Apparently I need help figuring how to attach pictures to my recent post. Have them saved to a file on my desk top. Any advice? Danny

There is two ways one when you make your post below the text window there are two tabs one says options the other is upload attachment...click on the upload attachment and click browse to locate the picture

the other is find a web host based program ..like http://www.photobucket.com download you pictures to there then you can use the links they provide to post them here with a [img] the url link to picture [ /img] but photobucket will have the entire message board link for you to copy and paste

hope that helps

program says attachment is too big. must be less than 256 kb. Surely one picture isn't too big?

or get an account with http://www.photobucket.com it is free and then you'll be able to post not sure what programs you ahve on your computer to resize your pics

You use photo editing software. Your PC may have come with something or you can download Paint.net or GIMP.
