it is really hard to post pictures
 
It is really hard to post a picture on this site. Call me if you want a picture of the perfect elasticized tablecloth you need to protect your table during games.

Here's one way to post a picture!!!

To attach a photo file that resides on your computer:

When you're doing a Reply to a thread, scroll down towards the bottom - beyond the Submit Reply and Preview Post buttons - to the Additional Options section and look for Attach files. Click on the Manage Attachments button - it'll let you browse the files on your computer to decide what you'd like to attach to your reply. After that, then do the Submit Reply as you would with any other reply.


If you're creating a new thread, the process is the same as above only instead of the Submit Reply, it's Submit New Thread.

There is a finite limit imposed by the TOTV software, it seems, for the space taken up by all of your attachments.

Hope all that helps!

Bill :)

Just to help and clarify further this post. You have to hit the "Go Advanced" button first to get to the Manage attachments part.

Jim, I believe the "Go Advanced" applies only if you're doing a 'Quick Reply'. The route I described is if you click the regular ol' Reply button. Either method for replying to a thread will get the job done! :thumbup:

Thanks bill, but I think I see why. I would bet we're looking at two different pages. Maybe, because I'm just a "Member" and you're an Eagle I have to do it the way I described. We may have hit on something here because I don't have at the bottom what you do.

I have to hit the 'Go Advanced' key to get the menu. Maybe this helps all types.

Doo-dee-doo-doo.......Rod Serling stuff for sure!! :D

I wouldn't think member status would come into play.....but who knows???!!

"Upon further review of the game films......" - Are you clicking the "Post Reply" button clear at the bottom (or top) of the entire thread or are you clicking the quill-and-paper button at the lower right of a particular post to do your reply? That might explain the difference.
