I was trying to put in a cute pic of my new kitten but can't quite figure out how to take it directly from my computer. It seems to only want a web address. Thanks in advance.

of course it wants a web address... or else we couldn't see it once you're offline.


upload it to imageshack.us - you get the link and you paste it here.

Or photbucket.com.

That is so weird. I've uploaded pics to other forums directly from the computer and they don't disappear. Anyway it's no big deal. It's to much trouble to upload pics to some website then to here.

If you attach them (click the paper clip icon) they appear at the bottom of your post.

When you are posting, if you go down to the boxes below the one you are typing in, in the "Additional Options" box, there is a section for attach files and a box to click that says "manage attachments". You can upload a photo that way.

Oh I forgot this board has an attachment option...? Well that makes life easier!
