OK, I’ve been hanging around here almost as long as Breaktime has existed. I’ve never posted a picture. I’m trying tonight, but can’t figure it out. Is the curse of the Amish-looking, or am I missing something obvious?

I'll take either. And no, I'm not joking. Computers to me are tools, and in fact, far less interesting than most hammers. As such, I learn only enough about them to do the thing I want to do. I've never wanted to do this before.
I have clicked the attach files button, and nothing happens.Andy

You may have to disable your pop-up blocker.Stop, drop, shut 'em down, open up shop.
ok, i'll go thru the steps i do.. and BTW i'm running on XP Pro....
move to the bottom, click ATTACH FILES..
which will move you to a screen called "upload a file for attachment to the message"
( now this assumes you have your picture someplace on your computer and you know how to go to that location )...
click BROWSE in that screen , yu may have to move to a different location with the browse button. but once yu get to that "folder" select the pic you want
with the OPEN button.. press UPLOAD select another if you want...
when it has them opened and LISTED on that attachment screen
press DONE, then POST
once it's viewable you can select the yellow post it note with the push pin
and see the pic... right click on the pic
choose COPY from the menu
then use the back button and go to the EDIT button
insert the pic in the text by using PASTE, then APPLY

and here's Beckman, Recko, Cadioli and Mark... from that show that you were doing the trim demo on

Thanks for the help, all. I give up though. Had some pictures of a house I framed about two years ago for the curved roof thread, but you're all just gonna have to imagine it.

Mike, It ain't that easy!!! Lots of people have no response at all when you hit the "attach" button.
Disabling pop up blockers doesn't help for some reason.
The people at Taunton will tell you that this is a very common complaint and they don't know what to do about it.
It just won't work on some computers.
bo...i used to post pics at the office too, then something happened and now i can only post pics here at home.. so ,i do know what you mean....
don't have the slightest clue as to why that is... they all run the same OS, the same anti-virus.....Mike Smith Rhode Island : Design / Build / Repair / Restore
I thought it only happened to me. I have been able to post pictures before with no problem until recently, come to think of it it might have something to do with the new Norton Internet Security that I installed.
I have tried all the tricks mentioned above and nothing happened when I clicked on Attach Files.
I installed Norton Internet Security and it screwed up all kinds of things. De-installed it but think I'll need a rebuild to get everything where I want it. Or just buy a new one. Anyway, I'm still able to post pics (at least until this message posts - LOL).
use Trend Micro... much gooder....

Also if you change a setting you may have to reboot/shutdown/restart to get it in effect.
I'm thinking the problem is somewhere in the photo.

By the way, Mike, I just got the hang of this embedding pictures things, and the way I've been doing it is to copy the pictures by:
Attach files as normal
hit "preview"
open pictures in preview
right click and copy picture
go back using the back button on the browser
hit "revise"
ctrl + v to paste the picture.
repeat as necessary.
It seems faster than using the edit function, but I've never tried that, so I could be wrong.
Andy- you should tell us what browser you're using- Internet Explorer or Mozilla or something else? I had a hard time using Mozilla Firefox here.

Yeah I could see how a pop up blocker could prevent that.
I didn't know you allready hit the attach button.
imbedding a pic------ well you could copy & paste right into what yer typin sometimes I have to copy & paste into a word file then copy & paste to the message I'm typin."There are about 550000000 firearms in worldwide circulation.

Andy, Welcome to the dumb *ss can't post a picture club. I bet you have XP. I have tried everything I can think of ( with the help from lots of people here and at Taunton) and can't get anything to pop-up when you click on the "attach" button.
Try holding down the "control" key before you press "attach". That is the quick way to over ride the pop up blocker.
After months of trying different things, I hit the "control" key one night and the attachment worked perfectly.....only for that night and never again. I may have a haunted computer.
If you get yours to work, I'd like to hear how.
I bet you have XP
That's odd, because I'm running XP. I've never had a problem, and I'm by no means a "tech weanie". Just lucky I guess.
Speak the truth, or make your peace some other way.

View Image I would have never guessd that you couldn't post pics. It's got to be easier then working the ban button. Wait a minute you don't need to prove that point.
Ohhkleedokley. Here we go. Click on attach files. Then click on browse. The "choose file" pop up window will pop up. Go to whereever on your hard drive you have the pic stored. Say your picture folder. Click on the picture you want to upload and it will load into the little menu bar. Then click open. It will load up into the propero bar on your attach files screen. Click upload when it's done uploading it Goes back to a blank slot. Click done, or repeat if you want to do more. Then abra cadabra your done.
Like this.
Edited to add: Almost as easy as Tick Sticking.

Andy, the other option is to attach the pictures to an email to me or someone else that can post pictures- I'd like to see the photos of the curved roof.

you need to make sure that you have java and java script enabled, otherwise when you click attach nothing will happen.

How do you enable java and javascript?
I click 'attach files' and nothing happens, either.
I think it involves going downstairs and brewing up an espresso. Whether you then drink it, or pour it into the keyboard is where I get mixed up.Andy

I have 2 suggestions for ya to try if your attach button doesn't work. First is to upload your pic at imagevenue.com. Then copy the text from the 4th box it gives you and paste that into your post box. Hit the check box below and to the left where it says "Check here if HTML tags are in the message". That will give you a thumbnailed pic. The other option is to find somewhere else to host the pic. Then you can use this line to post the pic "in line" in your post:<IMG src="http://www.webserver.com/folder/picturename.jpg">You have to check that same box again to make it work.
Needing someone is like needing a parachute. If he isn't there the first time you need him, chances are you won't be needing him again.
Boss, if you do that, then you need to enter all the HTML for all of the rest of your post to show up correctly as well.

In Firefox, click tools/options/content and check the java and javascript boxes.In IE (which I never use, BTW) I think it goes like this: click tools/internet options and you'll get a dialog box. Click the security tab, and at the bottom, you'll see "custom level" click that and scroll through it, and you'll see near the bottom a section on scripting. Enable those items. I think you can just "reset to medium" and it ought to work.But I'm not sure with IE, as I only use it for windows updates.Marine Engineer

didn't work.
Edited 3/19/2006 1:15 pm ET by JonE
not sure what to tell you. Do you have Java installed on your computer? You can get it here.
Marine Engineer
It's not Java.I use mozilla and have java completely disabled.Probably not javascript either, I just threw that out there as a possible. I have javascript allowed for change images only...I even have unrequested popups blocked. And I haven't added this site to the list of allowed popups.I have no problem attaching files.

was fiddling around with it last night, I disabled javascript, and the attach button was dead, I renenabled it, and it worked. Go figure.Marine Engineer
There is obviously some kind of middle ground here. I have no idea what that would be. Maybe Mark can tell us what is going on.As I said, I have all java and javascript turned off, except for the javascript to change images. It still works for me.

Did you figure out the picture puzzle?
When you are posting on breaktime do you have the full screen of breaktime showing?-sign/minimized or x maxamized. And when you go to make a comment/reply and then you go to spell check next to attach files, does the spell check box open up in a seperate window or do you also not get the spellcheck to work?
I just saw this and wasn't sure if you had seen it so take a look.
