Nana5, it depends on the kind of pictures. If you see something online, like a website, just right click on the picture, select copy then come back to your post here and right click and select paste.

If you have digital pictures that you've taken and you want to share them in a post here, you need to have an account someone like photobucket. I signed up for a free account with them last summer when my bird Presto was a baby. Once you upload your pictures from your camera to an account (like photobucket), then copy the picture and paste it like I described in the first paragraph.

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

Thanks, Bird mama. I'll try that.

Feel free to experiment on this post. For example, let's trying posting the picture of Lori Grenier from the Q's homepage.

It also depends on what brand of computer you're using. I have a Mac and am unable to cut and paste directly here. Whether it's a jpeg I found online or something from my own camera, I have to upload everything into Photobucket and then drag the uploaded image here. Often I have to size it in order to fit. I don't think this site is optimized for Mac.

Thanks Gardensla -I should not presume that we are all working from a PC

Re: How do I put a picture in my post

Cha1k--sorry but this doesn't work, at least not on my Macbook Pro. "Right Clicking" does nothing. I have to drag the image too my desktop and rout it through Photobucket.

I've tried everything, in every browser (safari, google, firefox) and nothing else has worked.
