Hi
Being a bit of a computer IT retard I am having difficulty attaching a pic to my post.
Have got as far as selecting the pic in the browse facility but cannot find how to attach it to the post. I have read the help forum but can't seem to find a solution.
Perhaps posting a step by step idiots guide in this section would help any others who are also IT challenged :'(

step by step guide POSTING PICS:
*Need to be member in the forum to be able to use this function.
Step 1: Click "Relpy"/open new "New post".
Step 2: click on "Additional options" (picture 1 attached and marked in blue color).
Step 3: Click on "Browse" option to add the file from the location/Folder in your computer.
(picture 2 attached and marked in blue color).
*Be aware Maximum attachment size allowed: 700 KB, per post: 4
If you have any further questions I'll be happy to help.

Hi Thanks for prompt response..
I had in fact got that far, it was how to get from Browse facility to posting pic in the thread. The only options I had where Post & Preview which did not seem applicable.
I hesitated to use these options for fear of posting a thread without the picture thereby confirming to the world that I am indeed stupid :wacko:
Perhaps the answer is that the pic was over the allowance? would that have stopped further choices/instructions appearing? I will now blunder around the PC and try to find picture size. :ph34r:
But in the meantime await your comments.
Thanks

If you'll try to post pictures which are biiger then the allowed size you'll get messege telling you to go back and choose different smaller picture/s size.
About posting the picture/s: Yes,once you finished to browse the chosen files/pics just POST.
:)
+Tip:
To resize pictures easily you can download "PowerToys for xp" which will make the job much more easy.

Option 2: open with "paint" and save again as "jpg".
*first option is the easiest and fastest solution.

That was quick, well I have discovered that it was 563kb but I did not get any message saying it was to large!
But then I never pressed Post. So will now download recommended site and resize.
Thanks again
