UPDATE FROM CONNIE
Below the dotted line are instructions from Carl that were vital before the recent board upgrade. I will leave them in place for the moment in case they are still useful in any way. But I believe that the recent upgrade makes attaching files and photos a lot easier.
When you are in the process of writing a new post or a reply, you wil see a clickable line at the top of the box you are writing in that says, " Add attachment."
1. Click on this box and you will see the option to "add file."
2. Click on that and it will take you to your desktop where you can choose the file you want to add.
3. The only trick here is that you don't immediately see anything happen. But trust that it has.
4.Click on the option at the bottom of the window that allows you to post the message and the file you've attached should appear in your post.
