When posting, click on the Manage Attachments button (scroll down to see it).

In that new window, click on Browse, and FIND the picture that you want to upload. The picture has to be in bmp, gif, jpe, jpeg, jpg, or png formats. The picture is also size limited to 50K.

Once you find the pic that you want to upload, click on upload.

If successfull, the filename will appear in underneath "Current Attachments" and one of the 3 windows will dissappear. (see below for example)

IF IT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL, chances are, the file was TOO LARGE- you need to rezise it- either by kilobyte size and.or pixel size. Download the free-ware irfanview (www.irfanview.com) and use it to rezise or crop your pic to 50k AND/OR 640x480. There are 2 limits. Try upload again.

Once the pic is uploaded, (here is a trick that not many know about!) CLICK ON the hyperlink in the current attachments area. A new window will open with the image in it.

COPY the URL for that picture (the address that is in the ADDRESS area of explorer, at the top), and paste that URL in between the 2 image delimiters that are used here- they are [ IMG] to start and [ /IMG] to end (without the spaces).

You will get [ img]http://ptenthusiasts.org/PTForums/attachment.php?attachmentid=18420&stc=1[ /img] for example.

Close the UPLOAD window, POST and you are done!!


This will save the LOAD, EDIT, COPY, ... steps that I think someone is trying to define. Those steps are not necessary.

Here is what a successful upload window should look like.

Well after soap, water, clay bar, two coats of wax the winter grim is gone again. You will notice the leaves are not out yet up here.

Alright! Another Canadian comes through!

I've previously done the entire procedure (except for the rather helpful "click on the hyperlink/copy URL in post" section). Unfortunately, my previous efforts have ended up with a postage-stamp-sized photo in my post. Not what I wanted at all, especially since I've seen other users with nice big pics in their messages (like the one FLASHBK2 posted). But I'll try it one more time just out of curiosity. Here goes...

No luck. I give up.
