the picture. Copy the address of the picture that shows in the "Direct link" row, just under "Link". Start a new Reply here, and click the little icon that looks like a picture. It's the third one from the right, and if you hover your cursor over it, "Insert Image" will pop up. When you click the icon, another window will pop up. In that window, click the "From URL" tab. When that tab opens up, paste the address (URL) that you copied before. Uncheck the "Retrieve Remote file..." box, unless you want your picture to be small, like this:

Unchecking the box posts your pic in all its glory:
