Shiny Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 If you want to put them on a thread: Click Add Reply Go down to box below called Attachments Click on browse (another window opens for you to choose file) Choose file/photo you want to attach Click OPEN (file name will appear in box next to browse) Then click UPLOAD Above the UPLOAD Button is Manage Current Attachments Click on this Click on the piece of paper with a green + Hope this makes sense!! Sorry about the picture of SPOT had to do it as I typed to make sure I was teling you right!! Quote
Cait Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 You may need to compress your pictures if they are particularly large Quote
Guest Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 thankyou i thought i'd been doing all that but it didn't seem to upload anything to attachments but i will give it another try! Quote
HappyMaz Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 thankyou i thought i'd been doing all that but it didn't seem to upload anything to attachments but i will give it another try! Me too - nothing happens! Must be too big... next step learn how to compress... Quote
Cait Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 Well HappyMaz, now you have your new laptop it's easy. Open a picture in photo gallery then click to open it in microsoft office picture manager. Click edit pictures, compress pictures, documents, and there you go! Quote

Cait Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 Deb I can't open it!! That could be because its a 'docx file, the 2007 version of office, rather than .doc I'll open and resave it for you Quote
Guest Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 my 15 year old son is going to come and help me otherwise i'm throwing the thing out the window!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote

Cait Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 oh dear. I did wonder why you put it into word first Quote
Guest Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 ok I feel I have to have a go at uploading a photo. Here goes . . . . Quote
Guest Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 ok trying again!! not working am uploading it and then clicking on manage current attachements but its saying there are no items currently . . . . . I know the size of it is 1.21mb cause I checked. Any suggestions anyone? Quote
JacquieL Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 What sort of file is it? PDF, JPeg etc. If it is Vista some of us are not able to open it. Quote
Shiny Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 hopefully this is it!! It is it and well worth getting your son's help what a lovely display!! Quote
Cait Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 ok trying again!! not working am uploading it and then clicking on manage current attachements but its saying there are no items currently . . . . . I know the size of it is 1.21mb cause I checked. Any suggestions anyone? Browse, Upload and then wait for the daisy to stop spinning. Once it has, it will all go back to normal looking and in the manage current attachments box it will have a (1). So you know it's there. All you need to do the is click 'add reply' in the usual way! Sorted, and 'Jobs-a-gudun' as Mike says Quote
