Set up an account @ Photobucket

http://photobucket.com/

Upload the pics there then copy the IMG Code for each pic & paste it into your post.

There's more than one way to do it, but I've chosen to create a profile on a free photo hosting site. I'm using photobucket.com but others here are using Flickr.com Once you have a profile there you can upload pictures from your hard drive or camera to that site. Once uploated in photobucket when I hover the mouse pointer on the photo I want to post it will give me 4 different methods of copying the photo. I choose the IMG code and once copied there I can move to my message here and paste that item. It will show up as the address in my message as I'm typing, but when others read it it shows up as a photograph. There is a size limit that you can run into, but you'll get an error message here on ClassicOlds if your photo resolution was too high making the photo too large. Good Luck! We'll be watching for your pictures John


droptop.... your not a windbag like me!

When you reply make sure you are in “Advanced” If it says post a “Quick reply” hit “Advanced”

Scroll down below the box you type in and hit “Manage Attachments” A new box will pop up.

Hit “Browse”

The hit “Upload” and wait a few secs for the pics to up load. Then close this box.
Next you can hit “Preview Post” and your pictures should be there.

There is a size limit on pics
