Domcath,
On the line above the Message box when you are entering test are a bunch of buttons: B I U etc. 4th from the right is the photo command. It will add the code [ img ] [ / img ] to your test and you paste the URL for the photo between the two middle brackets. The photo has to be stored on the internet somewhere, not just on your home computer
Here's some of my scratch built boxcars

Please turn your CAPS LOCK button off. On the internet, typing in all CAPS is interpreted as shouting.
You need to have your own website to store photos. There are a number of free places you can sign up with & your own server should have also provided you with web space as part of your internet sign-up. Phone your service provider and they will walk you through how to access your space & upload data to it. You will finish up with a personal URL that probably looks like this: www.yourserver.com/~domcath/
Once you have your space I'll be happy to help you with info on uploading pix etc.

Hi Phil,
Thanks for the info! Capt. C. has made a web page for me so it would be nice to be able to insert the occaisonal photo. Will give it a try on some rainy day. Later eh...Brian. [:D] [tup]
