Pictures add a lot to our forums and we sure appreciate our members sharing their experiences by posting pictures here... At this time, the only way, and always the best way, to post pictures is by linking them from a free picture hosting site. Here are some Free Hosting sites that are simple and work great. www.hunt101.com/www.flickr.com/www.photobucket.com/All you need to do after you sign up at one of the above sights is follow their instructions to upload your photos to their site. Then you pull up the picture you want to post on the hosting site, copy the url for the picture, and place it between the image brackets that will appear here in your post when you click on the "Insert Image" icon (fourth button on the bottom row under "Add Tags" just above the window where you post a message. Note, this needs to be done in "Reply" or "Post a new message". It won't work in the "Quick Reply" area. I'll be glad to help you if you have problems. Just drop me a Private Message. (klsm54) Thanks

File attachments used to be a paid service here. We tried it for a couple months and determined it was a rip-off. They have improved the system though where it works a little better. Proboards has now decided to allow file attachments as a free service. A couple restictions 1. We are limited to a certain picture size (1mb) 2. We are limited to a certain file size before we can no longer attach photes (100mb) When you reply to or create a new thread, you will see "Attachment:" You can browse your computer and pick your file. It still doesn't make it the most practical way of posting pictures here though. In no way does your post "flow". You can only have 1 picture per post and you can not choose where the picture will show up on the post (it will be at the bottom). My suggestion would be to post pictures as you always have - going through a hosting company. It produces posts that are of much higher quality. If you still don't know how to post pictures in this manner, I'll be glad to continue accepting your emails and I'll post them myself for you. If you don't know how to post via a host, can't get into contact with another staff member, or just have 1 small picture --- go ahead and use the file attachment if you want. Keep in mind that we shouldn't be going overboard with these attachments because we only have a limited file size and that has to last who knows how long. I may even go back and convert your file attachment you post. It's out there for you to use if you'd like. For practical purposes, there are better ways to post your pictures though. Attachments:
