I would like to post some photos and attachments of tomatoes etc, from time to time, but despite some time spent searching I cannot see anything to do it with on any of the posting or new thread pages, have looked several times and cant seem to see a button or anything to click on- can someone point me in the right direction please.

Michael: When you open a reply window, there is a row of icons just above the row of smileys. They are, in order from the left, post a :
you tube link, block quote, url link, image, email address, table, etc.
copy the link of the image you want to post to the page Select the whole address, and click on the "image" icon. That should embed the link properly. Preview the reply to see if it worked. If that doesn't do it for you, play around with it, previewing each of your trials until you get it right.
Cheers
Dan

I didn't realize that, grunt - I'll have to check that out.
I tried the Picasa thing, but it doesnt read any new pics I put in my computer after the initial set up. I played with it for days... Finally, I got my own Photobucket account (had used the wife's before with a different camera) and now it's a snap. I'm sure it's just a matter of the latter being more tuned to my brain than the former... Now my only problem is that I left my camera set on the highest resolution when I took the pics (poster quality), and it crashes my computer to try to resize them on Photobucket. I realized this after I already loaded a whole chip onto PB, of course. I could resize them all on Photoshop one at a time, then send them to PB (which is what I used to do, anyway) but for now I'm just posting links instead of photos, so the too big pics won't mess up the screen on whatever thread they're on.
All I meant to say was, Michael, another option is to get a Photobucket account. It's easy to upload pictures there from files on your computer with the Browse function. Then you can hover on a pic in PB and it will display several options below. One is a direct link option, another is an image option. Copy (Ctrl V) and paste (Ctrl C) the former to post a link to the pic, or the latter to post the pic directly.
Hope this helps rather than confusticates...
