OK will this suffice???
Ah Ha another Dame(sel) in distress
It is as you might suspect quite elementary my Dear Dore
I'll try to do explain in words of two or less syllables where possible!
- Firstly make sure that you are wearing spectacles (if you need them)
- Then immediately after you have composed your masterpiece of text and pasted it into either a reply to an existing topic or a new topic/thread
- Simply scroll to the bottom of the form and try to find the link that enticingly says"Manage attachments"
(it looks remarkably like this):-
- click it (the link as shown above)
lo and behold this most useful pop-up err umm pops up
Note that there is a 500KB limit on the size of jpegs you can upload , so you may have to learn how to resize your ginormous camera files if they any are over 500 KB
- Squint at that screenshot carefully and you might spot that the system now gives you the choice of uploading a file
either direct from your computer or from a URL where URL=Uniform Resource Locator
or in English the address or a picture's address on a web site
(if you found a sublime picture simply click your mouse's right button to see the err umm right click menu then simply select the bottom option "properties"
the picture's address will then be smack in the middle of the properties box :
- highlight it and copy it then paste it into the inviting virgin white box
almost there now
- press err umm upload
alternatively if the picture is not on any web site yet but is still reposing on your own computer somewhere
- Be so bold as to click the "browse" button alongside the equally enticing white box entitled "Upload File from your Computer"
- you will see a display of your very own computer's drives
showing off the imposingly large number of drives on my custom built PC
- TIP
if you are going to upload a picture from your computer put it somewhere easy to find such as a floppy disk (in drive A) or on your desktop
- upload by err umm pressing the upload button then wait:-
depending on your internet connection speed you should soon see evidence that you have are attaching a file
and as shown by this screenshot eventually the program will show the fact that one file has now been successfully attached
[list][*]If you now click "preview" the attached thumbnail(s) should appear in the err umm "attached thumbnails" box.
[*]As an example I have attached a screenshot showing the results of a search for GL cover art at
http://www.freecovers.net/
[.list]
- simply click it to see the full sized picture
- Any other questions???
