Help Wanted

[wendykg]

I need someone to explain to me in words of one syllable or less, how to post photos etc onto the forum (say from email or face book) and also how to forward stuff from here to other places (like email or facebook).
Please speak to me as if I was a 3 year old with special needs, but if you find that too demeaning or embarrassing....you can pm me

The easiest way to add photos is to do it from an external source as often you need a web address in some systems.  I followed Pieman's instructions on how to use Dropbox and it works an absolute treat and is easy as to use.

What Dropbox does is you save your photos to it, it then gives you a http address.  When you use the insert image icon here, you add inside the brackets the http address and voila, you pictures have been inserted.  It will work for Facebook, emails, skype and PM's.  You can also share photos and give access to your friends to see your photos directly in Dropbox as well.  You can save anything to it, word documents etc.

And truly, it is really easy to use.

Do a search for ''Pieman'' and ''Dropbox''.  His instructions are really easy to follow.  I am really happy with it and thank Pieman for sharing the idea.
