OK, here goes, assuming you are using Win95 or Win98. 13 Step Program To Graphics1. Find a picture on the net that you want to use.2. Use the right mouse button and click it. A menu will pop up.3. Click properties with the left mouse button.4. Next to Address is the URL starting with http://<br />5. Click at the beginning of the URL with the left mouse butoon and hold the left mouse button down.6. Now drag the mouse to the end of the URL so the whole address is highlighted.7. Release the left mouse button.8. Now hold the Ctrl key on the keyboard down and while holding it down press the C key on the keyboard. This copies the URL to the Clipboard. (your computers memory)9. Now, in the posting your making to the board type in

12. It should look like this except I am going to type a {} (braces) instead of [] (brackets) so it will show up in this posting. If I us the [] (brackets) it will show the picture instead of the example:{img}http://www.parkviewpub.com/bulletinboard/Image1.gif{/img}13. Be sure to change the {} (braces) to [] (brackets).------------------Joe[This message has been edited by Joe (edited 03-14-99).]

I really am sorry this turned out soooo big. Anyone want to help me reduce it?? You can tell I'm a first timer.

 

[Guest]

Help! Anyone know how to do this on a Mac? With a one button mouse?

 

[cheryl]

I'm sorry Joe....I guess you are bigger than life.

Cheryl

Cheryl,Wow, That thing is a whopper. I'm honored. Whoever owns the graphic would have to reduce it. I think that would be the only way.lgd,In Step 2, where it says to use the right mouse button, instead of that just hold the mouse button down and a menu will come up after a couple of seconds. I think one of them will say something like "copy link" or something to that effect. Select it. Skip steps 3 through 8. In Step 10 hold the CMD (command) key down and press the letter V instead of the CTRL key and the letter V key. Complete steps 11 through 13 and I think this will work.------------------Joe[This message has been edited by Joe (edited 03-15-99).]

You got it DJ, Way To Go!Ty,The images have to be on the web. You will need to download them to the web somewhere so you have an internet address to put in the post. My ISP gives me 10 MB of disk space on their server. This is where I put mine. Check with your ISP to find out if you can do this. If not, places like Geocities let you set up a sight for free and you can store them there. Hope this helps.------------------Joe
