This is copied in its entirely from a post by Annie Milliron. I have never posted a photo here before, but I hope this helps:

HOW TO POST A PHOTO

NOTE: Before you post any picture on to Newf Net, they have to first be uploaded onto some sort of server. Most Newf Netters seem to use websites like fototime, webshots, epson, image station, etc. Many of these are free, or offer trial periods. I use fototime, and will reference to fototime in the method below. I do not subscribe, so my pictures are purged every 30 days. This is no big deal. I just upload them again. These instructions are based on using fototime, so if you use another server, they may differ slightly.

Here are step by step instructions:

Hint: I always have two windows open when posting pictures. One is on Newf Net, the other is on Fototime

1. Upload your picture(s) onto your photo website.

2. Once the picture has been sucessfully uploaded, get a link to the picture.

3. Click on Edit at the top of your browser, and select "Copy"

4. Go back to Newf Net and click on "Post Reply".

5. A reply window will open. If you want to type in a message before you put in your picture, go ahead and type it in.

6. Then, scroll down about half way… until you see the smileys. Next to the smileys are several buttons. Click on the one that says "Image"

7. A small window will open. Click on Edit at the top of your screen, and then click on paste.

8. You should now see your link in the field. Click OK

9. The small window will disappear. Click on the "Add Reply" button at the bottom of your screen.

10. You should eventually be taken back to the message page, and you should be able to see your post with the picture. Sometimes, I have to click on "refresh" to reload the page.

Kimmie... on phototime, when you're viewing the photo there should be a link on the left that says, "Create Link" click that. Once the window comes up, copy the link address.

Come back to NN, and go to "my profile" Click on "View/Update profile," then click on "Select Avatar Image"

When that comes up, paste the link into the "Use Custom URL" box. Click on "Set URL," then "Set this Avatar"

Then, scroll down to the bottom of the window and select, "Update Profile"

You should have it then. If you still have trouble, can you copy the link into a message for me? Then I can make sure you've got the right link.
