HOW TO POST PICTURES TO THIS FORUM.

Step 1…log on to Coppermine Photo Gallery (top right corner of any forum screen)
Step 2…click on register and follow the instructions
Step 3…once logged in to Coppermine, click on Upload File
Step 4… Follow the steps to upload a file

NOTE you should have a pre-prepared .jpg file that you have shrunk down to either sml or med using windows (right click on pic and choose either one in XP Professional)  If you don't the picture size may be too big for coppermine.  If you have another operating system you will have to figure this out for yourself.

Step 5…left click on your uploaded picture so it is selected (and slightly larger) and in the center of your screen
Step 6…right click on your uploaded picture and select Copy Image Location
Step 7…type out your message on the forum (don't use your delete key during typing)
Step 8…when you want to post your pic in your message, left click on the Insert Image icon  (this is the little square second from the left just above the smilies)
Step 9…without moving your mouse, CTRL+V and the location (url) of your pic will appear in the middle of the javascript gobbledygook you put there when you clicked on the Insert Image icon.
Step 10… click on the preview, check out if it worked.

YOUR DONE, CONGRATULATIONS!

Note to experienced users…please report any errors in the above steps to yours truly.  Stan
