Oh...here's another final picture of....Grinler!!

 

Hi dC3:  

 

I clicked on "Reply to Topic..

 

At new window opened, I could type text as I am doing now.

At the bottom all I see is:

 

Add Reply, Preview Post or Cancel

 

I clicked on Preview Post..still no Post and More Reply Options?

 

I wonder if that feature does not work in the forum area?

 

For fun, would you click on Reply to this Topic and see what happens to you?

I'm using FF..

 

stumped softeyes!

 

  (can you imagine how much time it took to process all of the above..if I were able to have attached screen shots

too hilarious!!)

There are forums here, like the Am I Infected, where you can't post images using the method I outlined above.  It looks like this forum can be added to that list.  I host almost all of my images through photobucket were it is easy to copy and then past a [url=http address in the topic I want to post a image in.  Like this four leg member of our family. That's a rocking chair she's balanced on.

PGHinBKK, you asked the following questions:

"how do I paste or insert an image from my hard-drive onto this site"
Answer, you cannot.

"are there any helpful directions for those of us who, you know...the morons, .....actually store images on our own hard-drive, and which images therefore do not have a URL-address."

Since you cannot paste or insert an image from your computer, there are no directions for doing that here.

Some forums do allow image insertion from My Computer. This is due to the way different forum hosts work and the options they provide. IP Board, which hosts Bleeping Computer, does not have that option.

The only option is to use the correct link given for BB code when the image is uploaded to a hosting site such as Imgur or Photobucket.

BTW, Beel,  You're right, sorry about that...I missed the little 'dc3' up in the corner of the shot. 

Soft-Eyes, and Queen Evie,

 

  Thank you both, for your perception and helpfulness, and for taking the time to post all those tips and instructions.  SoftEyes, you're quite right when you say 'friends' at BC.  A few months ago Aura helped me with a HDD replacement, and just over the last few weeks I've been working with pystryker on a heavy-duty malware issue. In both cases, the technical expertise, professionalism and personable-ness of these two guys was, quite simply, off the chart. Exemplary people, both.

 

 I'm an American but I live and work in Bangkok, Thailand, been here for 14 years. Being away from home for this long has (I admit) soured me just a little... I often can be ascerbic and slightly cynical in my humor, usually at myself, and I'm glad you're intelligent enough to have picked up on that.  

 

  I'd forgotten all about Photobucket.  I used to have a Photobucket account. I'll check and see if I can get the password tonight, if not I'll start a new one. 

 

Thank you both again!  As we say here (Kahp kuhn mahk Krahp!  [Thank you very much.] )  

BTW, Beel,  You're right, sorry about that...I missed the little 'dc3' up in the corner of the shot. 

No worries mate we all make mistakes at times none more so than myself....
