Would some kind person tell me how to post photos on to this forum. I have been told before but I have slept since then. Maybe we could have a small section of computer tech notes to reminding idiots like me who keep forgetting stuff?

I could maybe help. Describe the problem you are having and which photo service (photobucket, tiny pics..?) you are using. It's really not that difficult if you know how.

You need to start an account at Photobucket - email, passwords etc. Just follow the instructions really. As I always say to non-computer people, just sit and look at the screen and it will tell you how to work it. In this case it's a big orange button named "upload" It then has a drag and drop function or a "choose photos" option. Once you have some pics uploaded you need the "Links to share this photo" option and you need the "direct" option. Click on that and the link is copied. Then you paste the link in your post. - Simple.
I'll now fail to paste a picture here - you watch, it always fails when anyone is watching - just like kicking a bike off.

OK then, first step is to Google photobucket and create an account. That really is easy. They have directions which, if you follow them, will allow you to upload your photos.. Very user friendly so that should be no problem..
Keeping my eye on this so I'll be here all this afternoon..
