First picture needs to be reduced to about 700 pixels.
Click on additonal options- find your picture on the computer and attach.
Repeat with each one where  it says more attachments. :)

I know it`s a stupid question, but WHY do we have to pay to post a pic?

[lincsyokel2]

You dont have to pay to post pics.

This site is free, and there umpteen places to upload and host pics that are also free. Why anyone wants to pay money to mess with computers is baffling, its entirely unecessary. Id love to know who the OP paid money to and why, and for what .

I paid as well and am still having trouble posting pictures  mind you I am a novice on the computer, But for all that I thought everyone was paying the £10 fee still a great site  money or no money

There are 2 ways to post photos.  The first way is to use a hosting service like Flickr or Photobucket and include a link to the photo in your post.  That way is free.

The second way is to have your photos hosted on A4A.  Use of the forum is free and Dan pays the costs of providing the forum.  He gets some of that money back when people use Amazon to make purchases and from charging a small fee if people want to have their photos hosted here.

I joined in September last year and have spent over 11 days on line :-[ :-[ :-[-well logged in.
Met some really nice people- in person and on-line, learned loads of tips, and had some good laughs, and shared some people's sadness.
I choose to pay to post photos and reckon that's preety good value.  But if you choose not to or use the free methods thats fine :)

Excellent value at just a fraction over 19 pence a year I think   ;)

 Thankyou for the advice. i have tried using photo bucket but with no success, im not very good on computers at the best of times, i have green fingers not computer fingers, i love coming on this site, there is so much advice on allotment growing, i would have to find a good book to teach me what i have learnt from other peoples experience, so i dont mind paying a small fee , a good book would cost me more than £10.00, i will try again .

Thankyou pumpkin lover, finally managed to get my picture up, i did,nt know you had to resize the pictures, have a fairly new laptop and its so different to my old one, i had to do it in paint , so i have learnt something new today.

i love hanging baskets, that one was the biggest i have ever had, i just dead headed every night and it kept on  blooming, im gonna try again this year from my own seeded petunias, greenhouse is full of baby petunias, cant wait to see the results of my hard work, spent hours pricking them out, only lost a few so far, just keep talikg to them, silly i know, but my grandad was always talking to his plants and his garden was beautiful , fond child hood memories  :D

[pumkinlover]

Well it seems to work and you are in good company with Prince Charles talking to his. I may start talking to mine! :D

[salvation plot]

Is that true, or a joke? didnt know Prince Charles spoke to his plants, they must be very understanding plants i say, glad you replied, i am trying to add some pictures of  my grandson up here, i have done it but i want to put them all in one place, it keeps asking me to name a category or description, and it will only let me download one picture in one category or description, am i doing it right? If you know can you tell me step by step pls as i am a woman, only joking. ???

I've been on here about 4/5 years SP and I still don't know how to post a picture.  :-[

[salvation plot]

Well its not simple i tell you, i think you defiantly have to know alot about computers, so if you dont use computers all the time, your buggered,wish it was around in our school when i went, my kids are really good on it, sometimes wished they still lived here, i would just hand the computer over to them.  :P
