Hi Yonks

Are you talking about posting a photo to RC? Or somewhere else?

If trying to post to RC, there is a link at the bottom of message boxes called ‘Attachments and other options’. You need to click on that link. It will open up a box with the word ‘Attach’ above it. On the right hand side of the box, you will see a button that says ‘Browse’.

Click on ‘Browse’ and it will open up the files/folders where you should have your photos stored on your computer. You need to search through your files/folders to find your photo. Double click on the photo you want and it will load some text into the box that basically ‘gives directions’ as to where your photo can be found on your PC.

After you have typed your message in the normal message box, just hit the ‘Post’ button and all will upload to Rootschat including your photo.

Does that give you enough info to have a go?

Cheers
