one day I will figure out how to post pictures and will post them.
Great story of the hunt David.
Posting images is not terribly difficult. The biggest problem most people have is getting the file down to a small enough size. I do not recall the maximum size, for some reason 1.7 Mbytes comes to mind.
Next is finding the correct icon above the area where the text appears when you are typing a reply. In the row of icons on the right is what looks like a cartoon dialog balloon. That is for tagging text quoted from another post or source. To the left of that is an icon that sort of looks like a piece of movie film. That is for inserting a video.
The third icon looks like a tree as seen through a window. That is for inserting an image. Click on it and it will bring up a dialog box that lets you select an image from either your computer or from a URL. The image will be inserted where the cursor is when icon was selected.
If you are starting a new thread or use the Go Advanced button there is another choice for posting images. The paper clip with a little triangle next to it brings up a different image handler that will let a person upload two images at a time up to a total of eight images per post. This is good if one is posting multiple images. After uploading the images, click on the little triangle next to the paper clip and it will bring up a list of your uploaded images and clicking on one of them will place it where the cursor is at the time the triangle was clicked.
As a member you will not be able to see most posted images. To see images you have to become a Contributor at $6 a year, money well spent in my experience.
Hope this helps,
