As far as I know you can only post pictures that are already hoasted online.

1. Click the "reply" button on the bottom, left of this post.

2. Look across the top of the message text box and there will be two rows, the first of which will have the "fonts" and "sizes" among other options.

3. The second row, however, has a small image of what appears to be mountains with yellow sky about two-thirds across.

4. Click that image and it will give you a pop-up with the prefex of a URL.

5. In that box you simply cut and paste the URL of the image you would like to post.

I upload to Photobucket, resize if needed and then copy link code and paste here.

I sometimes cop a big one and madly hit the edit button at the bottom here and fix the size before copying it over again and pasting.

Can we now expect some howling goodies from you L2L.

God bless

Aye Caramba!!! El mucho grande el picture-o!!!

If anyone is having issues with imageshack, or photobucket try using "tinypic" .

Sometimes both photobucket, and imageshack linked pictures can bog things down taking forever to load up the images. So far haven't experienced that with tinypic...so far.

Also one other tip for resizing pictures, if you want to do it on your computer, but do not have access to Photoshop, Paintshop pro, etc... Then just use windows paint. Open the image in windows paint, then pull down the "image" menu and select the "stretch and skew" command.

Once that window opens use the stretch option and type in a % like 60% or something in both the horizontal, and vertical boxes to keep it in its original format and not all skewed and distorted looking.

Anyway the 60% was an example. Play with different sizes (remember if you do not like the resize then immediately click "edit", "undo", or using keyboard use CTRL + Z.) to find the size that works for whatever purpose you are manipulating the image for.

Just a couple tips for people who are new to posting pictures, but not sure how to resize, etc.

Pie.

Once ya do it a couple of times it will become second nature.

Oh I forgot to add to my previous post to not forget to save your image once you get the resize you want. Also if you want to keep the original at the size it was, then do a "save as", and save the new resized version as a new image.
