The Orchid Source - Orchid Forum

Someone please point me to the "how to post pictures" instructions.

1. Save your picture as a JPG file on your hard drive. Make sure it is not too large.
2. When you are doing a "Post Reply" or "New Topic", type in any text you wish and then click on the "IMAGE" button.
3. Use the "Browse" button to find your picture on your hard drive. Then click "Upload".
4. When the image has uploaded, close that window and return to your message post and you will see the image location in the text.
5. Add your reply and you are done.

If you encounter problems, make sure the file name does not have spaces and special characters in it. If it says that the file already exists, rename your file and try again.

Thank you Galen. So am I to understand that the image is stored here at the Orchid Source?

Yes, the picture is stored on the Forum's hard drive. If you already have it on a web site, you can link to it there by using the URL button instead and just typing in the address of the picture.

Be careful of the size of your picture. A 600 x 400 pixel picture is usually about right.
