Its also convenient and easy to right click on the picture you want and save to "my pictures" on your computer.

Then you can use the "Paint" program to resize the pictures to a more manageable size for posting.

When you do that, you can also use the browse feature above the reply field to put pictures in the body of your reply.

If you want to use an avatar, you have to host that in photobucked and post the URL ( second one down under the picture ) in the avatar field in your profile.
Post that link in your profile
Go to profile>modify profile> and scroll down to the avatar field. Paste it there> scroll down and click modify profile.

for a picture in your post, use the link under the picture in photobucket. It's the last one down. Copy that and paste it here.




To use the Upload an Image: feature above the full reply field...

Be sure your images ( pictures) are the right size.

In the full reply area of the board click on the "Browse" button above the text box.

Select the photo you want to post from your folders by clicking on the picture and then clicking on "Open" in the pop-up window.

Then click on the "Host It" button next to the "Browse" button.
It might take a minute or so for your picture to come up, and if you see an "Error" don't worry about it, your picture should come up a few seconds later.

When your picture comes up select the second link "Clickable Thumbnail Image" by clicking the circle next to the link. Then click "Add To Post"

It's that easy.

My kingdom for a printer (to print out these directions). A printer that my computer will recognize, that is. I took my old computer that wouldn't accept it and they fixed it. 6 mos. later I got a different computer and I'm back to the same problem. Argh...

I'm just going to have to write it all down. Thank you for the directions. Can't wait to play!

I've been trying to change my avatar and having no luck.

My profile and PhotoBucket do not seem to be on speaking terms.

Have there been any changes to the board that might have
caused this parting of the ways?

My Bad. No fault of the board. Can anyone say
"Read the instructions fool".
