How to add photos to your posts
-
(1) If you do not have a user account, create one. See the separate instructions for creating a user account. Click the "Create Account" button in the right column toward the top.
(2) Make sure that you have photos ready on your computer. We encourage you to resize them. Photos coming directly from your digital camera are big on the screen and are big files which can take a long time to upload. See our other instructional post on how to resize photos. [link]
For adding photos, you have two choices:
(A) Use the Attachments option when creating a topic or replying - just click on the "Attach a file" text link. This allows you to upload a single file to your message. You can now add multiple photos to a single post (effective November 2010).
(B) Use a picture hosting service of your choice. We like ImageShack (http://imageshack.us/) - upload your photo there then use their "Forum Code" link. You can also use another service like Flickr - there are many options and they function in a similar way.
See our post on how to upload images to ImageShack for more info.

I have just updated the forum and improved the file upload procedure. I am hopeful that these changes will address the difficulties that some users have been experiencing.
