computer question is that allowed?

[oscer]

I tried to attach pictures to a post yesterday and failed. I used microsoft office picture manager to downsize the file, typed the file name in manage attachments, and clicked upload. It said uploading please wait, but you could tell it wasn't doing anything. I don't know why. thanks for any help.

Sorry to get off track from the original thread... but I'll try to answer this. It might help other TBN members?
First, I always resize the pictures in my computer so they are not too big for dial-up members. I went to this site to get a free Microsoft image resizer. Free Image Resizer Once installed, it is very easy to use and automatically pops up as an option when you right mouse click on a picture in your computer. Then you "re-size" the picture. If you search the web, there are several free image re-sizers to choose from.

Then you can go to this site to get a free web host for your pictures. I use Photobucket...it's free. Free Image and Video Hosting - Photo Image Hosting Site : Photobucket.com

Open an account and upload your re-sized images. There are all kinds of things you can do. I make a folder for each topic and upload my photos into that folder. Just follow the directions...it's pretty easy once you get used to it.
Once the picture is uploaded, it will appear in your account. Directly below the thumbnail photo is a square box (on the left below the thumbnail). Check that box and scroll down to the bottom of the page. There will be several buttons...choose the one on the far right that says "Generate HTML and IMG code" and click it.
Then a new screen appears with several rectangles...go to the third one down that says "IMG clickable thumbnails for message boards - recommended" and right mouseclick on that.
Also log onto TBN and make a post. Then copy that and paste the stuff from Photobucket into the post you are replying to. If you do it right, when you preview your post, it will show up as a "clickable thumbnail" like mine do. You can (should have) both browsers open ...one logged into Photobucket and for TBN so you can work between the two. Try that.


Try this set up most of us love this set up for posting pics hear

Don't type it in,use the Browse feature to find it on your computer or use Timber's method.I use both at times.

Yep, I think that's the problem.

Thanks Timber, I downloaded the image resizer, joined photobucket and tried uploading to it . Same results, it says uploading but nothing happens.

Are you sure that it hasn't just simply finished uploading, and then is waiting for you to close the window and submit the pics?

Sound Guy, Yeah it's finished now. I went and voted and came back and it was done must take a long time with this dial up connection.

errr-no its not it still has 0 pic. in folder.

I don't know what your doing wrong. are you doing 1 picture at a time or several. You hit the brows button and it goes to my pictures on the computer, then click on the folder and hit open, then click the picture and hit open again the hit upload. even with dile up it should be quick

He said he 'typed the file name in manage attachments, and clicked upload'.

I'm not sure he's still trying to do it that way. He never responded to previous posts
