Your pics need to be no mare than 200mb and 460x480 mp. If you know what that means you will be able to post pics.....if you have enough time on dial up. If you don't understand, sorry neither do I.

Ahawi, I have dial-up at home, and I can post pics- just takes a few minutes for them to upload. Are you adding them as attachments under the "Additional Options" link at the bottom of the reply window? That is how you have to upload pics directly from your computer. You can also upload them to an online album such as Photobucket, then click the "insert image" icon and post the pic's URL between the [img] tags that pop up in the reply window.

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

I don't even do that much work.  I go to photobucket and copy the IMG code, then paste it directly into the subject box.  It will already have IMG in front and back of it.  Add the text and go on to the next one.
