    Excellent advice! :goodpost:

    @Valley Gardener if you are using a PC to browse the forum, you can also open the folder on your PC that contains the pictures you want to post, then drag them and drop them into the text box where you would write your message.

    It will then appear below the text box like this:

    upload_2024-4-23_18-54-29.png

    If you then click on the Full Image button, it will insert the image in line with your text, as I have done with the image above, or indeed this one:

    20240414_153112.jpg

    PS - the photo of the cute but ever-so slightly bedraggled dog just out of the bath is free... :biggrin:

      I find the mountain symbol needs a URL, so only really works for pictures on the web, to get pictures from your PC its best to use the "Upload file" button at the bottom.:smile:

        @Valley Gardener and @ViewAhead , if you want to find other members there's a search facility.
        At the top of the screen where it says "Home", "Forums" "Gallery" etc at the far right is "Members". Click on that and on the right hand side is a search box.
        Start typing the name you're looking for in there and a list appears. Click on the appropriate name and it gives you various options including starting a conversation (PMs) :smile:

          Thank you, @AnniD, most helpful.

          @pete, on an ipad, clicking on the mountain symbol opens a pop-up with the choice to go straight to your photo album. :)

            Many thanks for your help. I think its going to take me a while to find my way around here as I also have to get used to a computer instead of my trusty old Tablet!
            So far none of my Photos have been downloaded to the computer. I will need OHs help with that!

              I have no idea why my text turned blue in the above post! Seems to have continued on from typing the @ name. Oops.

                OH OK, I didn't know that, sorry for seemingly contradicting you.
                Not into Apple I'm afraid.

                So it does differing things depending on what Browser or system you are using.:smile:

                  It would seem so! :) And it may be different again if accessed from a phone, but mine is a dumb-phone (aka a phone in the olden days :biggrin:) so I can't experiment.

                    I just tried it on my Samsung phone and again it just has a space to insert a URL.
