Here goes the technophobe again - sorry.
I have taken some nice pics with my mobile phone ( Yes Brian , Roger and Bitny eat your hearts out )  I have managed to get them from the phone into my pictures on the PC - now when I click browse to get them on here - nothing happens - what am I doing wrong
Thanks
Joan

There are plenty of posts about uploading images.....

I use photobucket to upload them (google it !)

hi Joan and anyone else that wants an easy way to post pics:

a very easy way, without having to manually upload to ano website
is to download dropbox, free secure (2gb free default space):

if you use my link, you get an extra 250mb space for your pics etc:
https://www.getdropbox.com/referrals/NTE0NTAxNDQ5

download, and install dropbox.

now goto your documents folder, you will see a dropbox folder within, go into the dropbox folder like below:

you will see the public folder, go into that. you can copy pictures from your camera / save pics from internet /other folders into here - to publish ...just like i have:

now, select a picture you wish to post, RIGHTt click - dropbox - copy public link like below:

now goto the post in pho to paste your link in, like below:

after clicking on the insert image icon on the pho toolbar,
position your mouse pointer after the first set {img} and before the second {/img} set
RIGHT click again, and paste . this will post in the public link for you.

then you can preview your post, before posting...hey presto!
hope this helps the technophobes!
