How Do You Post a Picture along with a Fishing Report?
I can start a thread but can't find the instructions to add a picture. These instructions are for a complete non tech person. Its a pretty rare catch for So FL and thought the report worthy of including a great pic. Thanks.

It used to be hard. You had to have them on a hosting site 1st like PhotoBucket, now you can get them off your computer.
Click on the edit character above that when you highlight it with your curser it says Insert Image. Looks like a outlined square with a tree in it. You will get a pop up window that at the top says Insert Image and just below that it will say from Computer or URL.
Click on computer(it will Highlight) and then at the bottom it says Select Files and click that.
Your computer files will come and just go to the file where your photos are stored and click the photo and click open. Click on the Upload File.



Done!

I hope this helps!!!

So how do you post a picture that isn't HUGE! They show up HUGE on my computer when someone posts a picture, the banner on the right overlaps it.

Not sure why your monitor is displaying "huge" pic.
My computer screen resolution is 1280X800 (also running win 7 pro)
Pictures are taken from a Samsung Galaxy j7 perx phone ........... which I really have not learned how to do more than take or place a call and how to take a picture. All the settings on the phone are whatever are the factory default settings.

Like I said, why can't someone post a sticky on how to post a pic and stop the daily questions?

How to resize pix so it is not so large

John McKroid

The size of the photos depends on how many pixels they were when posted.   Most phones take huge photos that post way too big,  a 640x 480 megapixel is plenty big.  It can be resized on software such as photoshop, look under "save for web".  Any good photo software editing software will have a way to resize a photo as do most phones.

This photo is 1600x 960



and this one was originally 640 x 384



When downloaded into the post, both photos are smaller than they open on my computer, thus FSM website is also reducing the size from the original upload.

Interesting, when I was editing the posts, one photo appeared larger than the other, once posted, they are both reduced by the FSM website.   That's a nice feature, at one time, the photos would get rejected if they were too big.  Looks like I won't have to be concerned about that anymore.
