@AnonymousI hope you don't mind if I don't get involved in this thread....but I will be observing it with interest?

I do know that you have indicated getting pictures to three different areas. As far as I know when I do it from my laptop..it involves a different procedure for each one. (I shall wait to see if I am doing it wrong)

Cleo is correct in that different places need different processes, so I'll start with here:

From this screen click the "Tree" icon and a box will open up.

Then click "Chose File" and you will see another box to choose the picture you want to post.

Select the picture from your directory on laptop.PC and click "Open", then click "Insert Image"

Add any text you want to the post and click the "Post" button - Voila

Once the photo is on your PC it's fairly straight forward.

First of all click on reply and then the little 'tree' icon on the menu bar:

Then click browse and it should go to the your libraries menu. Select pictures and click on the one you want to post.

Click 'open' and then it will show the photo ready to be inserted.

Simply click insert and the photo should then be posted for you.

Then it should look something like this:

Correct!! (and with pictures)

Could I add one thing though? if you want to WRITE anything in that post, its better to do it before you upload the picture...I can never find a space once pic is uploaded?....

The cursor is always alongside the picture, so just hit the return key and a new line will be inserted beneath the picture.

Could I ask one more question? When you do those screen shots how on earth do you do the arrows and circles in red like that?

I just open the screenshot in a programme called Paint. I'm not sure to be honest if that comes preinstalled on Windows 7 or whether it's part of Microsoft Office. My memory ain't too clear these days

My scruffy freehand ones are just by using the pen function in the sniping tool - jonsie's more professional ones look like paint or some other editing software

Re: picture posting ...

jonsie — Tue, 01 Jul 2014 22:13:31 GMT

Yes it's Paint and does come installed with windows 7 :
