click on the 'archive' link just bellow your avatar on one of your posts
then there is a 'browse' button at the bottom of that - find the pic you want then upload

but you have to be uploading a photo from your PC

Filename must be unique but the system will rename them for you if needed.

PNG's are not supported sadly.

Make sure the images aren't too big either (I'd say no larger than 200kb)

Try not to use any strange characters &,#,~ etc....

Finally would really help others if you add a brief description for the images. Not needed but very helpful!

I have sent the pics up to picassa to resize so how do I get them from "web albums"to my archive?
thanks

Save them on your PC Paul. Then upload them into the Photo Archive as described above by mcerd1.

you can just copy the links into your post like this:

btw there is a pic resizer you can get from micrsoft for free if you've got winXP - it gives you 'resize' as an option when you right click on the pic linky





if you don't know the direct link to your pics on picassa - just righ click on them - properties - and copy the whole link you'll find there

I don't have picassa - so I've nicked one of mango's pics as an example
