How do I post those pics with more than one at a time????? Do I copy several, and then paste them all at once in a single post?? HELP! I'll keep experimenting for now. Any step 1-2-3 instructions would be appreciated!

myt I use photobucket.com
Go to their web site. Register, it's free.
Now if you have the pictures on your computor this is how you do it.

Once you have registered click on the Upload photos and videos button.
Once that page comes up there will be a box that says Upload and a button that says Choose Files. You click on Choose Files. Click on My Pictures. It will bring up all of the picture files you have on your computor. Click on the file with the pictures you want to download.
You double click on the picture you want and it will download it to Photobucket. Once the download is complete it will show you the picture and you can put a label on it. Go to the bottom and click on the save and continue. It will then take you to your album.
There is a "bulk" download button you can use if you are downloading more then one picture.

Once you have the pictures downloaded you will see the buttons below the picture. Click on the IMG button, a yellow "COPIED" will come up.
You can click the "back" button until you come back to ranchers.net site.
Go to the post a reply. Click on it and get the cusor flashing. Now put the mouse icon next to the cusor, RIGHT click and you will see another bar come up. Left click on the "copy". The code for your picture will come up. You can click the preview to see your picture.

Now you can go back and forth between ranchers.net and the photobucket and not lose your pictures on the post a reply, but if you do it on cattletoday you will lose it.

Hope this helps.

I have tried to post more then one picture off of photobucket, but I always lost my first one.

When going between photobucket and ranchers, it's easier to have two windows open, or have two tabs open, one with each website. Then copy and paste, back and forth between the two websites.

Highlighting for copy and pastin can be tricky with a laptop that only has the touch pad. But it can be done.

Hold the left button down...while you move your finger on the pad to highlight the words you want. Then right click, click copy....and paste.

Blkbuckaroo, I have a Mac Laptop and the trackpad does take some getting used to. Try slowing the trackpad speed by going to System Preferences then Keyboard & Mouse then on the trackpad speed move the scroll bar to slow down the speed. Hope this helps.

good luck

WalMart has the Logitech Optical Mouse on sale for about $20 bucks. I got one for my desk top AND the laptop (cause I HATE the touchpad deal).

With photobucket there is no need to highlight, like I Luv Herfrds said, just click the IMG and then go back to your post on ranchers, go to edit and paste.
That can be done multiple times on the same post.
I also have a Mac, but not a laptop. I use Safari for photobucket and Firefox for Ranchers, and keep them both open. Does this help Blkbuckaroo and mytfarms? :???:

Yep, that helps! If it means anything, I still haven't got any pics posted! I also have one of those newer iMac computers. Great for must stuff.
