I can't figure out how to get photo's from my Vista Windows Photo Gallery to a thread. Do I need to move them to something like Snapfish first.. or?????

Jim,

This is from the FAQ:

How do I attach a file to a post?

To attach a file to your post, you need to be using the main 'New Post' or 'New Thread' page and not 'Quick Reply'. To use the main 'New Post' page, click the 'Post Reply' button in the relevant thread.

On this page, below the message box, you will find a button labelled 'Manage Attachments'. Clicking this button will open a new window for uploading attachments. You can upload an attachment either from your computer or from another URL by using the appropriate box on this page. Alternatively you can click the Attachment Icon to open this page.

To upload a file from your computer, click the 'Browse' button and locate the file. To upload a file from another URL, enter the full URL for the file in the second box on this page. Once you have completed one of the boxes, click 'Upload'.

Once the upload is completed the file name will appear below the input boxes in this window. You can then close the window to return to the new post screen.

What files types can I use? How large can attachments be?

In the attachment window you will find a list of the allowed file types and their maximum sizes. Files that are larger than these sizes will be rejected. There may also be an overall quota limit to the number of attachments you can post to the board.

How do I add an image to a post?

If you have uploaded an image as an attachment, you can click the arrow next to the 'Attachment Icon' and select it from the list. This will be inserted into your post and can be located where you want it displayed.

To include an image that is not uploaded as an attachment and is located on another website, you can do so by copying the full URL to the image, (not the page on which the image is located), and either pressing the 'Insert Image' icon or by typing
after it, ensuring that you do not have any spaces before or after the URL of the image. You can insert pictures from your albums (?) in this way too.




Hope this helps.
 
the420trooper...Nice! I've wondered that myself, several times. Funny how, if you know where to look, the information is right under your nose (I forgot about the FAQ's too, Jim! :D).

from photo gallery right click and drag the pic you want to the desktop release the right mouse button and select copy here..

then follow 420's instructions navigating to the desktop when prompted for a location of the image.. it saves time rather than dig through all the folders to find where vista keeps them
 
Thanks guys. I'll try that tomorrow. Gotta drive 3 hours each way today to get to Red Shoes and meet up with Dennis, Sailor, maybe Freddie The Beard, John Lavin and many others. It will be a long and tireing day and I'll love it. The last time I made that trip I whiled away the 3 hours coming home by re-visiting memorable moments of the day.

Maybe I can get some photos and get them posted! I think I've learned how to take photos indoors with no flash using my new Panasonic Lumix camera.

I guess this answers my question. I'll see you later.
