Right now I do not need to know this, but I predict that I will need it in future.

On this forum, how do you attach a picture (screen shot e.g.) to illustrate a point?

First you must host an image online somewhere. Picasa, Flicker, MobileMe or Dropbox are capable.

Enter the http URL address of the image, then highlight the text and, then press the [Img] button on the Bold/Italic/Underline/Quote/... Toolbar

In this example, the first image name is hosted at:
http://www.ifamilyforleopard.com/images ... romWeb.jpg

Once surrounded by the img tags in the square brackets the picture will appear on the forum.

Thank you, Warwick for this reply.

For my purposes, it is more complex than I want to learn or deal with at this point. I want to focus on iFamily itself.

I had assumed it could be done within my current tools and skill levels. I was expecting to be able to attach a .png or a .jpeg sitting right on my own desktop - the same way I can attach something to an e-mail.

No matter, I will easily get along on Forum without attachments.

Thanks again!

Kirsten
