How are you trying to post the pics Mike, what steps? Tell me and we'll go from there.

They are great pics but they are way too huge!!!

Please click on the edit button of your post and use the click hold and drag technique to make them smaller.
It really trashes the forum when the pics are that big. Thanks...

I didnt know i posted any pics. Marshall and Rob did for me. All i get on this post is the small squares with a red x

Marshall   would you please have the admins put detailed instructions on the help page on how to post photos.    Pleezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

There are two ways you can post a picture:

The first:

a. subscribe to a photo hosting site like photobuckets or others folks here use;(many are free to use)

b. load the picture from your computer to the photo hosting site;

c. copy the url for the picture;

d. click on the "Insert/Edit Image" icon on the tool bar above when you are posting a message on this forum, and paste the URL in the box; and

e. click "OK" and it should appear where you last left your cursor.

The second:

a. Print out your picture on a good photo quality printer;

b. Tear off 4 pieces of clear tape;

c. centre the picture on your monitor;

d. tape the 4 corners of the picture to your monitor; and

e. there you have it.

I prefer the first method. With the second, the picture seems to get stuck when I scroll so doesn't scroll out of the way. Did find a reasonable fix by just taping the top two corners and then lifting the photo when I wanted to see what was behind it. A little awkward though.

Highwinds directions are correct indeed. Thanks Highwind.

18 degrees, you think I've never asked? 

The area just under where it says "Your Message" is the toolbar. The third icon from the right, is the "Insert / Edit Image" icon. The "Image Properties" dialog box will open. Paste the web accessable URL of your  picture where it says in the picture above "Paste URL Here". Then click the "OK" icon in the "Image Properties" dialog box.

If you need any more help, please ask or send a PM.

Considering the number and average size of the pics that get posted here, I'm not sure I understand why it is necessary to involve a third party (the image hosting service) to post a pic? Why can't they be uploaded directly to Abby's? Surely only a couple gigabytes of space on the server could be allocated to this purpose, which would be enough for many hundreds of pics....and if the need ever arose older pics could be deleted to make way for new ones. I understand why image hosting serves the needs of some, but I have not been filled with confidence in my limited experience with them.

I have been extremely pleased with PhotoBucket.  They can't make it any easier for you that I can tell.

Memory costs money, why pay for something that can be acquired for free?  Abby's makes it as easy as could be to link to your web host also.

My .2 anyway.

OOPS!

Sorry about the edit.

Holy cow got to post a picture of the best lawn prfessional in the world

Cute little girl, your daughter I presume?

What did you do different, use a different hosting service?

That is a beautiful child, Mike. Thanks for the laugh.

My problem is that I don't have a tool bar that shows up when I go to post a message. Don't know why.

Ever since I switched over to a MacBook Pro laptop, I don't even get the options tool bar that allows for attachments. In addition to that, everything I type ends up in one looooong paragraph. Don't know what happened to cause that? Be nice if someone had a fix for it.

I'm glad to here someone else is having this problem that is using a Mac. I have the same issues also with all the text just running together so to speak. I don't know what to check. Or whether it's a Mac computer issue or a browser issue. I'm using Safari. Hope someone chimes in with a fix.

It seems to be an issue with Safari.  I use a mac as well, and have the same long paragraph/toolbar issues on with Safari.  Works fine with Firefox.  Pity, because Safari is such a good browser.

Thanks for the info. At least I know now that it's the browser. Not the Mac platform.

You were right.  I just downloaded and installed Firefox.  I'm using it right now. And guees what?

Just testing.

I downloaded and installed Firefox.  Have the toolbar back and attaching a pic I took in Hawaii of an old Wheel Horse lawn tractor.
