I want to copy a digital pic from my computer to DU board

[DianeG5385]

How do I do this? I tried copy/paste and it won't work. Any suggestions?

1. You have to host it at a site that hosts pics for free

http://www.villagephotos.com/

2. I have a yahoo account w/ a page I can post pics to

will this work?

3. No

The link will be broken with yahoo. They don't allow it. It may work for a few minutes or so that's all.

5. if you can post pics on the yahoo page

you will probably be able to post those pics here.

for an image to show up here or anywhere on the internet it has to be "hosted" by another computer that is accesible to everyone else on the internet.

if you get it posted on your yahoo site, you may be able to right click on picture you see on the yahoo site and then go to 'properties', in the new window that opens you should see a line that says "address (URL)", highlight that address with your mouse and then copy and paste into you DU message, it should then show up on DU when you view the message

i don't know anything about the yahoo hosting stuff, some sites don't allow remote image linking which is what you are trying to do.

i am sure someone can explain it better than I.

edit: nevermind people who seem to know say it won't work from yahoo :(

8. Hope this helps.

1. go to a free photo site, I use snapfish.com and open an account
2. follow their directions to upload the picture to their site
3. Open the snapfish album where your photo is
4. right click your mouse on the photo and select properties it will read http:/and a long photo address
5. Right click on the description and copy the WHOLE address (sometimes you have to pull down on the mouse to see the complete address)
6. Paste the whole address in your message
8. press preview and you should see your picture
If you see only a box with a x in it chances are you didn't get the full address.
If you only get a small version of your picture you have to make sure you opened the album you created at snapfish and selected the picture that is the size you want (not the thumbnail that shows from outside the album)

9. Does the photo have to be a jpg?

I'm trying to put another photo in my signature line and only the url shows up. It's a bmp photo. Do I need to put any characters between the urls to keep them separate? Thanks for your help!

10. I figured it out. No, it can't be a bmp file. jpg works. n/t
