How to post a photo

Or, just click on this image.

Same thing. You can save it to your Mac/PC by

Clicking on it
When you're looking at the large image, right-click, then choose "Save As"

Hopefully people will read this and use the feature. I have had to edit several posts where people have tired to use photobucket or the like and the pictures never appear. I just download the picture from the URL that I can find in the edit mode to my computer and then upload them back the proper way.

Another question on pictures. I am eating up a bunch of storage with duplicate picture posts - the same pictures posted in different threads. I tired to move the existing pictures from my UCP to a post but they are not properly sized. Is there a trick to use the same uploaded picture in multiple posts?

Lee, I hate to say it but it pays to use more space with duplicates than try to fight the forum's image storage system. IMHO it's overly complex.

We've got tens of GB of free space, so (I hate to be sloppy, but) don't worry about it. Use the image that's already sized correctly.

That said, if you want to give me the examples' URLs, I'd be happy to see if there's a way to make it work with just one copy of the image.
