Could someone please tell me how to post pictures on here or send me in the right direction to find out how to post pictures? Normally when I can't figure out how to do something on the computer, I tend to just throw the computer out the window and then I don't have to worry about it.

You will need a site to host the picture. You can upload it through. http://marsh.webreefs.com/
Then you click the img button above your new post, place the link to the picture, then click the img button again. Hope that helps! You can preview the post to make sure it works before you submit.....

Thank you!!

If you have trouble hosting let me know and I can host them for you and shoot you a link.

I went to the website and tried to upload Marsh' link but I get a message that it doesn't match my security settings. This is usually the point where I throw the monitor out the window and tell it not to talk back to me. HELP PLEASE!!

hmmmm...... On the site you browse your computer for the file you want to upload and click upload. Then it will give you a link to your picture. Did that part work?

 

[Linda]

I browsed and went to my E drive and picked the picture which put it in the box and clicked upload...it ran for a few seconds and then said it did not match my security settings....which by the way I didn't set the security settings to begin with...
ggrrrrrrr

It's done that to me a few times. I don't remember doing anything to fix it. I think I just waited or kept trying.

make sure the photo does not have any spaces or symbols in it.

ie. my dog.jpg will not save but MyDog.jpg will work.

See if that helps

Another thing is that if your pic is too big, then it won't work. I know from THAT experience.

I'll keep trying....Thanks Marshians!!

I'm still trying but it's still not going...could there be something with the pre-set security on my computer that is keeping it from going? I can send photos by email or on ebay all the time...just can't do it on here.

Has nothing to do with the security settings on your machine.
Must be a .jpg or gif under 100K and under 500 pixels wide

I am having the same problem with a pic 200Kbs

For those just wanting a photo hosted shoot me an email. I can do a few for you.

Keeping in mind that I am not computer saavy...if my picture is bigger than that, how do I make it smaller? I feel like I am in elementary school again...

I use a free-ware program called InfranView. It does resizing (in batches also!) and some very basic conversions / editing. It is a lifesaver for me...
