Ok so how does everybody do those cool pictures and graphics like they do in the Happy Valentine thread? It is really cool.

What I do, Theresa, is right-click on an image I like and, using the menu that pops up when you right-click, save it in a folder, then do the same thing as when you are uploading photos.

That is, you type

\ image{nameofimage}

- without the space after the \ The name of image can be any name you choose, not necessarily the name you gave the image when you saved it. Be sure to use the squiggly uppercase symbol { and not the lowercase bracket [. Then click on Preview/Post Message, and you will be taken to a window where you click the Browse button to search for and locate your saved image, double-click on the image so its name goes into the proper space, and then click on Upload. Images can take a while to load if you use dial-up service (as I do), and if your image is too big (in terms of kb or mb) eventually you'll get a message telling you so, but eventually it should load.

Do, please, be sure the image you want to post isn't copyrighted. Most sites that have copyrighted images will tell you so, and most gifs like the ones in the Valentine thread are not copyrighted.
