How do you post pictures?

I take the pictures uplode them to my computer post them to flickr e-mail them to myself then copy and paste to the forum Total elapsed time about 35Min

I use photobucket,,,,,,,,      works very well for me

Same basic method as modeler#1         possibly less time to do however (?)

Let me see if I understand... You can't download them directly from your computer (many other sites you can), but you use the URL of the picture's location on a photo handling web site? I can use either one. 

Thanks!

Pretty much true,,,,     sign up to photobucket or most any other freebie site - -

Download your pics onto your PC,,,,      go to the free photo site,,,,,   upload into a folder,,,,  simple "copy" from the photo site and paste into your FMS post..... 

Like so - -  

Good hunting..............

More specific,..

In another thread i saw you utilize photobucket to post your pictures. Excellent! It makes it very easy to explain...

Once you upload your picture and click the "save and go to album" button you will see this bunch of links when you hover with the pointer over a picture. Simply click the bottom one (the one that says IMG between brackets). You should see the link change into the text "copied" for a second.

Now you can go on the FSM website, right click in the post you are writing and select Paste from the menu. Done

Hope it helps

How to Post Pictures

Step by step with screenshots for guidance.

Okay, I’ll admit that I was a rocket scientist (aerospace engineer, really), but it’s not that hard, really, I promise. (There are several ways to do this. Just follow the sound of my voice…)

If you’ve been able to upload one or more photos (the green lozenge in Photobucket), you’re halfway there…

Go to the Photobucket Album page and click on the thumbnail. This brings up a viewing window.

In another tab/window, fire-up the FSM forum composition panel you want to post into. Compose. When you’re ready to insert your photo…

Go back to the Photobucket tab. Highlight the SECOND entry (the Direct Link button). Do NOT do anything that disturbs the copy buffer.

Once again, go to the FSM post-in-progress. On the SECOND tier of the message control bar, the TWELFTH icon, the aqua-colored one that looks like a swatch of film (you remember film? But I digress…) It says ‘Insert Media’… CLICK IT.

Another panel opens! You’re almost there…

‘Send’ (Ctrl-V) the URL you copied from Photobucket four steps back. The ‘Insert Media’ panel closes and your image is inserted, like this…

This grainy satellite photo shows a facility that we
suspect is an enriching plastic to weapons grade.

THAT’S IT! The rest is just the fiddly bits & formatting,
which I know you already know.

Thanks to all! I've been able to master it, but I used the [img] choice on the list. Then I used the media button and it worked. BTW: my entire photo collection of the Missouri build is now on Photobucket (all 398 images). When you open the pictures there you can see the whole enchilada.
