hi Terry

when you click on the paperclip symbol, in the top right hand corner there is a button called Add Files, click that, and then at the next pop up box, click Select Files.

that should take you to your computer's photo files

each photo has to be under a specific size Terry. try making them smaller before uploading them

Terry, photos need to be 2mb or under. If they are over you need to resize, either on your camera or via a resizing program on your computer. If you hover your mouse arrow over a picture it will tell you what size it is.

it will be the size of them Terry. if you've loaded them straight from your camera, chances are they are big pics individually. I use Paint to crop my pics by 75% before uploading.

I got a new camera just before christmas and tried uploading some piccies to the forum and it wouldn't let me, turns out they were too big. I got really mad coz I thought my new camera wasn't compatible with TF!!! Turns out that resizing them was a 2 minute job on the camera

2400x1200 is the limit.

Problem is with pictures that are too big for the forum, is they're too big for the internet, and the screens viewing them too. Once a picture gets certain size it's fine for the net, but if you want to ever print one off it's sometimes better to have a bigger version (which then creates a clearer image). Most camera's that you guys buy these days have images far to big for the forum, but you can get free software for the PC that makes them smaller, or allows you to make a version that is smaller. So try to do that when you can for your website and our forum. As it makes the browsing easier and quicker.
