Can anyone explain to me the process of posting a photo in the forums?
I would really appreciate any help that can be offered.

To post a pic you need to first upload them somewhere on the net then once you do that you just copy the address of where the pic is and paste it in-between the brackets [image]right here[/image]
these are a few links I don't use either but I read that they are good to use

And please keep them about 500 pixels wide or smaller please (that means you have to size them to this BEFORE you upload them to a hosting site).  
Thanks - Ladobe

Just curious.....when a photo is posted in a post here, and I open the thread to see/read, the photo is actually over top of the post and other posts on my screen covering everything up.  If I click to post a reply to that post, like I am doing here/now, the pic moves into the post and no longer covers anything up.

Is this a problem with my setup or other??  I have noticed this same problem when I visit another board also.  Anyone else have that problem?  It may be one of those funky things I have to live with.

Thanks for any info, Dave1

Dave,
    I think it 's on your end. Photos are in place on my screen. I haven't got a clue what you can do about it though.

Dave;
Probably your browser, mine covers up about three posts below it. Im using the old Netscape 4.7 and it appears to be at it's end of usefulness. Had to go into my wifes explorer to read your post. If you have a newer browser might check the settings. Just wish the computer geeks could get along.
