If you do not have an online host (e.g., photobucket, imgur, etc) then open up a reply new post like you did to start this thread.

Below the dialog box where you typed in your message is a tab that says "Attachments". Click on it.

When you, a button that says "Add Files" appears. Click on that.

Now a new window will open showing files stored on your hard drive. Depending on your machine, this will be a simple list of the folders and files that you have. click around in that window to get to the folder that holds your photos, if it does not open automatically to the correct folder.

Pick the picture you want and click on it.

Then click on the Open button at the bottom of that window - you may have to scroll down, and you should be good to go.

One caveat, Shiloh has set the bar pretty low for the size of the pictures they allow to be uploaded so you may have to reduce file size significantly, before they will be allowed. You will get a warning message if it is a no go. I don't know the maximum size allowed. If this happens, you will have to reduce image quality on your computer before starting the upload process.

I have to reduce them to 800 width PX hight 600 PX to get it excepted.

Boy, that's unfortunate. Most websites go well over 1000x1000 now.

I just got out of Photobucket and on to my own files. In the box for reducing it says 100 percent and I have to go down to 20 percent for the pictures you see in last 4 of the rolling block thread. I don't know what the pixel count is for 20 percent but it is good size clear pictures. I don't know much about this picture posting business either, especially from my own folders but am slowly picking up bits and pieces from mostly by kids.

Thanks to all. Will give it a go when I shoot those 200 yard targets.
