Haven't quite got the hang of this attachment thing .. but thought this pretty funny. Came from a Red mate this morning carrying the message that it was a shame we were signing old has beens. God, they bought Rickie ......
Now from your own computer: Once again, press the Insert Image button. This time select From Computer from the selection. Now press the Browse button and you find a folder from your own computer pops up. Select the folder and then find the image you wish to upload [you are sending an image/data from your computer - downloading is bringing an image/data to your computer]. Click on the image and come back to the popup window. Now press Upload Files. An image should appear in the editor window. If it doesn't you may have exceeded the amount of data you can upload. This isn't your fault, but merely a restriction within the editor. It isn't perfect. [Note: Members often get around this by uploading their images to on-line storage and then using the previous method to post them on their editor. That method has virtually no restriction.] When an image appears in the editor window, it can often be restricted in size. To counter this, double click on the image and more options will appear. Select full size if you wish, and the picture will return to its proper dimensions. It's all easier than it reads. Take it step by step, reading this as you go. Have a little practice first. You'll soon get the hang of it.

I will merge this thread to your other one. See that one for some advice on attaching things. Edit: merged.
I did a brief spell as an internet tech support advisor in the 90s, and once told a frequent caller the following advice: Unplug your PC and disconnect all the cables. Straighten out all the cables to get the kinks out of them Connect everything back up and reboot. Your connection ought to be much faster now. This advice was given on the basis that computers communicate in binary which consist of 1s and 0s, and that after a sustained amount of time, a load of 1s can get stuck in the cable bends like a log jam and need to be cleared from time to time. Surprisingly, the lady's internet speed did actually increase and she vowed to continue with this ' maintenance' It just goes to show that no matter how basic your computer/technical knowledge is, there will always be people out there with even worse skills so don't worry too much. I do try and give proper advice these days though as even I felt a bit guilty about that one
