Posting an image is dead easy.

1. Hit "Reply". This opens a dialogue box in which you type your message.

2. Under the dialogue box there is a blue line that says "Attach a photograph or image". Click it.

3. Two lines with Browse buttons open. Hit the Browse button on the first line.

4. A window with thumbnails of all your photos will open. Select the photo you want to attach, and double-click it.

5. Click on the blue "Post" button at the bottom.

There is a 500kb size limit on photos, and each file has to have a unique name, or the website thinks the picture is already posted and won't do it again. So a photo with a filename like "Dad" is unlikely to post successfully. But a unique name like "Dad_at_home_1937" probably will.

If you are getting an error message you have to tell us what it says....because it is telling you why your photo won't post.


PM me or any of the restorers on the Photo board if you have any problems.

Cheers,
