What am doing wrong?

[pingu]

Trying to upload pics (never done it b4).

Using a free pic hosting thingy but it limits pic to 25kb.....if I compress that much the pic is a blur!

Something I am doing wrong or do I need to pay to host pics?

register at photobucket.com
its free

all you do is load yer pic to there in your own personal file.keep both photobucket and sv sites open and then copy and paste into your post.

Pingu..I am a bit of an IT moron and the best I have found is Image Shack.

Just go to their home page.....click on browse to find the pic on your pc. Then click "Host it" Then simply copy and post the forum link url and paste it on the site.Dead easy! :lol:

Jim... the little assistant dude can be found in Word. You just have to get him outta there.
Should be under Help and you have to choose who you want as your assistant. I used to use the prof guy cos he made me laugh a bit.

I dont know too much about comps myself but i know the bits that make my using them easier and faster.

To copy paste you can
1/ Move your mouse cursor to the begining of what you wanna copy. Hold down the left mouse button and move cursor to highlight the section you want.Let go of mouse button when text has been highlighted. Move cursor back onto highlighted area and right click. Choose copy. Click where you wanna paste and right click and paste.
2/ same as above but you can use keyboard for the copy and paste functions. Hold down Ctrl & press c to copy the highlighted text and then hold Ctrl and press v to paste it.

Hope thats all easy enough to follow and has helped a bit.
