I've got a question

[gwpercle]

When replying to a post, down at the bottom are usually three buttons:
Quick Reply
Go advanced
Cancel
Now I've figured out quick reply and cancel....but have never had the nerve to hit "go advanced" I have no idea what it does and have gotten into trouble clicking on things that I don't know what they do . So what happens if I hit that button ? Where do I wind up, what does it do ?

I don't know. I've never had the nerve to push it either!

Looks like it just gives you more options. Try it and see. If we don't hear back from you, we will send a search crew.;-)

Click on it and see . . . it should allow you to download images to add to your reply. Don't fear . . . your computer won't blow up if you click on it!

It gives more options. Add pics, preview post, etc. Push it and explore.

If ya get in trouble ask a 7 yr old. If they don't know how to fix it take it to a kindergarten. One of the young ones will have the skinny on it.

So how do you do it.....I can't figure it out either.

The last time/only time I did that I ended up at a site with scantily clad women ( I assume they were women) and couldn't get it to go away....had to call for help , no kids around to help and after explaining that to my wife, I just don't push any button now.
Big hint, if you google drag racing....you get things that don't necessarily involve fast cars and quarter mile runs....I had no idea !
Still scared to " go advanced.....I like women and don't want any advanced experiences.

Cast Boolets photo posting

.........There are 2 ways of doing this.

****NOTE***** Please make sure your photo is no larger than 7" wide, or it will blow the screen out and the writing will re-wrap itself, so people have to scroll back and forth.

1) Photo on your hard drive:

A) If you roll the message posting window up, below it there is a box that says "Additional Options". You will see a gray button marked "Manage Attachments".

B) Click on that and a box opens with a "Browse" and a "Submit" button. Click the Browse button to display all the areas on your PC where you might have photo's stored. Select where ever the photo is, and then click on it.

C) Then click the Submit button. The photo will appear in your post when you submit it.

2) Photo on the web:

A) Your photo hosting site should have the means for you to generate an address for the photo you want to include in your post. Or possibly you may have to "Right" click on th photo to open a menu. One of the options should be "Create Address". Left click on that.

B) Copy the address by RIGHT clicking on it, and in the sub menu LEFT click on "COPY".

C) In the body of your post, wherever you want the image to appear, you need to type in the following:

D) Once you have done that, right click between them to place the curser and then LEFT click and select "PASTE".

E) The photo's address should now appear between the bracketed prefix, & suffix. All you have done is a simple 'Cut & Paste' operation. Once the post is submitted the photo will appear with whatever speed your (or anyone else's) processor is capable of in retrieving the photo image.

Well duh it doesn't appear to have worked for me??

[GOPHER SLAYER]

Let me have a shot at it. Sometimes you want to post pictures, the words [manage attachments] does not appear. When this happens just click on [go advanced] and it will allow you to browse and upload pictures. Don't worry about the cut and paste business just yet.
