how do I...

[Bbbananas]

attach a picture that I have saved on my desktop to a thread I want to post on this site? I have tried a number of option's; none of which have worked.

Open an account on an image hosting website such as PhotoBucket or Flicker. Upload the image and paste the url/img reference in your post here.

You would have to put a copy of the picture onto one of the photo hosting sites (photobucket, tinypic or flikr) and then copy the link they give you and paste it onto your thread or post here.

bl00dy hell, that sounds a bit complicated for a computer-duff like me. I'll have a go, thanks.

Salla - it's not complicated, honestly ! The most difficult thing is working out what all these new terms mean (like upload, copy and paste lol)..

1. Register with one of those sites mentioned (username and password, usual stuff).

2. Upload (which just means copy from your pc to that site) the relevant picture, using the upload and browse buttons.

3. Copy the url/img reference (which will just be a name that the site has given to your picture) and paste it onto your AnswerBank response.

4. Click on AnswerBank preview button to make sure the link works.

5. Any problems, just email me !

PS To quickly copy something, just highlight it and press the Ctrl and C keys together. To paste something, just press the Ctrl and V keys together.

Wow, salla ...

... are we getting the "action shots" from this weekend?

I might use one as my new desktop wallpaper !!!!!!!

[Bbbananas]

Oh Jayne, if this works, and you don't laugh, I will give up!!

[Bbbananas]

I've done 1, 2 & 3 - I think successfully, but I have no preview button.

[Bbbananas]

I'm sure I've done it correctly now - but when I click on submit then view the image - it just comes up with a box saying 'photobucket image moved or deleted'.

It's not porn or anything offensive!!

Any ideas what I'm still doing wrong?

For the purpose of posting a link in here, use tinypic:

http://tinypic.com/

No need to register or anything. Just click 'browse' to find the pic you want, then copy and paste the third link when it has uploaded

Thanks guys - tried Ethel's suggestion as the others didn;t work for me. I don't know whether I've got it 100%, but please feel free to view - Fart in a Wetsuit, Chatterbank.
