How do I put a picture in a post

[kajero]

I am using Snapfish. I tried to do what you said but my photo doesn't show up. Any suggestions? I have some road bike shoes I want to give away and would like to show some photos of them.

I could be wrong but I think the issue with snapfish is that it isn't a public site. I'd have to be invited to see your photos on snapfish. Sites like photobucket and flickr are ones with a public setting, so if you link to it here, it will show up here.

You can upload a picture. When you are posting, down below the box your are typing in, there is a section called "attach files". Click manage attachments and you should be able to upload your picture that way. The picture would have to be on your computer - not on snapfish - for that to work.

When I attach the photos they don't show either. Maybe i am attaching them wrong?

The only way I've been able to put a picture in is to use the attach files function. I just have DH send me the pictures I want to post from wherever he has them stored (we've used several sites). Since you can only post 5 in a post, it's not too terrible.

I posted the pics! There are on the free stuff thread. I hope someone is interested.

When you use "attach" it takes a few seconds for the file to upload from your computer. Maybe you're hitting the next button too quickly, before it's uploaded?

When you're hot linking to a website, the link has to be to the image file itself, not a page that displays the image. Some people find it simpler to use the "embed" links that the storage sites provide. I don't bother with those myself. I just control-click on the image and select "Copy image location" from the contextual menu, then paste that location into the address that comes up when you click "insert image" on a forum message. Not sure if the commands are the same in Windows, but likely pretty close.
