Technical problem that *should* be solvable but isn't. I have Vista. Anyway, I cannot post photos on WrongPlanet. What I can do, and have done, is give a URL link to SmugMug (for instance) so WP user can click, access. (I no longer have SmugMug account, btw). But WHY can't I insert a photo here? Why? Why is this format any different from inserting into an email message or document, for ex? Yes, I've reformatted my photos - no avail. I do want to sometimes post a photo. Frustrating.....

Ok, IT.....give it your best shot. Thanks!

Vista shouldn't be a problem, the bar above the message body, there are a set of small icons the 3rd one from the left, click on it and add the URL of the picture you want to show, now your going to have to add any personal pictures to a photo website such as photobucket http://photobucket.com/, I prefer to use googles picasa software which allows you to upload your pictures to the picasa website http://picasa.google.com/

Hello LabPet,

I suggest you sign onto photobucket.

http://photobucket.com/register/?link=topmenu

Then to put the photos straight onto WP you type in the link with [img]url%20link[/img]. Here's a made up example:

[img]url%20link[/img].

Then the photo will show up like this:



Have fun.

Thanks! I'll try. I wish I could just insert from my documents - guess that would be too easy.

Thanks! It worked, tech support. Check out the 'Getting To Know You' Forum, I'm on the last 2 pgs now.
