I've forgotten how to post photos from my gallery. Can someone take me by the hand and lead me through the process? Sorry, I still even use a flip phone, no too techy!

I had lot of trouble doing the same thing. Members helped me, but still a problem.
Photobucket is the way to go. Used to be free. Then they charged $400, so I quit posting. Not the guy that set the $400 got fired, and it's $79.00 a year.
I put my photos from my phone to my computer photo album, then I transfer them to photo bucket. Then it's very easy to put on posts.
PM me and I'll walk you through it.

wvhitman,

Thank you for the info. . .but $79.00 is not worth it to me to post pics on a forum. Not that I have that many to post, but sometimes they're nice to have with the story.

Imgur is free and way better than Photobucket.

There used to be a pictorial thread on how to do it, but I can't find it. I'll try to explain using my phone (which can't be used to post pics in the forum). I like to open two tabs, one in the forum and the other in the bragging board. Clink on the pic in the bragging board to open it up. Once it's open, right click on the picture and go down and click on properties. This will open a window (or what ever it's called) and will show the URL. Highlight and copy the entire URL.
Now go to the other tab to open the forum you're postin in. Click the "New Topic" thingy at the top left of the page. Once it's open, there's several "buttons" that run across the top of that window (or what ever it's called), just under all the smiley faces. The fourth button is the "Add photo" button. Click on that and a box will appear, paste the URL you copied from the bragging board. This will place the pic in the thread.
If you're not posting a new topic, and are adding to an existing thread, click on the "reply" button under the thread and do the same steps above. Hope all this makes since, I'm not very computer savvy and don't know all the correct terminology.

Forgot to mention....upload your pics to the bragging board first; it's free.

+1 on what KRal said. Also...if you?re doing it from an iPhone, open the pic from the bragging board. Tap and hold your finger on the pic until a drop down box appears. When the options pop up, tap on ?copy?. And now follow directions that Kim laid out. It?s essentially taking the place of where he says ?right click?.

Cool! I didn't know you could do it from an iPhone. I'll have to give that a try. Thanks for that info.

Test using iPhone.....



Wow! I might start posting more pics now, my only internet at home is my iPhone. In the past I had to go elsewhere to post pics in a thread (I thought). This is good info.

Hmmmm.......old dogs......new tricks. 😬

I did have to delete the http// thingy that showed in the box previous to my paste. It showed a blank before i did that.

Id say that is what you need to change and try again billa.

It's always nice to know I'm not the only one with a problem. Thanks for the information.
