How to post pictures to the forums

[orchardair]

Step one:
Hit "NewTopic" or "PostReply" and see that at the bottom of the page there is a tab labeled "Upload attachment". (click on that tab).

Step two:
Once the "Upload attachment" tab is selected, click the "Choose File" button. This will take you to your computer's file system, where you navigate to the picture, and click "Open" (a better label would have been "Select", but whatever).

Step three:
Once the picture file has been "opened", you are back at the "Upload attachment" tab, with the name of the selected file in the "Filename" line.
all you need to do is click "Add the file". The smaller the file, the quicker it will upload (600kb seems to be a good size). Note: If you need to reduce the file size of your picture, one of the easiest tools is Microsoft Paint (Start > All Programs > Accessories > Paint). Open your picture, Click the resize button to make the pic smaller, then "save as" a different file name. You'll notice that the file size changes after you save the file.

Step four:
click the (now visible) button labled "Place inline", and move the string that looks like [attachment=0]<your file name here>[/attachment\] where you want the actual picture to be in your post.

Step five:
Submit.
