Here's a quick tutorial for IE - the procedure is similar for all OS's and browsers. It's a little tougher than a regular link, but once you do it a few times, you'll get the hang of it.

- Go to the picture you want to include. For this excercise, we'll assume it's in a C-Brat photo album, although it could be anywhere on the Internet. Here's a link to Digger's puller bracket in the Snoopy-C album.

- When you see the image on screen, move your mouse over it and click it with your right mouse button, then select Properties. In the window that pops up, you'll see an "Address" field - it starts with "http://". This is the text you need to make the image link work.

- Drag your mouse across the Address text to highlight it. Note: it may span more than one line, so make sure you get it all.

- On your keyboard, press Ctrl+C - this will copy the text to your clipboard. It will look like nothing happened.

- In the window where you are entering your new message post, position your cursor where you want the image to appear. Press Ctrl+V - this will paste the Address text you highlighted earlier into the message window.

- Drag your mouse across the Address text you just pasted into the message window to highlight it, then click the button that says "Img". The text for the picture on the linked page above will look like this in the edit window:

Code: 
[img]http://www.c-brat.net/albums/Snoopy-C/IMG_0837.jpg[/img]

Click the Preview button, and you should see the picture in the message. If everything looks OK, click the Submit button to post your message, and as you'll see below, the pic makes it into the message.

Sure do appreciate all that info about the photos, etc. I've copied the instructions, too. When you have time, will you please set up a photo album for the R-Matey. Absolutely no hurry as I am still playing with the digital camera & trying to figure that out.

So how do you do a "Smiley Face" when you're posting a reply and want to include one in the message???

Thanks so much.

How about the link thing also, as you did on your note to me. I remember long ago seeing that discussed, but don't remember it either. That takes up less room on a message than posting the jpeg. Thanks,

You're set to go, Ruth and Joe. It's on page 10, or just click on the link that now appears under your profile information in your posts.
 
Hi Bill (DaNag),
I know that I waited to long to use my old photo album and I'd sure appreciate it if you'd be so kind as to set us up with a new one. Bought a scanner last Friday and have already developed a love-hate relationship with it but trying to figure this stuff out so that I can get all our R-Matey photos (mostly hard copies) included in the album. Thanking you in advance.

P.S. Looking forward to seeing everybody this weekend. We'll arrive Saturday morning. Norma has us in A-7. And Pat (Daydream) I also have a photo of you and Oscar that I took at Lopez. Remind me to give you a copy.

Hi Bill,

Thanks for the quick response and for getting us re-connected again to our album. I sure hope that I can figure it out. Guess you can tell that some of this computer stuff is kind of beyond my scope but I'm working on it......Off to bed in a few minutes as 4AM comes much to early so will make my album attempt tomorrow night. Just showed Joe the posts for Blakely - I knew he'd probably change his mind about leaving B'Ham on Saturday. Now he's talking Friday....well, we'll see what happens.

Thanks again so very much.
