Sneeugans , I am not a computer boffin either , being from a previous generation that still used our fingers and toes to add and subtract
Any event , since I am somewhat slow in that department , I try to do it as simply as possible , and perhaps I should tell you what I do .
Firstly I have a file where I keep all my pics . Now I have created another extra file , which I use for posting pics on the forum . So the first thing I do , I copy the pic to the new file . In that way I cannot lose the original pic .
Now I am sure that the pictures program on your computer must have some facility to resize pics . So I use that program to resize that pic , making sure that the LONG side is no more than 800 pixels , otherwise it cannot be posted on the forum .
Then , you go on internet onto "
http://www.photobucket.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; " , and create an account for yourself . It is quite easy . On photobucket you can create albums etc onto which you can upload pics . A window will show " upload to - whatever's album " , click on the window - upload images and videos , and it will oen a window of your documents . Then go the specific file with your pics , open , and it will upload the pic to photobucket .
Once that is done , it will show the pic you have uploaded , now open that album , and the pic will show . Now click on the pic , and a window will open showing : e.mail , direct link , html code , IMG code .
Click on IMG code , then right-click , then copy .
Now go to your forum message , and where you want to place the pic , you right-click again , then " paste " , and Voila - your picture should appear .
Jeewiz , I hope you understand , because even c now that I read it , I have some difficulty with it

. But good luck
