These are some basic instructions on how to add photos from your computer to a post on DMCTalk. (adding photos from another website is similar but different, and will be covered in another thread)
This assumes that you have already taken your photos and uploaded/saved them on your computer (usually in a folder called ‘Pictures’ or My Pictures’), and can find them again.
Whether you are starting a new thread or replying to an existing one, the steps are the same
Firstly, type the text you desire in the usual text box. Then scroll down the page and click on the “Manage Attachments” button:
http://dmctalk.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=15432&d=1355418693
This will open a new smaller window. (Note that in my example below, the window shows all the recent pictures that I have uploaded - please ignore) Click on the “Add Files” button:
http://dmctalk.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=15424&d=1355417634
Then click on “Select Files”
http://dmctalk.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=15430&d=1355417923
A window will open that is similar to your normal Windows Explorer. At this point, I have to assume that you can navigate and find where you saved the photos.

If the photos in your folder show up as a list of just names, I like to select this icon and change the display from “Details” to “Large Icons” to change the display to mini-pictures, called thumbnails. I find this makes selecting the correct photos easier.

Select your desired photos (you can add as many as you like. You can also repeat these steps later to add more photos) buy simply double-clicking on the photo, or single-clicking and hitting ‘save’. They will appear in the box as a list. When you are done selecting the photos that you would like to use, click on “Upload Files”:
http://dmctalk.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=15429&d=1355417922
Thumbnails of the uploaded photos will appear on the bottom space. Make sure they are all checked (with a tick mark) and click “Place Inline”. Then click “Done”:
http://dmctalk.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=15428&d=1355417920
Your post should now look something like this:
http://dmctalk.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=15427&d=1355417919
Note that the photos will appear wherever you were last typing in the text box. In the above photo, they are right at the end of the words, which is a little odd looking. By moving the cursor to the end of the sentence (just after the last parenthesis) and hitting the ENTER key a couple of times, the pictures will drop down onto the next line:
http://dmctalk.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=15426&d=1355417917
And you are DONE.
