To post pics here (where the pic is stored by PA on its website, do this:
1.) Hit "Reply" to open a reply, just like you normally would. Wrte whatever you want to be in front of the pic.
2.) Hit the little blue arrow button that says, "Attachments and other options." It's located to the left just below the main text area, where you've been typing your reply. It will open up a few more entry areas. You will be adding your photo (s) as an attachment. Here's how:
3.) Hit the bue button that says "Browse". A window will open up on your computer (or phone). Use that window to find the photo file on your computer that you want to attach to your message.
4.) Now select that photo file, and the window should close. Bingo, you've just attached a photo file!
Notes:
1.) Photos must be reduced in size to about 600 pixels wide, to fit the file size requirements and to fit well in the forum column width. You can reduce the photo size with simple photo editor like MTPaint (free for download) or Photoshop, or via any online photo reducer.
2.) You can also upload photos to a free photo hosting service, like Photobucket, and then just put a link to that photo in your message, rather than attaching a photo to your message. The advantage of that is that the forum doesn't have to store photos, which takes lots of storage room. ( It also seems that this forum deletes old photos to save space -- I notice older threads often have photos missing ("deleted by administrator" )).
To link a photo, copy the photo's URL address to your clipboard from the free photo hosting company and paste that address where you want the photo in your message.
Then highlight the address in your message (ie. select it) and click the photo button (first button in the second row of edit buttons, above -- located under the B Bold button.
That will put /img tags around your photo's address, letting the forum software know that the address is an image, not just an ordinary link.
Some photo hosting sites have a means of inserting those /img tags without you having to do it via the photo button. You should be able to see the tags surrounding your pasted photo address.
Hope this helps!
