How do I post pictures from my laptop?
« on: July 30, 2008 - 06:29:03 PM »
 Would like to show off pictures of my new tunnel ram set-up, but don't know how to attach from my laptop.  Can someone lead me through this?  Thanks.   :clueless:

When making a reply like I am now or starting a new topic  below & to the left of the text screen is  Additional Options...  click there & a box will open for you to browse your computer to select the pic. you want to upload. For more than one pic. click (more attachments) to the right of the Browse button. Allowed file types: jpg, gif Maximum attachment size allowed: 300 KB, per post: 10
Most pictures have to be resized, I open them in MS PAINT & under tools use the stretch/skew selection & enter 50/50 till the pic. fits inside the window & then save as .jpg.

Thanks.  Hate to sound stupid, but how would I open them under MS Paint?

Go to the folder/file   right click on your pictures icon & a menu will appear, one selection is "OPEN WITH" hover mouse pointer over that & a list of options should appear, one should be MS Paint...if not at the bottom is choose program which will list all programs on your computer of which one will be MS Paint
