O.k. so I'm a big zero when it comes to computers and I have no clue how to post a picture on BNA.

I tried to click on the little picture symbol above and it says "image URL". What the hell is a URL?

Thanks...

OK, so you're looking around on the web (or perhaps on Flickr), and you see a photo that you wanna post here.

Using your mouse, you put the cursor (the little arrow thingie) onto the middle of the photo, right-click on the photo (meaning that you press the right-hand mouse button, instead of the left one which we all normally use) and a bunch of stuff comes up in a little window for you to choose from.

In that list, you want the one that says "properties". Left-click on "properties". A little window will come up. What you want is under "location"

Copy the properties, making sure that it ends in .jpg
(You don't want any gobbledygook after .jpg)

Click on the little "photo" icon, second from the right, and then paste those properties into the new space that it gives you. Click on "post now", and that should do it.

Now, you can post useless photos like this one:

O.K. let me try...

Nope!!! I know, I'm an idiot with these things...
Will it save my reputation if I tell you that I was distracted bt my dog?
Let me try again...

Last try:

Thank you very much Static but I give up for tonight...
Maybe I'll try again tomorrow...

Looks like it worked on that last try, travelclown.

Thanks to the helpful instructions by the handsome, slim and gifted teacher.

It did? If it did then why can't I see the picture?

Yes, I truely appreciate it!

Yet I still can't see it!...

I had to try again...
O.K. so apparently this is it. It's there but...

Curious, I can see the image in your post from yesterday, but the file doesn't end in .jpg (or any other recognizable file extension). When I copy the image location and open it in a new browser window, it asks me whether I want to download it but won't display it.

What I don't understand is why I can see it in that post

Can you save it as a .jpg file? Then if you try again it should show up OK.

You can see it?!? REALLY?!?



O.k. so let me get this clear. YOU SEE A PICTURE IN MY POST BUT I DON'T. Hummmm... Is that normal?

Let me transfer you a .jpg pic so maybe you can make sense of all this...

O.k. I can't find any... You can find here the pic I was trying to transfer

Please help me. Can anyone manage to transfer one of them?

I don't think that Picasa will let you post the big ones.

Hey it's working!!! I just noticed that for some pictures the address was so long that I wasn't copying the whole thing...

Thanks again Static!
