If the "quote" shows nothing, the picture was posted here and will stay with the thread, even into the archives. When you read an old thread that shows those little red boxes with a red X, it's a photo that was linked from elsewhere that is no longer available.
To post them here;
Click on "post reply"
Write your message
Scroll down to "Aditional Options"
Click "Manage Attachments" which opens a pop-up box (If you have a pop-up blocker, you have to deal with that...holding the "ctrl" key usually works.)
It will give you the option of uploading from a URL or from your PC by using "Browse"
Find your image and click "upload"
If you want to post a second picture (max 2 per post) just repeat the browse and upload
Close the pop-up box
Click "Submit Message"
That's it!
Your best bet is jpg format although it will accept some others as described in the pop-up box.
The max jpg size is 146.5 KB(post total) and 1600x1600
About 8 to 9 inches wide with a resolution of about 75 should give you a good picture that's small enough to load 2 pics per post and load fast...not only for you but people viewing on dial-up.
