Posting photos directly to the board without Photobucket, Flickr, etc

[JPotter57]

To post a photo directly to the server without using a hosting service such as Photobucket, follow these directions.  To add pictures to the forums here, don't use the quick reply at the bottom of the page.  At the bottom of the last post, you will see on the right side of the screen, a blue tool bar, marked Reply | Notify | Add Poll | Send the Topic | Print.
Click the Reply button.  A window will open up with a large text box.  At the lower left of the text box, you will see Additional Options.  Click that, after you have typed in your text.  A drop down menu will open, you will see a button that says Choose File, beside a bold text marker that says Attach.  Click the choose file button.  A window will open allowing you to browse your computer folders to find the photos you want to add.  Once you select your photo, you will see beside that button, the file name of the photo you chose.  If you want to add another photo, look directly to the right, and you will see more attachments link.  Click that and another choose file button will appear, and you can add another, no more than two or it may result in an error.  When you are finished, just look below that and you will see three buttons, one that is marked Post, one Preview and one Spell Check.  When you are ready, click the Post and wait.  It may take a few minutes depending on your internet speed and the size of the file.  I am on DSL, and posted a 4 mb file last night during testing in about half a minute or so.  If you have cable or some other fast connection, it will go much quicker.
