Need some advice and procedures on attaching photos/attachments to new or existing threads. Really need this info since I hardly ever attach anything. Plus, Do not know how!!!!! A dummy when it comes to the specialties of the computer.

It would seem you have figured out the smilies.

When you are replying to a thread, or starting one, there is a box marked choose file. Click the box and find your pic then click add this. I use photobucket. Just copy the pic you want then paste it in the body of the reply.

not a computer expert but try this:

first, make sure your pic is not too big. there are free things that you can use to resize them.

when/if you hit "Reply" to a thread, look under the smilies (on the left is a big page of dancing bananas, drinking heads, happy birthday, this thread is worthless w/o pix, etc) to a line that has "File Attachments" a blank box, then a "Browse" button, and then an "Add this Attachment" button.

Hit the browse button and find the file name of the pic you want to attach, select the pic, OK then hit Add This Attachment. then move your cursor in the Reply panel where you want to add the pic, then below the file name will be in a location and you then "Add This" and after Uploading your reply, it should be there.

... or wait until Andy directs you to a thread that explains it...

i think the little icon with the tree that says - insert image - throws alot of people off - maybe this icon should be titled - insert image link/url.

also - if the insert image section were up higher on page - as example below - this might help too?

This reflects the new location for the oil tank, battery, oil tank breather lines and the heater lines from the engine to the heat exchangers
