Edit : I finally got around to updating this to reflect the newer forum software. If anything is wrong or needs more clarification, let me know.



First, click on "My Controls" at the top of any forum page.




Nexxt, click "Your Albums"



If you haven't previously created any albums you get this screen. Enter a name for your album and choose to make it public. Then click "Create Album"



After the album is created, in the drop down window, select "Upload Image"



First, browse to the image on your computer that you want to upload.

Second, name the file. You cannot upload the file uless you name it something.

Third, click "Post Image"




After the image is uploaded, you will see a new page showing your image.





With Firefox, right click on the image and select "Copy Image Location".



In IE, right click on the image and select "Properties", then highlight and copy the "address".





Then navigate to your post, click the "Insert Image" icon, right click on "HTTP://" and paste in the copied image location.



You end up with something that looks like this.



I usaully choose to "Preview Post" nexxt to make sure everything went as planned before I post it.

You're good to go!

Wow Todd....we can use a training manager at my company. These are great...especially for stupid people.

You need to write online manuals for electronic gizmos.

Thanks Todd !

One gotcha if you have a slow connection like me.

When you open the picture in My Albums, you will see it, but the green status bar on the bottom of your window will continue to show activity. If you copy the properties before the picture had fully downloaded, you will get a error.
Be patient, once the picture is fully downloaded, you can right click and attach the picture.
