We are going to upload an image and reference it in a post.

1.) Go to the photo gallery
2.) Select ther gallery you want, usually Super Cub Photos
3.) Click [Add Photos]
4.) Select number of files, browse to those files on your local hard drive.
5.) Specify captions or just click Upload. It takes as long or longer to upload the files as it would to download them, so just be patient. There are no cool progress bars.
6.) Navigate to the end of the gallery by clicking the >>| link. Your photo should be the last(newest added) one. Click it to get the full size version, or whatever sized (thumbnail, medium) one you want to embed.
7.) Right-mouse click on the image, select Properties. Highlight the Address/URL.
8.) Right mouse click again on highlighted text, select Copy.
9.) Start your new post.
10)In the post you want to embed the photo in, you need to use BBCode to specify the image URL. So in the post editor, click the Img button once. Paste by either CTRL+V, or right mouse click and Paste. Click the Img button again to close the BBCode tag. The URL you pasted in will display as your photo when the post is submitted.

When I go to the photo gallery and click add photos all I get is a ding noise on my computer and nothing happens. Now what ?

Do you have a popup blocker installed? Google Toolbar?
With products like this, you may have to do some special key combo like hold down CTRL while you click the link. That is the only thing I can think of that would prevent the Add Photos window from coming up. Make sure you have Javascript enabled in your browser too.

You can do video too, I believe. Let me try that.

Tim it is extremely easy to post a pic. First and foremost, your pic has to be posted on a web page. If it isn't, you cannot post it. Now once you have a pic posted on a web site all you have to do is type this. I will use one of mine as an example.

{img}http://www.home.gci.net/~ddwest/proof.jpg{/img}

I had to use {} insted of [] otherwise you would just see my pic. So make your line just like the one I have above except put [ and ] where you see the { and }'s.

Here is another pic.

Hope that helps you. If you have a pic and you don't know how to post it on a web page just email it to me.

Tim Tim, open your word document. Position your mouse pointer at the top left of the document. Left click and hold your mouse button down while scrolling all the way to the bottom right to highlight everything. Right click anywhere on the highlighted area and select "copy" from the pop up box by left clicking. Then find where you want to post in SC.org Right click here and then hit the "paste" selection.
