i have read through the responses, zac says just upload and voila, if i am honest not sure what that means.

You can't place images directly onto AB. You have to upload tthem elsewhere and then post a link.

Try this:

Go here: http://tinypic.com/
Click Browse.
Navigate to the location on your hard drive of a picture you'd like us to see.
Double-click on it.
Click Upload Now
Complete the security thingy (where you have to type something to prove that you're a real human being)
When your picture appears, click on the last of the four links shown, to highlight it.
Right-click and select Copy.
Come to an AB post, right-click and select Paste.

[emmie]

thank you, that was the only thing i was concerned over. not sure if i can do that, and i am searching without success for some photo i was sent a few years ago that some might be interested in,

Tinypics has no way of knowing who you are. Unlike most photo-hosting websites, there's no registration process, so you don't need to give either your real name or a username (and your IP address isn't shown either - not that it really matters anyway, as it could only tell us which ISP you use, not who you are).

Excuse me for interrupting, Emmie. I just want to catch Chris, whilst he's around....Chris, I always get scared when I click on something like Tinypics and my documents are then shown in a window. I feel as if the site can then get access to all my stuff. Is that not the case, then? How does my stuff suddenly appear on the screen?

[emmie]

its a bit faffing, but it worked, thank you, i was hoping to upload the file, as they show a series of wonderful photo;s of snow circles.

[emmie]

can you load a file, where you get not one pic but the file of say 10 pics.

[Buenchico]

For Tilly2:
Clicking on something in a website like Tinypics simply opens Windows Explorer on your computer, so that you can find what you're looking for. No information is sent to the website until you select a file and click on 'Upload'. It's perfectly safe.

For Emmie:
There are lots of free photo-hosting sites. Tinypic is the most popular one for showing off pictures, simply because there's no registration process to go through. However it is limited to one image at a time whereas other photo-hosting websites allow you to create galleries and then link to the entire gallery.

Photobucket is one possibility:

[emmie]

so with photobucket you have to register, is it the same principle, no ID.
i will look at the link and see what it says.

[Buenchico]

>>>is it the same principle, no ID

No more than you used to register with AB. You just need a username and a password (and possibly a valid email address).

[emmie]

thanks for the help, i can't find the photo's i wanted to post, they are stunning and thought maybe others might appreciate them
