You need to set up an account at Photobucket first. Upload your photos from your computer to Photobucket. be sure before you upload you set the size to "large". When you have your pics on photobucket, minimize that screen and open the forum. Start a new post and click on the minimized Photobucket. On the photo you want, left click on the bottom choice (think its jpg). Bring up your post and right click and choose paste.

Let me know if this isn't clear and I'll try again.

Just one change to Karen's post - pick the IMG code on Photobucket to add it to the post.

The size she mentioned "large" is also called 640x480 - you don't want to put on pictures larger than that to the forum.

I emailed you also - let me know if this works.

Karen: Thanks for trying to help....Got into Photobucket, downloaded my pic...then couldn't access it let alone move it onto this website...Sent Beth an e-mail & God Bless her, she got back to me & told me to do the 'img' thing (copy...paste here, etc.) Fought with that a few times but finally got it posted...Can't help the size...don't know how yet to get a medium size pic...It's either small, for an avatar, or large as is posted. Anyhow, thanks much...
Beth: I'm having a lot of trouble with this website, keeps giving me that message & kicking me out...I persevere & keep trying & eventually I get in...can't always go to the back arrow, cause I'll get that message again...I'm trying not to screw up, but have no idea why all the problems...Had to go to photobucket several times & try to paste here...eventually got in done, but if it's too large...I'm really sorry. Thanks for the e-mail...didn't know about copying that 'img' part...Again, thanks so much...
