Sure If I get it all lined out i'll write it. One more question is there a special password for the file repository. I can't get in with my password

What are you uploading to the file repository?
(Not build pics, right? That thread is in Project Announcements.)
Not exactly sure about how the file repository works -- never uploaded anything there before.   :dunno

DaOld Man mentioned problems using Firefox with the Repository here.

I can set you up with a login for the wiki, if you want one.   ;D

Here's a preliminary step-by-step writeup.

1. Open the "not a project" thread in one window/tab and your build thread in another.

2. Upload the desired photos as attachments to a post in the "not a project" thread using the "Attachments and other options" pulldown under the text editing box.

3. After you click on the "Post" button, you'll be dropped back in Project Announcements -- reopen the "not a project" thread and scroll down to the new post with your pics.  Change window (alt-tab) or browser tab (ctrl-tab) to your build thread.

4. Type the text for your build thread post.

5. When you get to where you want to insert a photo, change window/tab back to the "not a project" post.

6. Click on the thumbnail of the desired photo -- it will either open the image in a new window or display it full-size in the current window.

7. Right-click on the enlarged image and select "Copy Image Location".
NOTE: Don't select "Copy Link Location" since the link on the full-size photo takes it back to thumbnail size.

*** Shortcut for steps 6 and 7 -- Right click on the thumbnail and select "Copy Link Location".

8. If the photo opened in a new window, close that window.

9. Change window/tab back to your build thread.

10. Put the blinking cursor where you want the image to go.

11. Click on the icon and press Ctrl-V (Edit - Paste) to insert the URL for the photo between the "img" tags.

12. If you want to resize the image to 400 pixels add " width=400" like below.

--- Code: ---[img width=400]http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=136713.0;attach=310830;image[/img]
--- End code ---

13. Repeat steps 4-12 as desired.

14. To see how the post looks, click on the "Preview" button.  When it looks good, press the "Post" button.

PROTIP: Until you click on "Post", you can lose all your work.    :angry:   Sometimes it's better to post *then* do the final editing touches.
