Now browse to a file you want to attach and open it - I think thus far I have almost every picture type supported as well was WMV, mpg, mpeg, and other video types and also some document types like PDFs, Word documents, etc.

(make sure you have some text in the typing area first) to just submit that file/pic or you can hit the add the file button

to go ahead and upload that file and have more options to edit your text or add more files.


If you choose to add more files you can browse for more files and add them the same way as you did above.



You can also place the files within your text by placing the cursor where you want it and then hitting the Place Inline button

If you have trouble resizing pictures and you have a PC please read below for what I have found to be the easiest way.


Install this on your PC, Just try one of these and if it does not work try the other.
32 bit - http://lakecumberlandboaters.com/files/ ... .1_x86.msi
64 bit - http://lakecumberlandboaters.com/files/ ... .1_x64.msi

then select all your pictues, right click and resize them to 700x700 (that should get most screens)
Check the boxes to make smaller but not larger and leave the other box unchecked.

When you hit ok all the pictures you had selected will be resized to the smaller size and will have the name "custom" at the end of them so it did not resize the actual files you had seleced but created new ones. Now upload those new custom ones as they are all sized correctly.

Its VERY easy. Just give it a try. If you have any questions just start a new topic in the general talk area and we will assist.

(the IMG button is just under the subject line)

TTT for those with questions on resizing pictures. It is at the bottom of the first post in this thread above. PS most of the ones I have posted here lately I used 800x800 on the resize.
