How to attach images through the forum

[ant]

A few people have had some hassles with uploading images on their posts and while some are using programs such as Photobucket, you can also upload from your computer.
The only real thing to keep in mind is that there is a size limit of 195kb for jpeg images.
First step is to know what images you want to upload and to make sure they are not too large in file size.

For this post, I have picked a few images from my photo album and saved them as jpeg with the lowest file size option. I have numbered them from 1-4 and then saved them on my desktop. You can do this with any photo editing program. Most computers have some sort of standard editing program installed from the box.

Next step is to open your post/thread/reply (whatever it is) and scroll down to the section below that says "Additional Options" and find the section that says "Attach Files" then click on the "Manage Attachments" button.

Once you have clicked on that button, you will see this screen........

Now, click on the "Choose File" button and you will be directed straight to the files on your computer. Remember that I saved my files on my desktop so that is where I have to look for them.
This image shows me selecting image number 1. Make sure you click the "Choose' button on the bottom right of that window.

Next, you will be directed back to this window.

You then have to click on the "upload' button so that your selected file is uploaded to your post.

Once you have uploaded your file (it may take a little time depending on your file size and your internet connection speed), you will see it listed under the section titled "Current Attachments".

Thats it. You can upload up to five images at a time. If you want to upload more then you have to add another post/reply to the thread.

Once you are satisfied with your image selection, you can close the "manage Attachments" window and click on the "submit Reply" button so that all of the Croc Crew members can see your pics and read your post.

I hope this has helped.
Keep in mind that I use Macintosh computers so the screen shots may look a little different to you if you are using a Windows based computer.
