New and befuddled

[Agnes]

Hi everyone, I am new here, and would love to share some of my work so you guys can give me feedback, BUT, when I go to manage attachments it says "You may not post attachments

Agnes, you need to have 5 posts before you can embed photos into your threads. So give two more replies to people and you're there.

Oh thanks so much for your help. Does that one count ?

Yes, now one more and you can post your photos (you have them stored with a picture host already? Such as Photobucket, or Flickr, or any of the many others?)

Also, when you want to post a photo, remember that what you need to do is to put an all-caps IMG inside of brackets, like this

and by following that format, your image will be hot-linked right inside of your post!

Ok, so now I have 8 posts but it still tells me I may not post attachments?

There's a difference between posting attachments and posting the images as linked to a PhotoBucket (or similar) account.

When you go to your PB account, look for the line with the IMG Code tag. Looks like this:

Copy what's in there, then simply paste it here.
