This may work since I had the same problem recently.
Go to photoaccess.com and pull up the pic you want to post. Right click on the photo itself and go to properties. Then copy the address that is shown in that box (not the address that appears in the address bar at the top of your browser).
Then come back here, click on IMG and paste the address in. Also, remember to take out any duplicate part of the address that may appear to have been copied twice. As an example, http:// or www. may apprear twice and you can remove the duplicate.
Try this method I hope it was clear.

Pixels under 400x400 . . . check
Bytes . . . Too many!

Duh,

Depending on what program and file type you are saving it as, see if there is a "high, medium or low" quality. Obviously, the higher the quality the bigger the size of the file. I save my pictures as JPEGs because the file size seems to be a bit smaller than GIFs. If it is still too big, keep reducing the size little by little until the file size is small enough. I've had to do that at times too.

As the old saying goes, the only stupid question is the one that is never asked.
To get the colored text, look up at the top of the posting window, just below the Message Icon. There are 3 pulldown menus for "SIZE" "FONT" and "COLOR". If you pull down the COLOR one, there are all kinds of different color choices. Click on one and another box will pop up that says "Javascript prompt Enter text to be formatted with the selected color". Just type in the text you want there. When you hit enter, it will automatically put the vb code in your post for the color you selected.
As for posting pics with the text underneath, you have to have to have the picture as a link from another site, like in your signature. When you insert the pic with the vb code and a link (i.e. [IMG ] www.mypic.com [/IMG ] *sans spaces*), just put in a hard return/enter and type your text. Then your text appears right underneath the picture. It doesn't work when attaching pictures from your computer because the board automatically attaches the pic as the last thing in your post.

Interested in finding cool pictures to post?
Mr. Cat has a source for pictures. I go to google.com and do an image search. Just click "images" and type what you want to find a picture of and then hit enter. A page will come up showing thumbnails of images google finds on the web. Click on them to see the picture, and then click on "See Full Size Image" (or "See Image Only") to see only the image. Want to find horses? Type "horses." You may, however have to refine your search if you're looking for, say, Scott Baio in a canoe on the Rhine.
Sit on it, Chachi

Can anyone tell me how to copy a quote??? Do we have to type it out? And how do we get that "originally posted by..." to appear.
I'm sure it's written here somewhere. I'm just too tired to do the research.
Thanks!

If you look at the lower, right hand side corner of the post you want to quote, you'll find the word "quote." Click that and you'll get the post and the statement that it was originally posted by "whoever." I know you can quote a small part of the post, because other people do it, so I'll watch for your answer!
Of course, you can just delete what you don't want, as long as you leave the word "Quote" at the beginning and end.

At the bottom right of each post you'll find the edit/delete or the quote button. Click on quote and you'll be taken to a new screen to start your post.
Once the quote opens in the new window, just delete the portion you don't want to quote.

I was clicking on the quote button right under the COLOR button above and then re-typing the words.....a thing of the past. I now know how to quote properly!

Lulu, in case you haven't seen it, check out the thread How to Post Pictures in the New Cats forum. I tried to make these instructions as useful as possible.
(Unless you are using a Mac, then I have no clue!)
If you've tried all that, you can send the pics you want posted to someone here who can post them for you. I had to do that the first time until I figured it out! If you want to do that, PM me and I'll send you my email address.

I am so sorry for sounding like a dummy but I have followed the instructions on these posts and still cant get my pics to show on my posts! I go into browse on attach and fint the file I want and click open and the location showes in the box but when I preview the post it dose not show!!!!!!!!!!
Please someone help me!!!!!!! Thank you
I dont know too much about it. But I have trouble if the file size is too big.
If you are attaching a photo by using the browse button, it will not show up in your preview post. It will only show up if you link your photo.
If you want, you can send me your pictures and I can size them & post them for you. My email addy is [email protected]

Thank you but I would realy like to know how to do this myself. I have remote linked some pics but is there anyway to get them to show and not the url? I posted in New cats on the block: Please get to know my babies,yesterday. You can go and see what I am talking about. It is in a reply under: Heres the pics I promised. Any help you can give is appreciated. Head bumps and purrs

Shannon - I think all you need to do is replace your tags with the [img][/img] tags. Y...ite.com/images/smilies/smile.gif[/img][/font]
I noticed that in the bottom left corner under rules that it said html off. Do I need to enable this to view my photos on a post? And how do I do that?I changed the url to img and it still showes like web address.I even saved it to my desktop and tryed to attach from there but it did not work.Thank you for all your help!

HTML should be off, vB Code should be on.
The majority of the problems with attaching a picture with the Browse button is because the picture is too big. All sides have to be smaller than 400 pixels, AND it has to be smaller than 33 KB. JPEGs are generally smaller than GIFs so try saving it as a JPEG. Also, like Shell said, if you Preview your post the Attachment goes away so you have to re-attach it if you preview.
The easiest way to post pics is really with the remote linking. Sign up for a free account with www.imagestation.com, upload your pics there (it's really easy and they pretty much walk you though it), when you have your picture uploaded in an album right click on it, select Properties, and in the Properties box is a web address. Select and copy that address, click the IMG button when you are posting and paste the address from Imagestation. You can preview your reply with this option to make sure the picture shows up.
