How to post pictures

Posted By: runscott

A few old members, and all new members, seem to be perplexed by how to post pictures in this forum - It's sort of tricky, but not too bad.

1) Log in
2) Open a new post or comment
3) Left-click on the "Insert Object" button at the bottom of your post
4) Left-click on the "upload" button at the bottom of the resulting dialog box
5) Left-click on the "browse" button on the resulting dialog box
6) Browse your computer for the file you want to post
7) Dbl-left click on the file name once you find it
8) Left click on "upload" to the right of the file name Note that if it is a massive file (I'm not sure what the limit is) it will not upload.
9) The file name will appear on the left side of the dialog box, under "Temporary Files", and a picture of it will appear on the right.
10) Left-click on the "insert image" button at the bottom right of the dialog box.
11) Julie, print this off and tape it to the side of your computer.

You can also create a "realm" and save your files there instead - these are not temporary, but filespace is limited, so clean-up is needed every now and then. To create a realm:

1) Left-click on "My Resources"
2) Find the "realm" area on the resulting page, and left-click on the "new" link out to the right.
3) Pick a realm name (has to be unique). You can then use the "My Resources" tab to find your realm and upload files
