Okay, I'm sure that this question has been asked a million times;however, I'm not able to find the thread that addresses it...so, here's the million and one time...

How do I post pictures on here? I have pictures that are on my computer, but I don't know how to post them on LBT...

Can anyone of you picture posting geru's tell me how you do it???

Thank you.

You can post pictures a couple of ways.

1. Insert Image: This option is available when you post a reply (not quick reply) or are in edit. The yellow icon with teh mountain on it will open a url box where you can paste in the link to your picture that is on a server or on a picture site like Photobucket. Using this option will show a link in your post, not the picture itself. In order to see the picture, people would have to click on the link that would then open a new window with the pic in it.

2. Attach Image: This is the paperclip icon on the edit screen. When you click on it, a Manage Attachments window will open. Once there, click on the Browse button to find the image you have on your computer. (Your image should be resized to about 450 pix wide or tall before trying to upload). Once the image is found and selected, click on Upload. When the upload is complete, close the Manage Attachment window and click on the paperclip icon again. You will now see the name of the pic you just uploaded. Clicking on it will insert the picture wherever your cursor is in the text box. To add more pictures, repeat the steps above and be sure your cursor is no longer on the last picture you attached.

Hope this made sense and helped

Thank you PhotoNut,

What about when you'd like to post in your journal...all I see is the add image and you need a URL for that.....

When I added my photos in my Journal I uploaded them to a photo site and then used that URL...Is there another way?

I use Snapfish.com to upload my photos (great service by the way). I upload my photos and then view them. When I get to the photo I want to post in my journal I right click on the image for the "properties". In that box you'll see a VERY long URL. I copy and paste it into my journal.

Does anyone else have another way? I've found this the easiest...
