How do you attach a picture to these forums?

If you want the jpeg 'embedded' in the message then you must find a place to 'host' the picture. There are lots of free hosting sites that will set up a holding tank for your photos. Try photobucket, google drive, or any of the free sites that deal with photography. The image in this post is not hosted here on the Aquarius forum it is hosted on Photobucket. Photobucket will prepare the html code for you to properly display the image.

Step 1: find a host
Step 2: upload your photos to the holding area
Step 3: cut and past the image code into your message
Step 4: preview the message to see if you have the proper code
step 5: post your message

if you clik on the image in this message it will redirect your browser to my photobucket library of images. Feel free to look around.

It is not necessary to host the files on another server You can also attach a image file to the forum directly so you don't need to host it on another server.

Just hit the browse button below in the upload attachments section of your post, pick the file you wish to upload and then hit add the file. I have attached an image showing where you do this.

You also have to make sure the file size is not to large pixel wise. Most of my pics have to be reduce to 1260 pixels on the largest of the number.
