Hey Pete..!!

Aww - don't worry about it - just glad it working!!!

Howdy Tom A....!!!!

LOL!!!! OK - you are my "challenge for the day. You WILL be able to post pictures as soon as you read this.. Ready???

1 - Forget EVERYTHING you THINK you know about posting pictures because - well - whatever it is, it's obviously wrong...

2 - Let's start with the most common picture type - "JPG" pictures. On your computer, find a picture you would like to post - (preferably about Lugers <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> ) and name it something like "tomspicturetest.jpg". No spaces, no wierd punctuation marks, etc. - and check that the "size" of the pic is less then "180.0 KB"...

3 - follow me here (click on the following link):
http://boards.rennlist.com/lfupload/lfupload.html
You'll see a page open - and follow those instructions. In short - all you'll do is "browse" to the picture on your computer - and "upload" it with that button....

4 - After your picture is uploaded - under the picture - you'll see the saying "Copy this" - it's the "location of your pic. Will look like this:

http://boards.rennlist.com/lfupload/tomspicturetest.jpg

Just "select" that name with your mouse - and "Copy iit"

5 - Great - now your pic is uploaded..!!!!

6 - now, come on back to the Forum and click on "new topic" or "post reply"

7 - You'll see this button:

Click on it - and "paste" the name of your pic into the box that appears...

8 - Post your reply - and the pic will be right there!!!

Now - total time to do all this stuff is about 5 seconds - but first time through is kind'a longer... But - when you have a minute - try the above steps, and let me know where you are getting stuck, OK??

Best to you!
