Browse to get to the windows menu containing your pics. If you find this a problem, then outside of the forum, drag & drop the photo's you want onto your desktop, as this is where the "Browse" button first takes you.

Also outside of the forum & before trying to upload photo's to the forum, you will need to get the bit size of each photo down to be accepted by the forum server.

To do this, open your photo files so you see the phot thumnails (small pics). Move the pointer over the desired photo and by using the right click button on your mouse whilst the pointer is over the photo file will bring up a quick commands menu. Keep the pointer over this menu & move it over "open With". A new submenu also now opens up & lists programs you can open the photo file with. Now mover the pointer over "Paint" (the windows paintshop program). At this point press the left mouse button to select "paint".

You will now have a v.large detaile large bytesize picture opened up. This is too large to upload, so click the "resize" button. In the new "resize & Skew" screen - click on the "pixels" tiny button. Now delete the large number in the Horizontal numerical box. Next type in 700 (I tried this & it works ok) and click on "OK"

The picture will now have resized and appear smaller on the screen. At this point it needs "Saving". You can either press the save button or open the file button & press save as & enter a new title.

While organising the photo's it helps to rename them individually if there are quite a few, so that when you are browsing from the forum, you will not just be face with a list of photo ID numbers and having no idea which is which.

After all this, which becomes simple enough & repetitive v.quickly, go back to the post & press browse. select the correct file. select the correct photo. The photo ID will now show in the "New Attachment" box. At this point if you have got the correct photo listed, press "Add Attachment".

The program will take a few seconds to upload the photo. Wait for it to finish & the screen will jump/reset momentarily. You can now press the button to include the photo full size in the post or just leave it as a thumbnail at the bottom of your wording. From this any member viewer can click on it to bring it up fully. It is your choice.

You can upload 5 photos in one posting. The next ones have to be a reply which will add them on to the first post if no=one has posted in the meantime.

I hope this helps - it works for me. regards, TL.
