posting a photo here

[carlb]

Anyone know of any instructions here on how to post a photo. I've been looking through the different sections of the forum but can't find instructions on just what to do. There is the PCGS web site that took me months to figure out how to post a photo and I hope it's not that complicated here. Is there a post somewhere that explains what to do?????????????

Hi carl

I dont know if your question got answered as I didnt see any replies.

As for this site I cannot answer directly, but I can tell you what I have learned.

Probly the easiest way for all forums for posting a pic is to open a free account with some place like photobucket, a web based imaging host and then download your pics there and copy and paste them from there directly into the body of your post.

Just do a search for photobucket and you will find it.open an account takes about 5 min,, you will like it !!

That's the key...having the image hosted someplace on the internet first. You cannot post an image into any forum without having it on the internet. Some forums have image hosting, this one does not - the space is prohibitive.

Any of the free image hosting services are available and easy to use, and most of them explain how to post images elsewhere once they are saved to their server. It's usually rather intuitive and simple to do.
