I need a leg out on a step by step loading from My Pictures on my computer onto the Chat site here. I have some great Art Deco building pics I want to share. Thanks to anyone who can help me, with my low knowledge in this area.

Reply #2 - Apr 15^th, 2012 at 11:30am Thanks Annie I am aware of the Browse and I can get to the point where I select the 4 allowed photos. But from there I'm lost. How do I get those four selections to the Chat post? I got lost on some kind of Mocrosoft word thing.

Reply #3 - Apr 16^th, 2012 at 10:30am I hadn't noticed the "Browse" button before, as I upload my photos to an external site (either Photobucket or Flickr) before I post them, but I just decided to give it a try doing what Annie said. Here's what happened after I clicked on "Post Message":

Thank you, Frances. I thought it was right, but my photograph was too large.

So it would appear that, for some things, size does matter.....

There's probably some guidelines somewhere but, if there are, I can't find them. Does anyone know what the maximum allowable size of images is? Most of my photos are 800 pixels wide (some of the older ones are 600) and I've posted them without any problems at all, although they are posted as links to Photobucket or Flickr rather than being posted directly to the site.

Reply #7 - Apr 16^th, 2012 at 11:14am I usually use flickr/photobucket too and have posted photographs that exceed the 250kb limit. So yes, it is only for pictures that will be hosted here. I think. Perhaps someone a bit more tech savvy can help Red figure out what is going on.

O.K. Death, you're probably stringing me along however, I can get the image I want into the box on the left of Browse, the file details that is. But how do I actually post it onto the site.

I have tried Save and also Alt and s.

Is there something else I should be doing because that ain't working for me. Thanks. Red Baron.
