Just click on your album's name; next, click on Upload Pictures; then, click on Browse; after that, choose your pictures; finally, click on Upload Pictures, and wait for the pictures to upload.

I've been waiting for someone to discuss this, what you advise doesn't work. I just keep clicking around in circles, the option to upload never appears.

Mike..

The Photo upload on this site doesn't work very well.. What most of us tend to do is create a free account at Flickr and use that, then link to it in our signatures. Flickr is a lot more powerful than the album on this forum anyway, and it's very easy to integrate photos into your posts from it.

What SwissJon said....
there is some bug in the forum program. I can create albums but can't upload pics. Others have no problems...I think it is pretty low on the priority list for the developers as it has been this way for a while...

Thanks everyone .

er . .exactly how do i insert a link from my flickr page (please explain it to me as though i were a 4 year old TA !!! )

Ok.. Go to flicker.. Your main page. At the top you will see something like http : // www. flickr. com/photos/swissjon (for me.. Yours might be your username or your flickr number)

Right click on that and click on Copy (I don't know abut Mac.. Mine's at work, but it's probably a Double finger click in Safari)

No, return to DPS. Above this thread, just below the thread breadcrumb, you will see User CP FAQ Community Calender........

Click on "User CP" Then on the left hand side, click on "Edit Signature"

Now right click and select paste (Or double finger click) and click "Save Signature"

Your signature is now part of your signature.

You've got 5 lines here, so you might want to ad something about yourself.. What gear you have or something.

To insert an individual photo from Flickr, click on "Share" just above the photo in flickr, Expand "Grab the HTML/BBCode" and then drop down the size drop down and select "Medium 640"

Now click to select the code in the box and right click and select "copy"

Now go back to your post and Right click at the spot you want to put your photo and select "Paste"

The code will be pasted. To see if you did it right, click the "Preview post" button.
