Pic. Post?


Hey guys, I'm new to "contractor talk", How do you post pics. ? I don't know about anyone else here but the computer is not my best friend, yet.

Welcome to the site!

Attach a file by clicking on the "Manage Attachments" button below the message box and upload an image. The image can't be too large to do it this way though.

Was that confusing enough? Feel free to ask more questions if needed.

What if you want to copy pics from other contractortalk messages and paste them into your post? I tried it, but it didn't work. Can you do that?

Cole. No, I was just clicking on the picture in the person's message, right clicking to copy to my computer and then from my computer, copying that picture (and some others from other messages) and pasting it into my post. But it won't even give me the paste option when I have my cursor in the post area.

Was that confusing?

Re: Pic. Post?


Are you hosting the pics on a host website?

If you are not I would tell you to do that it is so much easier.

Here is one:

Re: Pic. Post?


okay, I clearly don't know what I'm doing. All I wanted to do was make a joke on one of the threads and I wanted to put 3 pictures from 3 different messages in my post. Guess it's more complicated than I thought.

You could hotlink all 3 in one post, as opposed to attaching them.
