I see posts with pictures..that really help.. 

But I don't know how to do that. 

How is that done,? Is it easy to do?.....

Or can explain to this unknowing one. 😳

@DesertGems  It's very simple to do, you can take a picture with your phone or copy a picture off your computer, and save it to you desktop (like I do), and then when making a post or replying, just click on the little box on the top of this comment box with the mountain/moon drawing (if you hover your cursor over the little box, it was say "insert/edit image", click on it, choose your file (or image) and then attach the picture from your desktop by clicking on the "insert image".

Give it a try and if you run into problems, just respond, and I or someone else can help walk you through.

You can also right-click to copy or save an image you see on a website.

If you copy an image then just paste it in your post. The copy/paste option doesn't work for all images but it will work for many. 

If you right-click and save an image to your files then just drag it from your files and choose insert (from the options at the top of your posting window) and post the image that way.

@SilleeMee    When this method is used, many posters seem to just get the dreaded green box.

I've never known how to add images, so thanks to everybody!  Now that you know my level of know-how on these forums is minimal, can you tell me how to start a new post? I'm embarrassed to even ask due to the many years I've been here but, here we are.   

Thanks in advance!

Are you asking about how to start a new thread?

To do that just choose the forum where you want to start your new thread. Then look at the top-left for NEW MESSAGE in a red box. Click that to start a new thread.

Thank you, All!

@SilleeMee  Yes!  Thank you! Thread.   NOW I see the red box.  I thought I was going crazy!  I didn't see the box before, LOL.  Now I'm going to practice posting an image.
