I would be grateful if someone could tell me how to post images. I have read the thread on it and the instructions there dont work for me.

if I try to insert image I am directed to insert the web address for my pictures. the attachment buttons don't do anything ..

Hi Gina

To post pics the way you're trying you have to have somewhere online to put them such as a free Flikr account as I use.

There are comprehensive instructions to be found in the readme section of the forum here.

Could be the size of your files. Hanno (as you'll no doubt read in the instructions) urges we use the upload to forum option.

Please give me a call on the number I sent in the PM.

The easiest way I found is when posting click on the manage attachment and click on the basic tab.This will then bring up browse, click on that and look through your files and attach
The resizing action takes ages or not at all so is better to resize them before attaching
If you havent got a program that resizes. Easy way is to send an email to yourself.It will ask if you want to make pictures smaller. Click yes
Then save somewhere you can find it then attach in the forum
A bit long winded way of doing it but it works

Default thanks

many thanks Keith and all . Your advice is apples, my browser was not.

None of your good words helped until I ditched IE9 and used Firefox. There are apparently known issues with IE9 used with windows seven.

all is working for me now so look forward to a flood of photos
