WWQP Bulletin Board

posting a picture

i am now copying everything i wrote in my word document as it won't let me cut and paste into this post...

here's how i do it... i use mozilla firefox as a browser.

after going to www.quilt.com/bulletinboard/bb/index/html and signing in, i click on "new post" at the top right hand side of the screen. it takes me to a new screen with a blue frame that says WWQP bulletin board" with the tab "posting" and the tab "create" chosen already.
you'll see the "font" selection, "normal size" selection, and a series of other icons along the top. put your curser over the little picture and the words "add image" will appear. click on this little picture and you'll be taken to yet another window that says "add an image from your computer" with a blank spot below and a button to the right that says "browse." click on that and another window opens.

in this window are the different things that are on your computer. go thru to find the picture that you want to add and when you do, double click and it will insert itself into that previously blank space. once you click on "upload image" you'll have to wait for it to be uploaded. this takes awhile on my computer.

it will then say, "your image has been uploaded" and you can see your picture. it will tell you to click on "done" and when you do you'll be taken back to the window where you can add text. when done, click on the word "publish" on the bottom of your screen and say a little prayer ;)

now, if this doesn't work for you, it might be because your picture is too big. that was a problem i had earlier and i'm really not sure if that's why it wouldn't go. i just chose a picture that i knew was smaller and had no problem. the picture i posted just now is from one i took off the web and those are usually smaller also.

good luck, i hope this helps you and maybe some others who have had trouble. remember that i am using mozilla firefox as my browser so some of these things might be a little different on your computer.
