I hope this is a suitable place for this post.    Being old and thick :headscratch: :old: I need someone to detail step by step how to put pics onto the Forum "simply"    A Samsung phone replaced my old camera some time ago but the method used to put some pics on recently was long winded and I may not remember how to repeat it! :shrug:             Terry

Hi Terry,

When we post here, we get a text box, which is where I am writing this. Below this box it says +Attachments and other options: if you click on this it will enable you to attach a photo to your post just like looking for a file. But please make the attached photos small.

The other option if you want to make your photo available to many sites then you can use a third party hosting site. AdeV has given us an area on the same server as this forum which can be reached here: https://lister-engine.com/coppermine/index.php you can safely post your photos and know that they are safe with the forum threads and they will not get exploited as you own the copyright.  There are lots of other free sites like https://postimages.org/ who will host your photos but check the copyright and we all remember what Photosuckit did all those years ago :Mad:.

P.S. I host my Sewing photos on Postimages here: https://postimg.cc/gallery/YmMdyGD I accept that they may not be available for ever

The easiest way to add pictures is to attach them to the end of your post.  You can do this by clicking on the "Attachments and other options" just below the text box for your new post (see the first pic).

Once you've done that, it will open and show you other choices.  You'll want to use the "Choose File" button below the word Attach (see second picture).  This will let you pick a JPG from your hard drive to post.

If you want to post more than one picture, click on the "(more attachments)" just below the "Choose File" button and it will make another spot to choose a file for you.  I believe you can add up to 8 attachments to a single post.

Hope that's not too wordy!

Kim
