I could well be wrong, but when you try to insert a picture into a post the box that comes up requests a web address (http) rather than something you could use to insert a picture from your own computer or from one of your albums here in PC. Is there something here I don't understand? All I'd like to do is insert a picture from my own computer, same as can easily be done when you're uploading a picture or pictures into a PC album. Anyone have any answers? Take care!

Simplest would be to start an acct with photobucket or similar and upload pics from your computer hard drive to photobucket and then link on PC to photobucket image.

You have to have a URL. You could not just link to a place on your computer, which is probably not on the Internet full time, and does not have a constant Internet address.

Right below the picture a URL appears, along with an image tag so that you can copy that and put it directly into a message:

Whether you mean an URL for finding the gallery or one to upload photoes the answer is YES! Click on Photos on the task bar near the top, then click on upload photos. It allows you to pull directly from your library of photos on your computer... and down the page gives you an opportunity to upload from an URL.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
