Yes I'm a newbie when it comes to this - just got a brand new laptop and need to now how to put my picture on the screen - any help would be appreciated!:) Thanks,
 
Gina, go to KG's thread about the "Holiday Inn guy from zero to hero in 60 seconds"...and click on the "click here" in post #28. Thanks to The Kitchen Guy for this info. (Even though I still haven;t been able to figure it out.)
Hope that helps...
 
Gina, here's the shortcut to the thread Chris is referring to. Click Here for the Photo Thread. vBulletin doesn't allow actual posting of a photo - but it does allow you to link outside sources. The photos you see within posts actually reside elsewhere. If you like, you can link photos from other websites, like the stir fry pan you'll see in the above referenced thread. Copy the address of the photo and use the little icon you see above this window, the one that looks like a postcard.If you want to post your own photos, you'll have to create an account on a site like photobucket.com to do it. There are other sites like that one, I just happen to use photobucket.(That thread should be a sticky somewhere.)
