| How to Add Pics to Your Posts I will try to explain as simply as I can how you too can add a picture or graphic to your posts in threads. If you have questions I will start a thread and you can leave your questions there. I will update this page as necessary. I am assuming you have already clicked on reply and have a box open. You should have a screen that looks sort of like this:  Click on the small icon that looks like a mountain with a sun in the sky:  A secondary screen will open up like the one below:  You can add graphics one of three ways: 1. On the left hand side will be a list of Communities you belong to or visit. You can click on one of those names and it will open all the albums in that Community.  Then you can click on an album. The pictures in that album will eventually show up in the right hand column. I need to warn you though, if the album has a lot of pictures it will take a while for them all to show up.  Then you need to click on a picture, it will highlight red around the picture.  Then click on the bar that says Add Photos. TaDa! You have a picture in your reply.  2. If you have a picture on your computers hard drive you wish to post it's just a tad different. You will need to click on My Computer.  Then you will need to click on Browse.  If you know where your pictures are kept this is very helpful. I keep my in folders labeled so I know where to look.  Click on the picture you wish to post. Then click on the button that says open. The information will automatically post into the necessary areas.  Again click on the button that says Add Photos and you will have added one of your own personal photos. * Just a note here. Photos you add this way takes up your online storage space. If you wish to use a picture over and over again I would recommend that you add you picture to a photo album in a Community you belong to and use it from there. 3. The last way to add a picture is by using one of MSN graphics. It's great if you are having problems finding something you want to post.  This time when you click on the mountain go to Clipart Gallery. Click on that tab and a list will show up on the left handside. The list is of categories of pictures.  Click on one of the categories. A small selection of pictures will show up on the right hand side. Click one of the pictures and it will highlight red around the picture.  Click Add Photos. Your done. You have a picture in your message. Depending on how you want to do it, you can either type your message first then add a picture or add a picture and then type your message. It's your choice. Hopefully this has help you some. If you have questions please post them in the thread in the General Message Board, titled Posting Pictures. Coming soon how to add a border around your pictures. |
