Without any doubt, a picture is worth a thousand words!

 

We often ask for more detail, but one image added to your post is priceless when trying to communicate.

 

I am adding this post for those that have not discovered the steps used to add an image.

 

Let's see if we can help you post those photos.

 

After you click "New Message" or "Reply" the message composition window will pop up. When you are composing (writing) your post and want to add a photo, just click on the Tree Icon (See Below).

The next screen will open and under "Select a File" you will click "Browse" and a new box will open and allow you to search the photo files on your computer for the one you want to add.

 

After you find your photo, click it to highlight the image and click "Open" in the lower right corner of that box.

 

The Browser will import the file name ... this usually takes a moment.

 

After you see the file name appear in the import browser then look below and you will see the "File Size" option.

 

This allows you to make the file "Small, Medium, or Large"

 

In a recent post, a Community member reported receiving an error message indicating that the photo was too large to import. Should you receive this message, decrease your file size to "Medium" or "Small."

 

Click "Insert Image" and the photo should appear in the composer.

 

When you complete your comments, click "Post."

 

Your photo and text will publish on the Community.
