Mr. Bach-Mann
How do you send photos? I read that "attachments" must be enabled but I can't find how to do it.

To attach photos to your posts, you need a photo sharing account like 'photobucket' or 'flickr' or the like.

Load your photos to your file sharing account, then copy and paste the link on your text. The photo appears on your post, without eating up the allowed memory on the forum server.

Takes a little practice at first, then becomes second nature.

Regards,

Jonathan

One thing to remember, don't move a photo a different album. Wherever you posted the photo, it will disappear in that forum. If you think th photo belongs in a new or different album, just put a second copy in the new album. Photo Bucket will warn you but I thought I would reinforce the issue now.

Again, think up what album names you will like. You can accumulate a lot of photos.

Posting photos can many times help solve a problem a lot sooner.
