Router, you may or may not have one ? Some modems on high speed accounts are routers too. Anyhow if you have one you need to allow the http webserver. Most of them are pretty simple... some just call them rules, or port forwarding, others may say applications or my main router calls them ALG (Application Level Gateway). standard for a http web server is port 80 It will want to know which lan ip and port to send port 80 to. Which is your computer that has the server program running. So something like internet port 80 send to lan port 80 on lan ip 192.168.1.100 or whatever yours is.

My experience with W8 is limited, but here's what works in other versions and i think it should be the same -Find the file name and folder name of the photo file you want to send -Enter your mail system however you do that (whether a program or a web page) -Compose or begin a new message -You should see a button somewhere that says "Attachment", "Add file", "Attach file", an image of a file or a paper clip, or some such. Click on that. -There should be a File Explorer pop-up window (used to be called Windows Explorer). Navigate to the folder, then the file, you want to attach and select it (either with a double click or by highlighting it and then clicking on the select button). Finish composing the email and then send it. If you want to practice first, send the email to yourself before composing a new one to send to someone else. If that doesn't work, post back.

I think that you have to start a thread to get the responses sent to your e-mail address. If you are responding to someone else's thread - you don't get an e-mail response. No, as of recently, both the OP and those making replies can check the box to have emails sent to them. I see below the post a follow-up box where it says A copy of further followups will be emailed to this poster. Check here if you would like post replies emailed to you. Please note that you must enable this feature on your Preferences page by checking off 'Allow other users to send you email'. island, I've found that the emails are not sent instantly, and often come through hours later. Sometimes there will be several email replies come into my email at the same time, though they had been posted at different times. I've checked the box now to get follow-ups so will report back when I get reply emails. Sue

Getting Emails Sent To You...3-step Process There are three things you have to do to get emails sent to you when someone posts to a thread you started: Be sure you have a valid/current email address in your profile Again in your profile, be sure you have the "Allow other users to send you email via forms at our site." box checked (at the bottom of the profile page) Be sure to check the box labeled "Check here if you would like copies of follow-ups to your message emailed to you" when you submit your post. (Below the "Message" box) Hmmm...maybe a 4th step...don't forget to "Save Your Member Profile" when you make changes! (button at bottom of profile page) If you do all 3 (or 4!) things, you should get an email when someone posts to your message. Note: Some members have said they still have problems getting emails. I seem to always get emails, but I have noticed that occasionally there will be a several hour delay and once there was a several day delay...I don't know why. Also, check your Junk Mail, sometimes the emails end up there. Add "gardenweb_user@gardenweb.com" to your "safe senders" list as well. If you still don't get emails, check with your internet service provider and be sure emails from GW are not being filtered out as junk before they get to you.
