I have been for the last hour (and have given up) trying to upload a photo on here. I don't understand how to do it, so could someone tell me in simple terms how to do it. I have got it onto photo bucket and that's it. Thank you and yes I know I'm thick! |  | | |  |

Right click on the image - copy image address, make sure it ends in .jpg or .png and paste into your post.
I always use imgur for stuff like that it's much quicker |  | | |

First thing is...don't use Photobucket!!!
This is because of last month's fiasco where they demanded $399 per annum from all their users for a service that was previously free, and stopped millions of images displaying without warning.
Photobucket Breaks Image Links Across the Internet

They have broken all my links on this forum.
For now I am using imgur
When add an image to this forum you need to put in the image url, including .jpg but not any surrounding code such as [IMG]:

Thanks for the info but I still can't understand it. I didn't think adding a photo from my photo library would be so difficult. Where would I get the image url including jpg from? | | | |

HarrowRoadR it needs to be on the internet somewhere to post on the forum, so you'd need to upload it to a website first (as others have said, imgur is a good one and easy to use). You can't embed an image straight from your photo library unfortunately.
When you have uploaded it to imgur, you can paste the URL of that page containing the image onto the forum. |  | | |

This is my mum on the day they put up the plaque at St. Jude's hall right opposite where she lived. It absolutely made her day when she met and had her photo done with Stan. She was a big Rs fan and had her arthritis not got the better of her would still have gone down to LR. She sadly passed away three years ago aged 89 but had some wonderful memories at LR. | | | |

That didn't display because you didn't have .jpg at the end. To get the correct url (address) I right-clicked on the link you provided and got the image url (address):
https://i.imgur.com/TaZNYE7.jpg
Please put that in, and it should work. [Post edited 28 Jul 2017 12:16]

Thank you very much, my old brain just couldn't work it out. If I'm shown I'm fine but as you can see reading instructions I'm useless!
