Tips

1. Try to keep your photo descriptions brief and to the point.

2. Feel Free to create new categories for photos.

3. Try to watch out for duplicates if you can.

4. Same rules that apply to our entire forum apply to the posting of photos.

5. Try to size your pictures to be viewed in just one screen.

How about from "My Pictures"

Your own personal pictures? If that's what you mean, you have to upload them to a progam like an HP image upload program that converts them to url's http format.

Does that answer your question?

Try clicking on the option in "my pictures" that says "publish to the web" .. don't know what kind of program you have.

I upload mine with HP software.

7. paste the URL into the ALIPAC posting screen

Someone forgot to mention on #7

7. paste the URL into the ALIPAC posting screen>>>>>>>> by pressing Ctrl + V

How do I post pictures from say, My Pictures, Email or My documents when they have an address for my inbox or an address programed for my PC?

You have to upload the pictures to an online storage, like photobucket.com. It will copy pictures from your computer files to an online file, then you post the URL on Alipac.
