Not going too good at this would someone have a rough (in plain english) way to do this.

Hi Ian,

First of all open an account with Shutterfly www.shutterfly.com and follow their instructions for adding pics from your own pc - very easy. When you want to post a pic in the forum, go to your Shutterfly account and select your album, double click on the chosen picture to get a larger size, right click on it and select properties, position curser over the URL address that properties brings up - at the start of the address, press left button on mouse and drag over address to highlight it, right click on it and select copy.

Go into the forum and click where you wanty your picture to be and in the tool bar at the top, left click on the tree symbol, this opens up a box, in the image URL box delete what's there, position the curser in that box and right click, then left click on paste and your URL will appear in full. Click on insert and your pic will be there.

Just like this!

Cheers,

Kim

Hi Rene,

Tried that myself ages ago and couldn't understand a word of it, in fact there was a thread on it. A lot of us are not that good on the machine and every little helps.

Cheers,

Kim
