Thanks for your reply, Howzat. I hadn't realized that you were unaware of how to post into the thread because initially, it is easier and quicker for them; but, it makes viewing their photo(s) a pain for other members with slow connections.
So:
You cannot post directly from your camera or computer. You need to post your photo to any other website on the web. A lot of people use a photo hosting site. I use Photobucket just like you. If you roll your mouse over the photo thumbnail on your photobucket page, a drop down menu will appear. Go to "Direct Link" and highlight the URL, right click on it and click "copy" from the drop down menu. Now the URL for that photo is on your computer's clipboard.
Now, go to your ST post and left-click to place your curser whereever you want the photo to appear in your text. Then, left-click on the little mountain icon at the top of the text box you are curently working in. Another box will open. Put your curser next to the "http://" and right click. A drop down menu will open. Left click on "paste". Then, click on "Okay". Now, the URL for the photo is imbedded in the text of your post. Now, when you post your reply (or a new thread; whatever the case may be), your photo will open up right in your post. This keeps your post simplified and requires less effort from other people who want to view your photos. For dial-up users, it takes a lot less time for just a photo to open up, than it takes for a whole Photobucket page with a photo to open up. Try it and see how you do. Please let me know if you have any troubles or any questions. Thanks!
