How do you put a picture in the body of your message?

I think there is more then one way to do it, but I’ll share mine. I use another website http://www.pdpics.com/ . I upload a photo from my PC to pdpics and it provides you with several code options. I cut and paste “Code to post the photo in a forum:” and then I preview the post to make sure it works before I post it. The only tricky part is size. If your photo is too big it looks strange in the forum. I often resize them using Microsoft Office Picture Manager. You can post test messages in the Sandbox forum while you are trying to get it figured out.

Here’s another hint. If you see a photo on the forum, and you select “quote” like you wanted to quote part of their message in your reply, you’ll see the code used for the image and you’ll be able to tell if they used pdpics or photobucket or some other host.

Best wishes.

I did it but part of the slide was cut off. It looked ok when I previewed it.
