How do I include a photo in a post? It's currently on the computer here at work.

Thanks!

You'd have to upload it onto a host site on the net first K.

I use this site for the images of mine you'll see here.

http://www.webshots.com/

Open an account, upload it, and then I'll help you link if you like.

Or e-mail it to me, and I'll do the biz for you. (I'll PM you my e-mail addy if you want to do this.)

The photo needs to be stored somewhere on the Web so that the board software can link to it. I use Photobucket. You sign up for an account, then you click on "Upload" to store photos in your personal album on the site. On the next page, it might take a minute for the "Select photos and videos" button to appear, click on it when it does, and then go to wherever the photo is stored on your machine and select it. Once it uploads, go to "Albums" and if you hover the cursor over the picture you want, various types of code will pop up beneath it. Click on the one with the [img] tags, it will say "copied". Then paste the code into your post.

Funny, it's showing up for me, anyone else not seeing it?

eta - that's not even one that I uploaded, I just linked directly to it on the web, so if I'm seeing it everyone else should be able to.

I saved the image to my machine, and uploaded it to my own folder. Visible now?

Or does Photobucket just get blocked for some folks, perhaps.
