Critique Welcomed Trying to Learn How to Post

[Ronald Atchley]

Please pardon the learning pains I'm going through.
Will attempt to upload an image of my niece and her beau
according to the instructions Hamish was good enough
to give me.
Oh dear Oh dear.... Technology

Are you trying to upload them straight from you computer?

 

[Ronald Atchley]

Very very sorry but this is NOT working like I am used to.
I tried to follow Hamish's instructions but honestly got lost
from the start. The steps I took were :
Post new thread
Typed body of post
Clicked on manage attachments
Got file upload manager
Clicked Add Files
Clicked Select Files
Highlighted image
Clicked Open
Clicked Upload Files
Highlighted both thumbnails in Home folder and Attachments
Then , finally , rather than click " Insert Inline" as I always have , I clicked
"Done" and got the same result except with the box around the thumbnail.
I was unable to find an " image button" , a place to click "from URL" , etc.
Maybe it's cause I'm uploading from my computer and don't have a URL ??

I told you I was illiterate .

Again, very sorry to be so much trouble.

Ron

EDIT : Yes Yes Hamish. I'm uploading from the computer.
Sorry, I was typing when you replied.

We recomend hosting the images else where ...
Do you have a Flickr account?

Have a read of this
Sharing Images

The image button I meant is the one third from the right in the line if icons above the box where you type the text...

We will get you there, dot worry
