I wanted to add this to the main seedling thread, but I am only capable of adding photos through the "upload attachment" link, which disappears when replying to another thread/post. Here's my best baby (started 4/13):

Very good-looking seedling.

If you're trying to post an image via Flickr or something like that, see Steve_D's reply here: http://www.flytrapcare.com/phpBB3/the-f ... ml#p149957


Here's how to post a pic to an existing thread, whereas the image exists on your computer (as opposed to online somewhere such as Flickr, Photobucket, etc.):

1. First, go to the thread: http://www.flytrapcare.com/phpBB3/the-f ... 15568.html

2. Scroll to the "Quick Reply" area at the bottom of the first page, and click the "Post Reply" button instead of using the Quick Reply method (which doesn't have a way to add attachments).
Alternately there is also a "Post Reply" button at the very top of every page as well. 3. Click the Upload Attachment tab under the large text box, and then click the "Choose File" button to attach a photo. 4. Once selected, click Add File. This will attach the image to your pending reply. 5. Once attached, type up your reply in the large text box and click Submit as usual.
Note: The "Place Inline" button is what I used to attach these images in the middle of my text, or "inline". If I hadn't used "Place Inline", all four of these screen shots would appear at the very bottom of this reply, after all the text.

Thank you, Veronis, for taking so much time to help me with my frustration. Much appreciated. Same to you, Steve. And everyone else who has attempted to teach me about this mysterious device they call a computer. All of my computer photos are over 1 MB, so I was told to go to a site that will resize them, such as Flickr, on this thread: http://www.flytrapcare.com/phpBB3/probl ... 16099.html No one told me how to then get them back onto this site, so there were lots of fun experiments involved. In a few cases, I resized them and sent them back to my computer, but it would not let me specify which folder in Pictures I was putting them in, so then I spent forever searching through my picture folders like a moron. Anyway, I'm going to try to add a picture right now: Yay! I think maybe I got it (for now)!

Inserting the picture worked! Thanks for letting everyone see your beautiful Flytrap, sbrooks.
