Charlie, here goes with the pasting pictures.
All graphics, pictures charts whatever are treated as pictures. So they need to be placed in a web friendly format, usually jpeg works good.
So that these picture files can be easily accessed by anyone reading the message board they have to be inserted from the web, so an online picture service like Photobucket is used.
Steps required:
1) register with <a title="Photobucket" href="http://photobucket.com/">Photobucket</a>. I have found the Firefox browser and Photobucket don't like each other. I like to keep a Photobucket account that I use only for pictures posted to forums like Agriville.
2) For convenience start a new picture folder on your computer where all pics you will be posting can be easily located.
3) Actual pictures are the easiest to paste. Charts are tougher. I use the Paint feature on my Windows based computer to work with pics I will be posting.
For charts you will need to copy and paste the chart into paint; if it looks okay save it as a jpeg into your new picture folder. Many times you may want to clean up a picture by cropping. Good if there is something you would rather not have the whole world see! Also, there may be times when you want to use the Print Screen feature to copy what you have on your screen into Paint. These will definitely need cropping to tidy up.
4) Once your pictures are ready log into Photobucket and upload your pictures.Select the one you want to insert into your message on Agriville. Once selected, a box on the right hand side of the page will highlight the HTML link to your picture. Click it once, it will flash "copied". Then select the place in your message you what the picture to appear, hit Control-V buttons (paste) and the address for your picture will be pasted into the message. When your return to the discussion you can see how it turned out.
I guess after all that I see why there are not many pics on this forum. There may be easier ways but that is what I do.
