Please explain in simple terms how I can include an illustration in a post. I tried to follow the available information but came unstuck at the references to avatars. Do I need one, and if so how do I get one?

Thank you Mark, so far so good. It looks as if I don't need an avatar. However problem 2. I note that I can only send gif or jpg images. I can save scanned images as JPEG, TIFF, PICT and one or two others, including various others on Photoshop, but no sign of gif or jpg. Again am I missing something obvious?

Harry, are you using a Mac?

What version of Photoshop are you using?
Use the save as, or save for the web function...

Harry,

I sometimes change the .jpeg name to .jpg and then it works - it is the name that is stalling the upload, not the file.


Sometimes.

Thank you gentlemen; I think I'm almost there. Yes I use a MAC (sorry, it's what I'm used to!!)

Oh well, I should have known - expectation over experience - story of my life!!
Thanks Ted, I tried renaming the JPEG to JPG as you (and my daughter) suggested, but the image is not recognised as a real jpg image and so refuses to upload it.
I will dragoon one of my dan grades to sort this out - he is a computer professional, so maybe...?
