No wonder there was confusion in the ranks...

Internet Explorer does it Differently than NetScape!

Here's the steps to post a picture on Pet Talk using the Internet Explorer Browser...

** Open a Pet Talk post in one window; and your Photo Hosting web page in another window. Display the Thumbnail or next size up photo that you want to post.

* Point you mouse ON TOP of the photo image
* RIGHT-click ON the photo
~~ A drop-down box will appear with the following active choices:
~~~ Save Picture as
~~~ Set as Wallpaper
~~~ Set as Desktop Item
~~~ Copy << IGNORE THIS / DON'T USE IT!!
~~~ Add to Favorites
~~~ Properties << This is what we use!!

* Point to Properties
* RIGHT-click on Properties
~~ Another drop-down box titled "Properties" will appear
* Find the line labeled "Address: (URL)"
~~~ It will Start with "ht tp:// and End with ".jpg"
*Put the cursor on the "H" in http
* HOLD DOWN the LEFT-mouse clicker and
* Scroll across the whole address - get it ALL highlighted (might take up two lines).
* Release the left mouse button
~~ You should now have Highlighted the whole address
* POINT to the highlighted address
* RIGHT-click on the highlighted address
~~ Another drop-down will appear with "Copy" an active item
*POINT to and RIGHT-click on the word "Copy"
~~~ You have now memorized the photo location address

** Come back and Open up the Pet Talk window again
* Find the "IMAGE" Push Button
* LEFT-click the IMAGE button
~~ A data box should open
* POINT to the empty area inside the box
** RIGHT-click inside the box
~~ Another drop-dow appears with PASTE active
* Point to and RIGHT-click the Paste choice
~~~ You should see the photo address appear inside the box
~~~ It will start with "ht tp:// and end with ".jpg"
* Click on the OK inside the data box

~~ Now you should see the photo address inside the Pet Talk Message window. It will have an [im g] in front of and an [/im g] behind the address. The whole image line will look like this...

[im g]http://wsphotofews.excite.com/022/ka/gF/Qm/fG70377.jpg[/im g]
(but those two spaces in the [im g] and [/im g] WON'T be there.)
