or a larger size than what it says when it won't post the damn picture?

How does a person post more than one picture?

I use Photobucket myself, as usual with most sites, have to join (it's free, just a username & password required) just upload the picture from your computer (there's a place for this) after upload, there's a option to Edit this Image, click on that, will ask for what size you want, choose that, I usually choose message board (it's next to the biggest size) have to click on replace original, after it's done, go to where it's (img)etc........ (the very bottom code) highlite the entire code (if any of it is missing, it won't work) the code is longer then what is shown, have to highlite it until it moves ahead, to get the full code.
After it's all highlighted, drag & copy it to the barre on your browser (I have Firefox myself) repeat the same operation for more pictures, that's how one get's more then one pic.
Then of course the rest is go to this site, open a post, & drag & drop the code's, (from your browser barre) only thing is, one has to be deleted, (there's two of the same (IMG)...Etc...otherwise one get's the same pic. twice, I don't know why this is?? hit F5 on your keyboard after you post it (a trick I learned from Open G) & that's how I do it.

I was putting in one picture at a time per the Browse feature and I guess it is not possible to load more than one picture using that particular feature. Photobucket sounds easier to work with. I will see if I can do it. THANKS AGAIN.

Okay I have been messing with this new forum for a while now and I have the font changes almost down in a way sorta.... Undecided

I am having trouble with the photos again. Is the only way to post photos of a larger size than 100 KB is to upload
on Flickr or Photobucket or wherever? My photos are larger than the size indicated just from selecting from my
own photo albums and not from Photobucket or a site like that. Until I get my degree in Rocket Science I am still befuddled
as to how to do the photos in particular not to mention the thousand and one ways one can probably do the font
changes!!!

I don't want to upload all my pictures in a site like Photobucket, or Flickr if possible. I would rather just select from
my own photo album but it appears I am restricted by size.

Any info or help would be greatly appreciated. Linda

Well just select the pics you want to show on a thread and upload them to Photobucket.
no need to upload all your pics at once - your Bucket account will eventually grow.

...or am I missing something?
