Don't feel too bad. My teenagers use photo websites all the time, especially my 16 yo daughter. They can't understand the trouble I have simply uploading pictures. I guess if I did it more often than once a blue moon I would get the hang of it.....

Me too!
Just have my 13 year old daughter do it for me!

Otherwise, just send it down to Texas and/or Northern Illinois and they'l do it. Course processing fees are not cheap!

Once you "get it" not that bad.

Red,
I post directly from my computer.

At the bottom of a Post a Message or a Post a Reply screen scroll down to Advanced Posting Tools and click on "Upload Photo". This opens a small sub-screen where you click on "Browse".

This opens your My Pictures file on your computer. Find the album and picture you want and click on "Open". After a delay of 5 or 6 seconds your picture will show up in the sub- screen. When the picture appears click on "Upload".

Then click on "Continue". After you type in the text of your message then click on Post Message or Post Reply.

Pete

To post dialog to each picture you need to write HTML.

Here is how pictures work......
Type out

where ever you want the picture to be in the post. Replace filename.gif with your pictures address and you have just dialoged a picture into your post.

If you notice I had to show you what to type in a picture because if I just type it in you would never see it on your computer. The reason is your computer would read it as a picture instead of just typed words and since no address was added the dreaded red X would show up.

If you want to learn other ways of using HTML follow the link below.

Here's using the HTML method of posting pictures.
Leave a spae between the pics or write something.

I found that when the red x shows up, I just right click on it and then double click on "show picture" and it shows it to me .

No you're not a moron; several of us have had to learn how to post photos, videos, and other links to information on our own.

Take a look at an old post on <a href="http://www.ytmag.com/cgi-bin/viewit.cgi?bd=ttalk&th=766058">how to post photos</a> from several months ago.

Hope this helps.
