If i promise to never upload a pic of Gordon Brown, can some-one take me through uploading pics onto a post?
I am a techo-phobe and 'Sunshine' did try to help me through pm's but i can't get the hang of it.
Your instructions must be idiot proof as i admit that technology is not one of my strong points.
I don't even know how to programme my dvd and once had to phone Mr O to ask how the grill worked.
You must also have extreme patience.
Thankyou.

Firstly make sure you have the picture you wish to upload saved onto your computer, most use My pictures. As long as your allowed (copyright) to take the pic just right click on it and save to my pics/documents/desktop.
Right now for adding it into a post here.
Open up a new message box, along the top you have the fonts and sizes and colours, then a smiley face. The next icon that's a paper clip is the one you use to upload pics. Click on the tiny arrow directly next to the paper clip and a new box will pop up.
When the box appears you have the option to include 7 or 8 pics. Click on choose file and it will take you to your pc, look for where you have saved the pic and then click open, it will upload it and then you click the upload button, its takes a minute or two depending on how fast your pc is. Once its done, you can place it where you like within youre post by clicking on the arror next to the paper clip again and clicking each attachment.
Hope that helps

Personally I use
photobucket
Upload all my pics to there and when I want to add them here you just choose the link with the [img] code wrapped around the url of the pic. Just highlight it and copy and paste to your post here.

That means bugger all to me :yh_rotfl
That's like Mr O trying to explain how to time the heating. :yh_rotfl
When he wakes up, i'll get him to take through your instructions.
I had to get gmc to help me put links on when i first joined as well.
Thanks again.

Left click once on the picture after you see it posted at a thread. The picture will open larger to view it better.
