Does anyone know of a web site that teaches how to add pictures, lincs, to replies we make to threads. I'm very unknowledgable about most of the stuff here. and the tech. terms don't mean much to me. I am trying to get braver and try things but still very scary. For instance i wanted to reply to a birthday with a flower bouguet. Found one Saved it, Know how to get it to my email but how to get it into a reply? know how to get the properties and names etc. but after that is confusing. Thanks for any info

Well if you find a picture online, there is no need to save it to your machine, because then you would need to upload it so it is online again. You can't show a pic that is saved on your pc itself (it wont show).

So, if you find a picture online, you have 2 options:
> right-click (with mouse)
> select "properties"
> copy-paste the link location of the picture (on the website in question)

OR
> right-click on the image
> select "copy image location" (on the pop up box)

Since the image is already online, you can include it in your post by adding the tags

For example:


So, the basic thing is just to save the link location, paste it between the tags.

Dunno if that helps...

Always, that's illegal, is "bandwidth theft" someone else is paying for you to post their picture on another site:

Froggie, get a free photo site of your own http://www.emailaddresses.com/online-photo-album.htm and upload it from your computer to there and use that address or get a free blog, here from PC or somewhere like Google's http://www.blogspot.com (where I have mine) and upload it there and then use that address. Basically you just need your own site of some sort and the site will have instructions to how to upload pictures and things and how much space you have to do that, etc. Then you can use the URL of the picture to show the picture here.

That's not how they address it in the FAQ on PC. From what I read, you don't have to necessarily upload it to your personal webspace - see the "for example" in the quote below.

"How do I add an image to my message?
In order to add an image to your message or your signature, you must have the image already available on a web server.
This can be an image on your own personal web page, for example".

http://photobucket.com/ is a GREAT site to use for PICS to upload any where you need.....

Thanks you guys i'll play with some of these ideas. I was on photo bucket a long time ago looking and didn't have a use for stuff then and no camera. But now we do and its time to learn. i have found stuff on free clip art sites so I should be safe from jail. Anyway thanks.

I'm sorry, Always, I didn't mean to sound harsh

The operative words are "you" -- it has to be a site that you own, pay for, have acquired, not someone else's picture and site that you're borrowing without them knowing. "You must have the image. . . " not, "someone must have the image" or "an image must be. . ." That's why the example is of your own Web site, not of just any Web site. But, it doesn't have to be an actual personal Web site it can be a photo site too, like photobucket. But it can't be someone else's site who doesn't know about you. That literally, despite what anyone says, is illegal and is theft.

While it's possible and often done, and being the Web one is likely to get away with it with no consequences, it does not make for good character building :-) When one buys Website hosting one has to pay for "bandwidth" which is how often your site is accessed and looked at; Super Bowl advertisers pay more for their sites than the dry cleaner down the street because they're gonna have a gazillion people looking at it all at once and the server has to be ready for that (which is separate from how much "space" your site takes up; could be tiny, one-page but having a gazillion people looking all at once is like everyone flushing their toilets during the ads so they don't miss the game; water usage goes up). When you put someone else's picture on another site, it's still referring to that person's site since it has that URL and everytime someone looks at the picture here, that person gets docked for it there. Instead of people just looking at the picture there, all of us are looking at the picture here at the "same" time. Usage can go way up. Pictures are much larger than words and thus more "expensive" too (part of why DocJohn doesn't have us upload pictures "here" probably) and take up space, etc. The size of the Website has to be paid for in addition to usage and you're getting a "free" large picture hosted by someone else. I won't go into copyright and how it's not a picture you took. . . :-)
