Hi,

I've gone through all the FAQs. I've read every single post on the subject. And I STILL can't get a picture from my computer uploaded as an attachment to a post with the size I want it to be. The picture or pictures are not too large. But the only thing I can get uploaded is tiny. Maybe half an inch by half an inch. The same image on my computer is the size I'd like to copy to a post. It's a jpeg. Instructions for uploading from a third party website have been posted. They don't apply here. How do I get it to be the size I want it? Thanks in advance. Take care!

How about if I try it right now and see what happens? I've picked out a .jpg to try it with.

I click the "Manage Attachments" button. The instructions say that for .jpg attachments the max filesize is 97.7 KB (mine is 88KB) and the max height and width are " - - ".

I click "Browse", select the image on my computer, and click "Upload". After several seconds I see my filename shown as an attachment to this post. Now I'm going to click "Preview Post"...

Sure enough, I get an "Attached Thumbnails" box at the bottom of this post with a miniature copy of the picture about an inch and a half each way. When I click on the thumbnail (right-click, so I can open it in a new tab without losing what I'm writing) I see a respectable-sized copy of my picture, maybe 6 by 8 inches.

What happens differently for you?

Ygrec; I think you might be confused by the word "attachment". I think you want to "insert" an image; that can't be done from your computer, it has to be done from a website (like this one), website to website.

J.D. has said she uploads the pictures into her photo album here and then uses that URL/address in the yellow-mountain/postage-stamp looking button "insert image" slot. I don't know if that will work for you. I own a couple of my own sites and upload pictures to that site and use those urls to get the picture. But you can't go from your computer to a post (only your computer to your avatar); you have to upload first to this site's photo album/another website.

Ygrec23, it may help to upload your pictures to a free site like www.photobucket.com

You can then "edit" the pic and resize it i.e. extra small, small, medium etc. Medium is usually a good size for posting here. I posted the following on the bipolar forum and I hope it helps:

To get pics on posts, profile pages I use this site: http://photobucket.com/ You can upload your own pics or choose from their pics. You can save pics from their options in your album. At the top of the pic you will see a tab that reads "share" click on that tab. Then click the "get link code" tab. Choose IMG for bulletin boards & forums (4th choice). Copy the link and when you paste it in a post or profile page it will automatically show the pic. Let me know if you have any problems.
