This would be a digital photo. If you only have a paper photo, you would need to scan it and save as an electronic file.

In the event you cannot scan it, I do not know if paper photos are accepted (you would have to mail it to a moderator to be scanned and posted).

Would it be possible to show some screens on the forum, to make sure that newcomers understand the whole thing?

Here comes the cavalry with help

1. Make a picture. To be honest it's not so easy, and probably it's the hardest of the steps.

2. If you have digital camera there's no problem to download a picture on your local hard disc, if it's a paper, scan it.

3. Make sure your picture's resolution isn't bigger then 800x600 pixels, and the size isn't bigger then 200kb (1/5 of MB)

. If it is, especially after downloading it from digital camera or after scanning, you need to resize it. Make a copy of a picture, if you don't want to loose or destroy it. Then use any graphic program: photoshop, ACDSee, or free one like Gimp or InfraView. Every one should have somewhere the option that let you resize the picture (sometimes it's called "picture size", "resize", etc.). If you can't do it, send an email to forum staff, for example: to Andrew or Rick, with description.

4. If you have a picture resized, just start the thread or quote someone, or just post reply - you can do it already

. Then you'll see a window:

5. Scroll down and choose Manage Attachments:

6. You'll see next window, where you can browse your hard disc, find a picture (s) and choose UPLOAD (My windows is in Polish version, so instead "Przegladaj" you will see "Browse" probably

):

7. When the picture is accepted, you'll see listed it below the browse windows, if it's not (because of size, or wrong extension) you'll see information above the browse windows.

8. Close the window and Submit Reply. Have a fun!

Regards!

Wolviex:

That's a neat thing you did with the screen shots. You also managed to do something I have not been able to achieve on this forum, and that is to intersperse text and graphics. How did you do that?

Ian.

Ian, those are screen captures (not sure exactly how that's done, however) that Wolviex hosted on Photobucket.

You'll need to host and link your photos if you want to insert text, as the forum software will attach photos to the bottom of a post by default.
