IF YOU WANT TO POST YOUR OWN PERSONAL PICTURES FROM YOUR COMPUTER - 2 THINGS:
FOR NON-SUPPORTING MEMBERS:YOU NEED TO UPLOAD THEM TO AN ON-LINE PICTURE ACCOUNT LIKE PICTURETRAIL BEFORE YOU CAN POST THEM ON THIS SITE.

To post pics from your picture hosting account or from any picture on the web:
Step 1:
open a second browser window and navigate to the picture you want to include in your forum post. Using your mouse, right click over that picture, then left click "properties".

Step 3: Return to the open browser window where your CT post edit box is open and click on the "Image" button shown below:
Step 4: An editing box will pop up, paste the address there as shown. to paste address: click on the border of the edit box and type CTRL/V at the same time. Your picture's web address should appear in the box as shown below:
Step 4:Click OK or hit enter. Your picture with the proper display code should appear in your post edit box as shown below.
You can bypass the image button pop-up if you feel confident by simply pasting the picture URL directly onto your post editing box and type the code in the position as shown in the red out lines. [image] in the front of the address and [/image] at the end.
Tony,
I have had very good luck just right clicking whatever pic i want, and left click "save as". i then save it to my pictures, or just the desktop. then browse for the pic to attach in my post.
