TO UPLOAD A PIC DIRECTLY FROM YOUR COMPUTER...

Click on the button that says "Host an image".
Then make sure FILE is clicked, and then find the file on your computer by hitting "browse".
Then click HOST IT.
The option will be there to choose thumbnail, image or image URL.
I choose image and COPY the link and then PASTE it into the message.
Voila, an image will be uploaded to the forum FROM your computer!!!

I only figured it out a few weeks ago, too.Sorry, I should have told you all about it then...My baddddd!!!

okay so i may try it that way tonight when we have our layouts done. I can do that way right?

This is actually the way I did it when I first joined but I thought I was wrong because everyone else did it differently. I also had to set up some username & password with the website. Is it like Photobucket? I dont' know anything about that website.

If you gals want to try this tonight ,OK... but if it was me I would stick to the way I always did it, as you have until 8:20pm EST to upload!!

do you know how long I've been trying to figure this out ... ? LOL - a very very long time. I was just about to post the question and then when looking for the appropriate place to post it, found this ... thanks!

I guess it's somehting I should re-post every couple of months :-)

Oh I don't think so, Carla - it was right there under "Site Questions." I thnk it's more that I should look around with a sharper eye! LOL

HELP... i still need gallery approval before i can post any projects...
and where is this host image button you are talking about?------ i just found this way to load photos for now.. but am anxious for gallery approval

thanks for any help to follow

Approved, Bev :-) Post away!

If you're using the gallery, you don't need the "host" button. Open your pic from the gallery, right click on it. Copy the code in the "properties" box, then come back here and paste that in your message. Make sure you add the [img] and [/img] at either end of that code

let me know if you need more help!

so quick and thanks...

I don't think so? Did you try already and get that message? As far as I can see, you're good to go :-)
