I've seen Blossom do it.....

....so would you please share with me how to copy and post a cartoon? I've found some cute ones over time but you can't do it the same as with text. Or at least I can't. You'd love these jokes. I promise.

Thanks a gazillion! Sue

Sue; I worked on using Image Shack this morning to figure it out. I'll post the info later. I don't normally use Image Shack so I had to figure out how to do it. It'll probably be easier for you to work with than Photbucket. Meanwhile.... save those cartoons on your computer in a file that you can locate. I'll post the H'how to" like I said in a bit.

P.K. Sue.... you can't post photos in "Quick Reply" It has to be in "regular reply"

Under all the smilie faces, click on "Browse"
Locate the cartoon or whatever on your computer and left click on it

(If you did it right there should now be words in the "upload an Image Area); if there isn't, do it again)

Click on "Host it

An Image Shack box will open. (Do not interrupt it while it's loading)

Where it says Thumbnails for Forum 1

Copy and paste the code in here




You won't be able to see the picture or cartoon until you hit preview or post.

If the file is way too big, it'll come up as a thumbnail.

There's another way (for full size) but practise this first. Print this off then try it out in the Testing Area.

Thanks! I'm going to try this later. You're a gem, Jackie!

This area is great and love to try new things - but I am having trouble with uploading a picture I wanted to share.
SO - so what I am I doing wrong - had it work once but pic too large. Just want a thumbnail - to embed in a message or even to the gallery.
Do I need to joing Image Shack - and do I need to use the thumbnail link??

Were you using Image Shack or Photobucket? If it was photobucket, there is an area for thumbnails (probably is for Image Shack too)
