Hi, I have now given up trying to put on pictures on my postings (I think it is that my computer is just not powerful enough).

So, if Admin Bear says it's ok then I will put up some descriptions of freebies and if anyone wants a pic I will have to email a pic to them.

Rather than spending the rest of your life trying to describe stamps, it might be better to spend a little time now describing what the posting problem was. If your computer is 'powerful' enough to scan a picture and send it by email, which it apparently is, it should be powerful enough to put it in a host and link it to us.

Can you send
1)a step by step statement of how you tried to post it
2)at what point it went wrong
3)the symptoms of the failure e.g. what error message did you get and from whom?

If you have the pictures already on your computer then get a free Photobucket account and then upload them to your account there. Simply copy the IMG code and paste it here in the body of your message. Here is the link to Photobucket - smg.photobucket.com/
If you need any help or assistance with this, then by all means contact me either here, PM or email. I'd be glad to help.

Another neat program I use to "clean up" scans, pictures, or any image is Picasa 3. You can simply Google it or use one of these links to download it.

en.softonic.com/s/picasa-3

www.downloadinfo.co/lp/picasa/142/?_u=i8nof1vaqni01p1unlvhs4akjo47mmo72u99j3nob22svvhse7l0-cca8aa92f3c21eb211e18b27e4ca4b80

I use this program to run my scanner via the import function then, after I adjust the image I'll upload it/them to photobucket then m post. Cheers!- Jeff

I collect United States Classics, classic covers, Tobacco related covers & bill-heads and World fair ephemera (prior to 1930's)

Did you hear the joke about the unstamped letter? You wouldn't get it.

No you cant Lynn. You have to use a third party site like Picassa, Photobucket, Postimage.com. etc.
