Yes you can teach old dogs new tricks!
Posting to this forum is very easy! Here are some tips on how to do it: (For ease of use, become a member of the board and log in.)
NAVIGATING THE FORUM and POSTING YOUR COMMENT
Go to the HOME section. There you will see on the LEFT SIDE all the Main Bulletin Boards where POSTINGS (Threads) are placed.
On the RIGHT SIDE of the window are the Subjects (Messages/Threads) posted as well as the Time and the Author of the message. Clicking on any of these Threads will take you to that page.
In a glance, you will know if there are new messages posted. (Check often for up-to-date messages.)
If you want to START a discussion, CLICK on "Create Thread" which appears on the same line as the MAIN or SUB-BOARD. Anybody can start a discussion (Guest or Member). However, members do not need "authentication". You can also go directly to the (new) Thread or post and click on REPLY.
A new page will open where you can Write a TITLE or Subject. ICONS appearing below the Subject line are for EDITING your post; adding a photo; highlighting text or making them bold; or changing their colours.
ADDING a PHOTO. It is important to know how this works. To add a photo, your picture must have a "web address" (must be online). There are many web photo hosting sites. I use PHOTOBUCKET. Create an account on PHOTOBUCKET and you can UPLOAD all pictures from your camera or phone FOR FREE. In a separate window, open your PHOTOBUCKET Library. Navigate to a photo you wish to "share" or "include" in your "thread" in (4) above.
Right-click that photo and "Copy Image Address". Go back to your "thread" and look at the "icons" below the SUBJECT. When you click a tiny box that appears to the left below ADD POLL (above), a window will appear that says INSERT IMAGE. If you "paste" the web address of your Photobucket image in this window, your PHOTO will appear on your "thread". You will see your photo, if you are working on the "preview pane" (See and click PREVIEW which appears below this window (left most).
If your picture does not appear, then there is an error. Don't worry! You can correct the error by going back to the sequences of steps in (4) above.
Did you know that we have a lot of photos on the web? Google SEARCH "birdiehunters images" and you will see a lot of photos (including yours perhaps - yes, you are famous!) If you want to add any photo (already on the web), just click on that image and COPY IMAGE ADDRESS. Then click on the ICON to the right of the "envelope/email icon". An "Insert Image" window will pop up. "Right click" and "paste" the address you copied. Check to see (by clicking on PREVIEW - lower left side of window) you post.
All these procedures apply when you REPLY, QUOTE, or POST QUICK REPLY.
It is a lot of fun to learn to do this. You will think you are a genius! EXPERIMENT! TRY IT! POST IT. EDIT IT! You can contribute to the excitement of this forum!
