Clearly I'm being defeated by technology here - how do you flippin' post a pic in your post as an attachment?
Trying to post a pic and can't work it out........
I think it needs to be online somewhere you can link to, then click the yellow mountain icon to put the url of the picture into your post. If you have a picture online right click it to copy the url from the "properties".
Does this help?

It will appear as a link. If you tick the 'embed picture in post' box it... um... embeds the picture in your post (so we don't have to follow the link).
To add an image URL you click the add image button like jules said. Not tried it, but I guess the 'embed...' button would still work.
Hang on, let's give it a go... [image]http://www.220triathlon.com/images/blue/220alt_06.gif[/image]
Yep, just copied that link from the top of the page.
Any ideas that are reasonably easy to do.................
Obvious I know, but no one ever got rich underestimating their public.
Funnily enough thats the first place I looked, but dont have Picture manager!!! Obviously dont have the right version.
Or if you have Win XP try the Image Resize powertoy from microsoft Image Resizer
290 x 290 and 56k big and still no profile pic???????/
Fantastic, shrinkimage thingy worked, my picture is now small enough to use as profile/avatar. So why does it not show on the forum now???????????
1. Make sure maximum pixel dimension is 145 pixels and image is less than 100kb
2. Select the dot next to "Upload my picture (will replace the existing one)", if you skip this step the rest appears to work then doesn't.
3. Click "Upload my picture (will replace the existing one)"
4. Upload picture
5. Click "Apply" at bottom of page
6. Click "OK"
There should now be a picture box next to "Upload my picture (will replace the existing one)" which shows your avatar when you click on it.
I cant get it to appear in post.
If I view my profile its there though..
