Thanks hopefulauther - Aeonium, will try and source one [or two] of those down. Chemocurl - no problems at all copy/paste and quote all you want,,,,if it means getting pictures posted, I'm all for it. Many message boards don't seem to have decent instructions on posting pics, if they have any info at all. Guess that's where we all come in :-)

Go with Photobucket as Kate suggested. I am sooooo easily frustrated with computers and now that I'm dealing w/Photobucket, no more stress. I downloaded my photos right off the memory card into "My Pictures" and once they were saved on my computer, I then was able to download right into Photobucket, one at a time. Very, very easy. Photobucket will then give you (I think 4 different options) as to how you want to copy and paste them into different sites. Like Kate said, click on HTML, it will highlight and tell you "copied" and then paste it right into your GW post. Once you're done, click "Preview" and your photos will magically appear. I was so thrilled! Good luck! Sue.

For clickable links on Firefox, I use the free BBCodeXtra add-on (recommended by a GWebber some years back). Just paste into the Message box the address you want to make into a clickable link, then use the mouse to highlight the address, right-click on the highlighted area, hover the mouse over xhtmlXtra in the pop-up box (this pop-up is simply a larger version of the pop-up which you have now, with Copy, Paste, etc.), then left-click on URL in the next pop-up box. And that's it. If you don't use Firefox, you can add the html yourself. Make a document in MS Word (or whatever you use) with the html code. Then whenever you want to make a clickable link, open up that word-processing document, copy the html code in that document, paste it into your GW message, and add the url you want to link to. It's a bit tricky to put that in this post so the html is visible; let's see if this works: (a href="address of the web page you want to link to")name of the link(/a) But replace ( with the "less than" symbol which is on your keyboard when you shift with the comma key. And replace ) with the "greater than" symbol which is on your keyboard when you shift with the period key. address of the web page you want to link to needs to include http:// (or https://). name of the link is simply how you want the clickable link to appear in your post. You can give it a name or simply have the entire url appear. In BBCodeXtra, the url will show up there, but you can remove that part and put in whatever you want. In Preview, what you see is what will be there in the final post. So photos should be visible in Preview, links should work in Preview, etc. If it's not working in Preview, there's a problem you need to fix. === GW has a Test subforum where you can try things out. You can find it linked at the bottom of this page. Unfortunately, it seems the mods are now deleting old posts there, so you can't see helpful comments on past posts. There's also a Computer Help subforum where folks sometimes make test posts. Good luck!

I use Photobucket.com, siging up was free. I log-in to Photobucket then I upload a picture from my computer to Photobucket. When it has loaded onto photobucket, I hover over the picture with my mouse until a little box pops up with links. I click the HTML link and the computer automatically saves the link. Then, I go back to GW (usually I just keep it up on another window) and CTRL-V into my post. --- Not sure if that is enough info to help, but that is all I know! There are some really great tutorials floating around here. That is how I learned. Hopefully someone will post one. Good luck!
