one way is post your photos to webshots or photobucket

photobucket gives you a clickable thumbnail

webshots you can make the thumbnail small or large but still clickable if some one wants to see the photo in full resolution

Use a image hosting site like photobucket to get a direct link. Then use HTML code. Check out the link below for the image HTML code. Put your direct link from photobucket inbetween the quotations where "url" is. Good luck. Jeremiah

help--how do you post pics

Why doesn't garden web have the "browse" feature that allows uploading directly from your computer? They have it in the name that plant forum cause pics are crucial there. But more and more pics are needed in this site as well to diagnose all kinds of problems. I would like to see that feature added to this forum as well. And while I'm making requests, what's with all the pop ups now? I scroll down and then the pop up moves the screen. I click on things I don't intend to cause the screen keeps moving. It's getting very commercial and I don't like it. As far as posting your pic, what you need to do is get the address for the pic so we can see it. Right click on the pic at the photobucket site and select properties. Then you will see the address. Highlight the address and select copy. Then you can paste it here where it says "optional link url" and we can follow the link. The link to the pic will appear at the bottom like you see on this post. Good Luck.

mangled, I use Google's Picasa for my pictures. It'll pretty much create the links for you to cut and paste (it's on the right side of the page). I've seen other picture hosting sites but Picasa works for my needs.

hi Simon, like jsvand5 said, first, upload your pics to a website, such as picasa or photobucket, or even a file server. now suppose the link to a photo you uploaded is http://www.domain.com/myphoto.jpg. just add <img src=http://www.domain.com/myphoto.jpg> to your post you will see the photo.

You aren't going to be able to easily post an PDF. Like worthy said, you will need to open a photo sharing acct at a website like Photobucket. Then, you will need to get that pdf into an "image" file, like a JPEG. Here is how I do that 1. Open the PDF file with Acrobat Reader (or the PDF viewer of your choice). Zoom in on the plan so that what you want to capture is displayed. 2. Hit "Ctrl + PrtSc" to capture the current screen 3. Go to you favorite image viewer (e.g. Windows Paint) and hit "Ctrl-P" to paste the image 4. Hit "Ctrl-S" to save te image in JPEG format and then upload to your favorite photo sharing site (e.g. Photobucket) and use that link in your post. Hope this helps! Good luck! Jaymie

Unfortunately, you cannot upload photos to your post--only to external links.

(I sure wouldn't mind if they updated their forum software.)

I use Photobucket Free.

Then....
1...just type your message,...or in this case a reply to this post, changing the Subject of Posting line by one character.
2...open Photobucket in another tab
3...find the pic you want to post in the message,
4...click on HTML code found in the third box below the pic. It will say copied in yellow,
5...go back and paste the HTML in your message box,
6...hit preview,
You will then see your message, and the actual pic,
and
7... lastly hit submit.
