Do you have the Pic. on your computer ?  If so, tick the Attach Images box, and go from there.  It really is simple.

Cheers,

Sheba.

Click on the ,Attach image at the bottom of the page where you enter a post, this will bring up your pics, find the pic you you need & click on that pic so it is highlighted, at the bottom of that page click on open, this will upload the pic to your thread page that you are posting & then click insert & submit

Hey guys, I just did a drag and drop of a .jpg file so just trying this to see if it works

 

Well I'll be buggered it does work, so you can now just drag and drop your pic, I know this works with my browser Chrome, would somebody like to try with another brewser?

Hmmm, after more trys I can only drag & Drop from my desktop, so put your pic on your desktop and drag & drop from there, let me know if it works for you guys please


BTW 2 of the pics I used are made through VistaPrint

Seano sorry for highjacking your topic but I got excited no

Only seems to work when you click the reply button. Does not seem to work on the quick reply. It also adds them as attachments and does not insert pictures in the text. I run Firefox.

Santa, how did you upload your doggy pic? for me it start's to load I can see the dog but it then reverts to a small box on the screen, no picture, I must point out that I am on a slow up/download as I have used up my 30gb for this month, that may have something to do with it.

 That's the normal way to do it Wombat.  I thought you knew that.

Cheers,

Sheba.

 Ok, you got that to work. The size of the pic is a big up/down load & is very slow & the site seems to be slow for me as well tonight.

The make it better you need to resize the pic before you op load it, a 600 x400 image is a good size for here.
