[Russ Bellinis]

I have never posted photos to any web site. Do we have instructions anywhere on Big Blue telling people like me how to post pics?

Hi Russ,

Do you have a photobucket account with your pics on ? if not set an account up and upload your pics from the PC .... when your pics are on photobucket click the image you want to appear here in say a posting, by the right side of the picture there will be four link codes
Email & IM
Direct Link
HTML Code
IMG Code

Left click on the IMG link box and it should highlight black now right click and copy .. then on your posting here right click and paste it in your posting ....... preview your posting check its in the right place and the pic is the one you want to show and submit the post ..... your done pics sorted

Russ, you can also use the forums own posting. just go to the bottom of the posting page and in the lower left corner you will see the "upload attachment" button. When you click on that another button appears below that that allows you to "browse" your computer for the picture file. Once you have opened the file, click the "add the file" button, and it will upload. Then you can preview your post, or submit the post.
You just have to be sure the file size and picture size are not too big.

I don't have any photo bucket accounts or other web site to store my pics on, I just keep them in files in "my pictures" in the "my documents" on my desktop. I'll have to open the Gauge on my wife's computer. My white background puts all of the buttons in "stealth mode." Thanks for the replies.

Oh man, I wish we could figure out what's wrong with your computer setting to have that happen to you across the board. Probably reloading Windows would take care of it, but that's a big hassle for not knowing for sure. But, maybe you could do a Windows "repair"? Just a thought.

Thanks, Charlie. I wasn't even aware of that feature until you mentioned it. Doh!!

Here's a pic just so I can see how it works...

I have one more question on this subject. I'm not sure how to reduce the size of my pics, but I will probably figure it out. Can I post a jpeg where the veiwer would "click" on it to blow it up full size? If I do that, do the size restrictions still apply?

Hi Russ.
If you need a program to re size your photos, Irfanview is good, and easy to use. It's also free

Dear Russ
The best resizer I have found is a windows power toy but it only works with winxp. You install it and then by right clicking on the picture "resize picture" is included in the menu. By default it creates a copy, but does not change the original.
Go here and go down the right side until you find it. It won't let me post a direct link to the program.
