Could someone explain in plain English exactly how you put pictures on the forum ? Pease ! Step by step. I am probably alone but I cant figure out how its done from any of the posts past or present. Ta.
The picture has to be on the internet, not on your pc. To put a picture on the internet, find any post by Boatone, then click on the link at the bottom of his post. This will take you to a site where he kindly host boaty internet pictures, along with full instructions on how to put your pictures there.
Once there, right click on the picture, and when a box opens, click on 'properties'. This will open another box, with the internet url of the picture. Highlight the url and copy it.
Then come here. then type, pasting your url in the space between brackets as shown

I'm guessing from the size, that you've posted a thumbnail version. On the photobox site, can you click on the image to get a bigger version? If so, take the url from the bigger image in the same way
Does photobox have the option of medium sized pics? That's one of the reasons I use Smugmug.com - you can upload anysize picture, then it gives you automatically resized options to choose from, with no effort on your part.
You can always resize pics in a photo editor before you save them if they are too big to post easily here.
