Wait for FGRV to upload the picture from your computer. When it is finished, you will see an additional box on your screen (As seen in pic below) This tells you all is well and uploaded.

Once you see the box, and you have no more text to write, lick on "Add Reply" button

If you want to post MORE than one pic, you may do so by going back UP to the "Browse" button and adding another before you reply.

Just repeat the procecess in the posts above. Click "add Reply" when finished!

In your posting box, you will see, in brackets, something like this: "attachmentid=xxx". Continue to type AFTER the brackets. Hit the "Add reply" button when finished, and your post will look just like this one does.

You cannot preview a post with pictures in it. Don't let that confuse you, Like my little dog is here

Next...a window will pop up and you will have to find the file (Picture) you want to post.

Highlight it and click "Open" on the pop up.

When I highlight it, it jumps to the post page and displays this message:

Upload failed. The file was larger than the available space

I solved this by emailing the picture to myself, saving it in another folder and then following these instructions except for the upload button I mention in another post.

Actually you have to click on the "upload" button.

Thanks Roger. These details change as time passes and systems are upgraded. It's a bear to keep up with all the little changes... which is why it's sometimes better to stay "intentionally vague."

Yep, you will note the screen shots don't even match what actually happens anymore.

The process is generically the same..

I will update this when I have time.
