There are two ways to post a picture. I will try to be as detailed as possible, but if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask!

The first way, using the Insert Picture button. This method will only work if you are using the Enhanced Interface text box. For instructions on how to activate that, please see the User CP tutorial in this section.

First, you need to start a new thread:

Second, you need to click on the Insert Picture Icon, shown below:

If you get the following warning, please click on it and select Temporarily Allow Scripted Windows. If you are not comfortable doing this, please use the second way of posting pictures.

You will need to click on the Insert Picture button again, and a window will pop up with a text box. You will need to put the LINK to your picture here.

After you put your link in the text box, click ok, and the image will be loaded into your post. You will be able to resize it, and move it within the text box.

The second way, BBCode.

Start a new thread:

Input the IMG code for your picture, like the following:

Using this method, you are unable to resize your pictures within the text box. However, you do not have to allow the scripted windows.

When you are finished posting, click Submit New Thread at the bottom.

I admit that I am tech challenged. How do I post a picture from my Android phone? Can post a photo directly from the gallery on my phone?

I just did this from my Ipad...assuming it works the same..go down to .Go Advanced.....vvvvv below.
Click that..then you will see manage attachments...click that...you will see a bunch of oval bubbles that say choose file...click the oval bubble...Then Choose Existing...click that. Then you should see your camera roll..choose your pic..then you will see upload ..bottom right. Choose that. You can repeat for more than one picture..then close the window and submit reply!

I'm worse then you steve.
Go on your cell and log into the forum, reply to this post and write a word, then scroll down to advanced , pick that then you hit the box for the first image and it asks you to take a pic or upload existing, pick upload existing and it brings you to your camera roll, then you take a picture and hit upload, wait a minute. Once it uploads hit close and it puts it on your post, then hit reply... Its a bunch more steps but it works. To add more then one you add one then hit return on your keyboard then repeat the proceds

No wayy..you are never a lost cause..

Right under the reply box..like a normal reply...is Go Advanced...that's where you begin..there is "post quick reply" and " Go Advanced."...

You don't need to say anything..can go directly to Go Advanced...then manage attachments...then choose file...then Choose Existing..upload and reply

Okay, once you choose the file and upload it, how does the pic get attached to your post?

That happens often with IPhone pics..there's a way to fix them..but I don't know how. I find it's usually the vertical ones..weird..

Cowsmom knows how to fix them....I will get her to tell you..

Lol! My..you are hard on yourself! And..just to make sure...you are "choose Existing" right? When you say stored pictures...stored not on your phone? Not from an album on your phone, maybe a PC? I think if that's the case, you will need to do the other way, thru photobucket or the like or with an image code.
