Can somebody tell me how to post photos on this forum. My luddite self has trouble with simple tech stuff sometimes.

Alright... maybe someone else will be able to simplify the language or whatever, but here's how it goes.
1. Upload a picture at an image hosting site like Flickr or Photobucket (read below)*
2. Once that image is online, right click on it and then click "copy image location" or whatever similar wording your browser uses.
3. Come back to RealCent, and open a "post" or "reply" window up. Can't use the "quick reply," you will need to use the one with the full editor.
4. At the top of the post/reply box, there will be a row of "buttons." One of them will say IMG. Click that and some simple HTML stuff will come up in brackets. Position your cursor between the two inner brackets, and then right click and click paste. (Or press CTRL-v which is the keyboard shortcut for paste).
4. Then click PREVIEW if you want to test to see that it looks the way you expect! Or just hit POST and VOILA! There's your picture!

* Here's a list of several image hosting sites. I can't vouch for the quality or reliability of all of them, but I have used flickr and photobucket.

I picked this right off my computer.

No need to upload to a hosting site and a url and all that.
Just use the add an attachment option. Then browse. Place inline. Then the img button. That's what cool about this new forum site.

cool. Here's an example of the process I just described.

Shameless promotion, I know. Shameless. The only way it could be worse is if I said something like... BID BID BID!

Thank you very much for the info, I got it now!

Getting this usb going...this is a 1998 WAM.....still trying to capture the whole coin clearly.

I keep trying to load from my desk top, it keeps saying these pics are too large? I mean, this is a basic 10 mp, I could not imagine that these should be a problem, but they are!

Any suggestions on suppression?

open the picture file on your PC in microsoft Paint and resize it. I have to do this with all of my photos to get them to the correct size.

I think 1000 pixels is the max. I had the same problem in Denver trying to post from my phone which is 8MP

thanks guys.... testing

Can anyone give a definitive answer to the max photo size for posting?
What dimensions and file size?

I tried to post larger file and huge pixels and here are the messages.

The file is too big, maximum allowed size is 256 KiB.

Your images may only be up to 1050 pixels wide.
