I forgot how to post photos any help on this :idea

I assume you mean you want to put a photo in a post. There's two steps to accomplish that task - putting the photo in your album and creating a link to a photo in a post.

To upload a photo to your album, navigate to your album (there's a link to it under your name in any post you've made). Once you're at your album, there's a pulldown menu labeled <<album actions>>. From there, it's pretty much obvious how to get a photo in the album.

Once you have a photo in your album, you can place it in a post by:
To put a picture in your post that has already been uploaded to the internet do the following.

Open the picture in your browser - e.g. click on the thumbnail so the image is big. Then (these directions are for Internet explorer) right click on it. Select "Properties". When the dialog box comes up select the "Address URL" and copy it to your clipboard (Ctrl+C).

Now that you have the URL of the picture you can use the IMG tags as follows.

[IMG]PASTE_THE_IMAGE_URL_HERE[/IMG]

As you can see the tags are wrapped with square brackets and the closing tag has a / character after the opening square bracket. This is a pretty standard way to use tags.

You can get the tags by hitting the Img button, pasting the URL and clicking on "close tags". I usually just type the codes myself.

Also, it can't hurt to remind you that all of the above could have been discovered by a combination of searching the site and hitting the "help" icon in the upper right hand corner of the page. Topics like this have almost always been covered before.

For example, by using the search tool and searching for "picture image post" and selecting the use all terms button, I turned up the following previous discussion (amongst others). I borrowed a bit from that post for this one.

Zydecomo To create the picture Mike did do the following

• right click on the photo in your photo album with your mouse
• click on properties on the drop down menu
• an the Address:URL triple click on it (the entire address should be highlighted)
• now right click on the address and click on Copy on the dropdown menu
• that is the code Mike got for the image
• it is pasted between

Well you got it working now - yep things are a litle different on a Mac (which is what I use). We discussed image posting for the Mac awhile ago in the Mac Users forum. A search led me to that post too....
