Why is it so hard to get a photo on to your post on this site ? I can upload them on to picture manager on this site. But from there i can't get them on to my post ? Can anybody help ?

you have to upload them onto a site like http://imageshack.us (free), then link them to NOOL from there (the bottom link on imageshack), using the image link on the left.

yes i await the day when it is possible to just copy and paste a picture.

get imageshack (or equivalent further instructions are for imageshack) browse. it should automatically go to your images select the image open it host it then you select the url i use hotlink 1 for forums. then paste the ural into a post and voila.

Two (2) places to deal w/ the Picture Manager. Have to go through the paces for both 1. Avatar. 2. Extended Profile.

Picture Manager. Will access saved Pictures. Send New Picture. Browse. Select. Change file type to *gif, *jpg. Give it a Title.

Upload. Result.

if it's not sorted and are with Windows. not sure if I've actually registered with imageshack or not but do use it. might work- save the link as above. have whatever picture you'd like saved to your computer. with the regular-type post open here r-click/open imageshack . wait. browse. (find your picture) select. change file type on the bottom to picture (*.gif, *.jpg)

open. wait. upload. wait. it'll change screens to the hotlinks options. hotlink-1 forums does work. r-click/ l-click cut. back key twice- Windows hold on until it dies will get back here to nool.

r-click image from the side here.![](http://<a href=)http://img469.imageshack.us/img469/2577/250pxdscf09891ub.jpg" class="max-w-full" alt="" loading="lazy" /> paste. ok. submit. not perfect. but done. Q- pls. how to host a link. the http-s seem to trip up.

the problem with the way you host pictures is you get all the code surrounding it. if you use imageshack or something similar, you shouldn't have that problem.

jake, as for it being a NOOL problem, it's not. you just have to figure out how to do it properly. it took me a while, as well.

I use photobucket because it allows you to upload multiple pix at one time....

And it is free!

no you don't need imageshack for your avatar. if you want to post pictures in your posts, then you need imageshack.

yeah, well, Roland, just believe me if I say I've tried many times to get an avatar and eacht time I tried all I got were messages saying the picture couldn't be uploaded for some reason (even though it was in the right format). Why it worked this time I don't know. Probably got pictures and avatars messed up or something. But the explanation on this topic somehow got me on the right track.... And if ever indeed I would like to add a picture to my post I'll use imageshack. Thanks for the advice.

Sometimes I get it wrong but I don't seem to be the only one....
