How to attach photos to mechanics forum post?

I am only semi computer literate and have not been able to figure out how to attach photos to a post. I've done a search on the topic but haven't found anything. I've also looked for a FAQ tab that would address this also with no success. Please be gentle in any answer, I feel ignorant enough having to post this.
Thanks!

I copy and paste the link from my photobucket and/or snapshot accounts.

 

Two ways to attach photos, upload from your computer or provide a URL (Link, web address) to a photo site.

To add a photo directly from your computer, use the middle icon in the right group of icons in the tool bar, if you hover your mouse pointer over icon, it will say insert image.

Like this. In the FAQ, there are more detailed instructions.

When ever I insert a photo, they are small, like above. You can double click on it, and it will get full size. Others guys pictures are much bigger, haven't figured out that one yet!

 

Thanks Insider, the problem is that 100% of my photos are on my computer and even if they were not I also don't know how to insert a link in a post. Maybe I should change my rating from semi literate to something even lower, but thanks for the reply.

When you clip on the "Insert Image" icon, a dialog box will pop up, click on "From Computer", you will need to go to folder with photos. Yours are probably in "My Photos" or Pictures depending on version of Windows.

 

Thanks a bunch! with your help I actually was able to upload some shots of my "barn find" VF500 F.
Thanks again!
