I am hoping someone can help me with inserting more then one pic into my threads as I go instead of having to put all the pics together. Each time I want to put more then one pic at different positions in my thread it will only allow my last pic to show. Was wondering what I am missing? Not a computer guru here so your help is appreciated.
Thanks

If you host your pictures on a site like photobucket you can add as many photos as you like to a thread. It doesn't cost anything to join photobucket and you can keep all of your photos organized in different folders. When you want to post a picture, you click on the the little mountain icon above where you're typing, and a box will pop up asking where your photo is located? You have your photobucket account open in a different tab, and each photo will have a "direct link" address next to it. Copy and paste that address into the pop up box on FABO and hit enter. Your picture or pictures will be in that thread.

The reason you're limited to only one picture now is that every picture you add has to be uploaded to FABO's server which takes up space, which costs money. When you externally link your pictures, they are taking up space on Photobuckets server.

Hope this helps. I'm no computer expert, I'm just learning as I go!
 
Last night just after I posted this thread I got a PM from moderator "bad sport". He walked me thru the process and I can now post pics in position as I describe them. A special thanks to him for taking the time to help.

I'm clearly no computer expert myself LOL, but when I've seen it done like described above, often times the picture seems to disappear somehow. I've noticed this many times while looking at older threads, the image is gone forever. Im thinking that what be necessary sometimes is to re-size the photos in order to post more that one at a time. That's what I'm trying to figure out right now. OR, is that what everybody is doing in order to post multiple photos in a single posting, using a site like Photobucket??

He's a good guy, that Bruce. He helped me a bunch as well, but I'm working on an iPad, it's a little different than a computer. I think I'm getting there...

On older threads if the picture is missing it's probably because the person who posted it has moved or removed the picture from his off site storage account. The forum software goes where it's told the picture used to be. If it's not still there, no picture.
