    OK....I have been using a puter for a looonnnng time and I still can't do so MANY things. Like posting pix unless I can just copy them and then transfer them someplace. Here's my recent problem. I just bought my wagon off ebay and the seller is a dick and won't answer my emails requesting that he send me the pix that are on ebay to my email address. The PROBLEM is, ebay must have something embedded in the pix at the auction site because when I try to copy them and post them anywhere all I can get is the infamous red X. Amp got the pix off ebay and sent them to me and said I had to save them somewhere and then I could use them. Doesn't work. I saved them to a folder (another first for me) and I still have the same problem when I copy them there and try to post them elsewhere.
    Can someone PLEASSSSSSSE give me some SIMPLE instructions on how I can capture these pix AND move them around??? They are the only one's I have of my wagon thanks to the seller being a dickhead.
    Thanks.

    I'll give it a try but you'll have to post the link again.

    Silver,

    You can't upload pix to pretty much any site if the folder is on your desktop. I always put pix in "my documents" in the "my pictures" folder in there. Then I don't have problems uploading to this site. Wagonmaster also has made resizing the pictures automatic so I don't have to worry about them being too big.

    See the paper clip on top of the message window? Click that and you can brouse your computer for the pictures. The press the upload button, close that window using the close button at the bottom. Then click the down arrow next to the paper clip and then you can add the pictures that are listed.

    Ya see, TB....I have some of them transfered to a folder in Jasc paint shop under "My Implala SS" but when I highlight them and try to move them someplace....the red X is all I get. I don't know what you MEAN by UPLOAD. I'm totally stupid concerning this subject (as well as many others:D)

    When you reply to this message you'll see the paperclip to the right of the smiley face. When you click that you see a page come up with 5 browse buttons. When you click one of those another window will come up that shows your computer files. Get to the right file and select a picture. Then close that window. To add the picture to the message click the paper clip again. It will show the picture you selected. Then you just have to add it.

    When you are replying, at the top there is a tool bar. On the top row from left to right there's remove text button, font, size, color, smiles, and then the paper clip.:)

    On the bottom row you will see the bold button, Italics button, underline, left, center, and right buttons for the text etc etc.

    Once you've uploaded the picture you push the paper clip again and you can add it to the message.

    Once you've "browsed" for them and selected a picture then you have to push the upload button.
