The question of how to add a photo to a post here on a TER discussion board comes up from time to time, especially by ladies who are relatively new to interacting via TER.  These instructions are written for those who have Microsoft Internet Explorer with standard default settings (which most people use) as their browser and have minimal computer skills.

First off, the photo has to be on a web site already.  And it will show on the post the same size it is on the web site.  

1.  Go to the web site that the photo is on.  Find the photo on the site.  Put the cursor (arrow) on the that photo.

2.  Right click with the cursor on the photo.  (Right click means click the right button on the mouse, the one that is not normally used.  Normal mouse clicking is "left clicking.")

3.  A menu window will open up.  At the very bottom of this menu window is "Properties."  Put the cursor (arrow) on "Properties" and click (normal, that is, left click).

4.  A window will pop up.  This window shows the properties of that photo.  In this window, find "Address (URL):"  It will start with "http."  

5.  Highlight this photo URL.  That is, place the curser over the URL, click (left click) and drag the cursor (hold down click bottom while moving the mouse to the right).  The highlighting should be in blue.  Make sure the entire address is highlighted.

6.  With the URL highlighted, place the cursor on the highlighted URL and right click.  A menu window will open up.  

7.  On this menu window, place the cursor on "Copy" and click (left click).  This saves the URL in your clipboard.

8.  Now, time to do your post with the photo.  On a TER discussion board, write a post as you normally do.  To put the photo in, go to the bottom of the page and find the box marked "Picture URL."  You'll see it has an "http://" already in the box.  Place the cursor in that box.  (The arrow will turn to a vertical line.)  

9.  Now, right click.  A menu window will open up.  In that menu, find "Paste."  Place the cursor on "Paste" and click (left click).  The photo URL will now be in that box.

10.  One more thing.  If you highlighted, copied, and pasted the entire photo URL, there will be 2 sets of "http://" in the box.  The photo won't post like this.  So, you have to delete one of the "http://" so there is only one "http://" at the beginning.

11.  That's it.  When you click the "post message" for the post, the photo should appear when the message does.  

A couple of notes:  

Some web sites are "page protected," that is, you won't be able to find the photo address.  When you right click on the photos you'll get a message window that says something like "copywrited material" or "copying prohibited."  You won't be able to post these photos.

Some sites may allow you to find the photo URL but may prohibit linking to it (which is what you're doing by placing a photo in the post).  These sites continuously check for any linking.  You may add that photo to your post and it may show on the post at first, but be removed in 5 or 10 minutes.
