Go to
My Settings (Blue band at the top of this page, left side) and click on it.
Scroll (if needed) down to
Pictures and Albums at the left and click on it
Click on
Add Album
Give it a title (and a description if you want) and make it private or other (bottom of the page)
Click
Submit
On the next page click on
Upload Pictures.
On the next page click on
Browse. This opens a dialog box where you browse your computer for the picture you want to upload. You can do one at a time and a total of three in one session.
In the dialog box scroll to the picture you want to upload, highlight it, and click
Upload
Back at the previous screen click on
Upload Pictures when you have the one(s) you want in the list at the top. Wait for it (them) to upload.
After they have uploaded you have the options to
Change the Caption or delete the picture.
Click on
Save Changes.
You will be shown your album and the pictures in it.
To place one in a post click on it and it will go to another page. At the bottom you will see
Picture URL with some text under it in a box. Highlight the text.
In the post where you want the picture click on the yellow mountain icon
and paste that code in the text box that opens. Leave the highlighted text alone and your code will overwrite it.
You want it to do this. Click
OK and your picture will be inserted at the cursor location.
A tip: When I do this I open a second occurrence of City Data in another tab in my browser. This allows me to upload the picture without disturbing the Reply Post I am creating. Once I finish I close the other tab. Just be sure you close the correct tab.
