OK I'm sure this is a dumb question. How do you post a picture?

1. Upload your photos from a file on your computer to an online storage site like
Photobucket. At this point, you will have the option to resize your photos to "message board" size for easy posting.

2. Once your photos have been uploaded into an album, you will see 4 boxes with lines of code below each photo. These are 4 possible ways to share or post a photo.

3. The last line of code starts with [img]. Click on this and it will copy to your clipboard.

4. In the text box that your are posting the photo in, place your cursor where you would like the photo to appear.

5. Right click there and hit "paste".

6. Click "Submit reply".

great!
but i would also add that there is an option for the size that the photo will be stored on Photobucket
...I choose Message Board size - that size works well when posting on forums

Thanks I forgot about that! I'm going to edit my instructions to include that step, just so it's all in one place.

Thanks Rick!

Plan on doing my report in micro word.
How can I be sure it will not go so far that you have to
scrool across page to read it?
Set margins in word or...
Thank's in advance.

My advice to you is that after you finish your trip report in Word, copy all the text into Wordpad. Then copy the text from Wordpad and paste into your post in the forum. I can't guarantee that you'll retain all your formatting, but you should lose all the funky Microsoft Word stuff that mucks up your post.

In Windows XP or Vista, open WordPad by clicking the Windows Start button on the bottom left-hand side of your screen, clicking All Programs (Programs in Vista), clicking Accessories, and then clicking WordPad.

Hi Dan-0, Unfortunately, Phanfare does not allow you to share images with the public. Your photo albums there are by invitation only, and I believe people have to register to see them.

There are a lot of great photo sharing sites, but Photobucket makes it particularly simple to share images on message boards.

Libby, thank you- that was what I was afraid of. I will sign up with Photobucket.
