Why can't I figure out how to upload a photo?

[John Lee]

I've looked at the FAQ and thought I could figure it out but don't seem able to find the "Picture and Album" to get started. I am not a computer person but this isn't supposed to be nuclear physics. Assume I'm blind, illiterate and American and point me in the right direction please.

I've only used Photobucket but it's fairly straight forward ...

1. Create a free http://photobucket.com/ account.

2. Once you've done that create an album within p'bucket.

3. Click on upload

4. Browse to where your photos are stored on your PC and hit upload.

5. Once they've uploaded and you've saved them you'll be shown thumbnail images of them on your album.

6. Right click on the IMG code under the picture you want, go to your BCUK thread and right click and paste it in.

I know exactly how you feel, it defeat's me every time, no matter how much people try to explain it.

Rob,
I have this theory that when I encounter something to do with computers, electronics or instruction manuals my brain short circuits and goes into neanderthal mode.

HAH !, i thought about catching a teenager & and keeping it in a box by the computer, just for emergencies such as this.

Brilliant idea. I think I'll try to catch an 18 year-old girl from the Czech Republic. Do you know the conversion rate? Will I need any special foods? She can load my photos and I can teach her the only ten words she'll need to know. For example, "yes John, you're right John, another beer my manly man."

Looked promising but my photo was too large. Thank you for your help anyway.

You can resize pics within a photobucket account.

With Photobucket, when you right-click over the image you want, you should get the option of either "Thumbnail", "For Web Forums", "Full Size" or "Email Attachments"

...Guess which one you'll need?

Thank you everyone. I think I'll just wait for my 18 year-old Czeck girl to arrive. Or as a last resort, my son who is an engineering student at a university.
