help! ain't no computer guy. How do i get my pictures on here?
Well, the easiest way for me is to have a photobucket account (they have free ones) and then just upload you pics to it, then copy the link for the image (usually the last one in the group of 4 I believe) then come here and paste the link into the box you are typing in!
Or you can use the "Additional Options" link below the box you are typing in and click on the "Browse" link across from where it say's "Attach:"! Then search you computers files for the pic you want. The bad thing about doing it that way is there is a limit in the size of pic that can be uploaded! So you would have to use some sort of software program to shrink you pics to meet the forums requirements!
The think is, the forum is going threw some growing pains right now! So it is possible you may have troubles using the forums "Attach" method! Not sure on that, but I know people are having problems with something on posting pics, or even seeing them once they try to post them. I havnt had a problem using photobucket, and I haven' heard of any people not being able to see my pics yet! So that may be the way to go!!!
Hope that helps!!
There is a thread under "Your Pintos" called "Trouble Posting Pictures" It will guide you through the whole process. I use the EMCO photo resizer and it works great. After the site update explorer would not put the pics on the page, instead there was a link you had to click on to open them, for some reason my home computer would not open the link but at work it would. We use explorer at work as well. I switched my browser to firefox and now they are on the page. :)
WOO, I guss I'll print those replies out and try to decode them. Thanks guys. The site may be too complex for us archaic guys. Couln't I just send an email with the pictures attached to someone? Thanks anyway.
resize them with photo shop to 500 x 500 and they/ll work fine
