How do I put a picture on a reply without it being a separate attachment that a viewer has to click on to open??
Anyone able to advise? Cheers...GGMU

1) The picture must already exist on the web, or you have to upload it.

2) In the reply window, click the little image icon. In the pop-up box, paste in the complete URL of the picture

If the picture ONLY exist on your hard drive, it can only be viewed by adding it as an attachment.

Uploading a picture basically means putting out on the web ("copying" it from your hard drive to the internet - from private to public domain).

Most Internet Service Providers give you a few megabytes of web space with your subscription, and the adress of this web space should be in the "welcome" letter from your ISP.

If you've got such a web space, all you need to do is get an ftp (file transfer) program (you can usually downlaod one for free) and transfer the file from your hard drive to this web space. See the help file for the ftp program for detailed instructions.

There are also a few sites on the net that offers to host files and pictures for you.

Probably confusing, but I don't know how to explain it in simple terms... :wenger:
