Hi Kerren

If the photo was too big when you originally tried to post it, I don't think that copying it from photo bucket is going to help


To help show you what I mean by the 'link'

click on this

http://i0006.photobucket.com/albums/0006/findstuff22/Best%20Images/Funny/funny-gif1.jpg

which should show you g a r's cat from reply #3

Now look at the top of the page and you will see the same thing again

(http://i0006.photobucket.com/albums/0006/findstuff22/Best%20Images/Funny/funny-gif1.jpg)

g a r has just copied this top line and pasted the information into RootsChat

So to give us the link to your picture

Open the picture in Photobucket

look at the top of the page and find something that looks like

http://  ..............................

(it won't be exactly the same as g a r's link)

select all the characters in this line, then copy (or use Ctrl-C)

then go to the post in RootsChat where you want to put the link
click on reply
put the cursor in the reply area
then use Ctrl-V to paste the link
and post the 'reply'


You should finish up with something that looks like (but isn't the same as)

http://i0006.photobucket.com/albums/0006/findstuff22/Best%20Images/Funny/funny-gif1.jpg

that other people can click on to see your picture

Hope this helps

Many thanks to you all!
Judy ("Oldtimer") has rescued me this time.
However, I will learn how to do this with the help of your instructions for the next time.
