HELP! I'm Trying To Post My Family Picture!

[MarianJack]

How the hell do I do it?

I have a HP "my Pictures" file. How do I put it into a thread?

Thanks in advance!

1. You need to host it someplace, then link

The easiest thing to do is set up an account at www.photobucket.com and host it there.

2. Find somewhere to upload it...

(I registered for a free account at photobucket.com), and follow the directions to upload a photo (which usually involves clicking a "browse" button which brings up the files from your computer. Go into "My Photos," select the photo you want to upload, and click the "upload" button on the website). It's kind of hard to explain here, but once you register and actually see it in front of you, it's pretty easy to figure out.

3. O.K., I'm a Monumental Technical Dipshit!

It took me this long to get the f'in thing set up, now how do I move it into the post?

4. If you're using photobucket

underneath the picture are three lines, the first titled 'URL'. Copy the text in the box ("http://img...") and paste it in the post.

5. OK...

I'll work through this with my own account, so it's right in front of me. :)

Sign into your account. Once you sign in, you should arrive at a page which says "Add Pictures." Under this, there should be two blank areas labelled "Picture" and "Description" (don't worry about the "Description."). To the right of the blank box by "Picture," there should be a button that says "Browse." Click on it, and a list of the files on your computer should pop up. At the top of this pop-up, there's a drag-down menu where the default option is probably "Desktop" (at least, that's how it is on mine). From there, you have two options:

1) If "My Documents" is under the default desktop menu, just double-click on "My Documents" and then into "My Pictures."

2) Click on this drag down menu and replace "Desktop" with "My Documents." From there, double-click on "My Pictures."

Once you're into the "My Pictures" file, double-click on the photo you want to upload. The pop-up menu should disappear, and you should be back at the original "Add Pictures" page, with the blank box next to "Picture" filled in with the location of your picture. This being done, click "Submit," and it should work.

If this is unclear, which I'm sure it is, just let me know and I'll do my best to help. :hi:
