How do I attach a photo?

I thought you did it through the attachments bit, but can't remember how?

1.Go to attachments below your post and click on it. 

2.  then click Browse.

3.  find your photo and (having made sure it has a unique name - add your own initials is one good way to ensure this) check that the size is OK - 600dpi maximum on longest side is recommended for most boards, . . . . .  but for photo restores you can post up to 500kBs at 300dpi scan if possible.

4 if you are attaching snips for deciphering for example, make sure they are snips, not whole pages which could infringe copyright.

Cheers, and I hope that helps.  See attachment to this post for assistance.

Hi Wiggy

I tried to attach a snippet on a post last night and although the attachment button was there and could click on it there was no 'browse' option. This happened on another thread I was on. Is there a reason for that ?

Don't know about that - PM Sarah or Trystan for that sort of answer I think!

Cheers Wiggy, it was worth a shot

I don't know much - I just know what I know!

By the way if you are trying to change/alter a post, you won't see the attachments thingy unless you go to modify  (top right hand corner of post.) - you won't find it if you click on the little edit thingy in the bottom right hand corner of your post.

Like my erudite language here?

No wasn't trying to change or alter a post. I just found it a bit odd as the attachment thingy wasn't on another thread I'd contributed to. But a few of us on that thread were equally confused.

Doesn't take much to confuse these days

I wonder if it is a thread which doesn't take attachments - - -  I haven't noticed such things, but maybe there are threads like that.       What thread was it? . . .  might go and have a look and see if I have the attachments ability there.

Not much help am I?  I get easily confused too.
