Posting Pictures Problem

[Green Dweller Beloved]

Hi,
Sorry to get technical here, but I'm trying to post some photo's here and am struggling. When I press the 'insert image' button, which is next to the 'insert hyperlink' button I get a small window appear which says:-

Explorer user prompt
Script Prompt
Enter the text to be formatted.

I was hoping to to be able to browse to the location of my pic's on my HDD.

Any clues

Cheers
GDB

I think the "Text to be formatted" has to relate to the url of a picture already hosted on the net. AFAIK you can't link to an image on your own computer. Most people who show pics in their posts will use a picture hosting site, imageshack.us is the one I use but I won't make any claims about which one is best

I don't have a hosting service, so I upload pictures from my computer to "My Photos" on the BCUK gallery and then use the URL that the site gives them to post them in posts.

Have a poke about in the Gallery and you should be able to work it out............I did and I'm a complete numpty when it comes to teknowlojey!

if you go on photobucket and register an account (which is easy just need ur email addy) then you load up your pics on there, once youve done that there will be 3 script boxes under it click on the bottom box (which will then flash copied) and past that into the script box that appears when you go to insert an image

Thanks so far for your help.

What I want to do is actually have the picture in the post rather than to have people have to click on the link to be taken to another site.

I didn't expect to link back to a file on my PC, more so to upload a file on my PC to BCUK or something so it would appear in my actual posting.

Does what you are describing enable me to do this?

Thank You

Yup, for all three posts! However you need to be careful with the size of the image, too big, and it makes the page wider than most people's screens/browsers. I usually make my pics as thumbnails so people can click them to get to the bigger pic if they want.

Brirish Red also posted a superb tutorial which you should be able to find if you search through his posts...
