OK, humbling myself...non-tech savvy
Can someone please explain to me how to post a photo? The Help page tells me to insert the photo's URL into the post, but all I get when I do that is the photo's URL, not the photo itself. Can I post a photo that's living on my hard drive, and if so, how?

Thanks! :dunce:

It has to be a jpg photo to show up.
If it's anything else it will not show up. You can right click on it and save it to your computer as a jpg, then upload it to a photo hosting site (like Photobucket) and then copy that link and it will show up.

1. You have to upload that photo to a hosting site.
www.photobucket.com is one. Upload your photo there, then post the link.

2. Here you go:
Post your photo to a pic-hosting service like Imageshack. www.imageshack.us

When you host it, it'll give you a URL link. Copy and paste that link in the message space here and it should show up.

4. Your photo needs to be "hosted" somewhere.
You cannot post a photo that is only resident on your hard drive.

One good free photo hosting site is Photobucket.com. You can upload your photos from your hard drive to Photobucket, then you can link them here.
