O.K. We've had our ATC for 3 yrs now and have yet to post a pic. Could someone please explain the simplest way to do it using a Mac Mini . Thanks.

Glen.(Hope I remembered your name right). When I started on WTW many moons ago,it was explained to me about an easy way.
Not being a computer geek this method works well.
I have Mac equipment so,move a photo from your storage, I-Photo or Photos to desktop.
Go to post and click lower right bottom "more reply options". The link comes up to "browse"
click and up comes your desk top items just choose one at a time.Usually you can post 4 pictures
by this method.There are other methods maybe someone will post those.I only know this one.Works good for me.

Just tried that Frank and it says "file too big to upload".

Perhaps this may help - Uploading Photos to Comments

in regards to file size for photos, any photos that I post on the web are a maximum of 1500 pixels wide (or high) and in the neighborhood of 600kb.

Glen I forget to mention when the size window comes up you should size them
medium or large.Usually 2/3 photos per post will work this way.

Give Ski's info a try though.
My best luck is the way I have done it all these years.

On my Mac Mini I did the following:

Open Photos
Find the image to resize
Right click the image
Highlight and click "Edit with"
Click "Preview"
After image opens in Preview, on Menu bar, Click "Tools/Adjust Size"
Make sure it is adjusting in pixels and select 1200 or so. It will scale to the aspect ratio of the original photo
I usually select File/Rename and then File/Move to: and put it into a folder on my desktop named "Misc Photos"
Upload the scaled image to your gallery

Navigate in your gallery to the image to upload.
Click the image to make it larger.
Click the Share links icon
Copy the BBCode
Click the small image icon to the left of the “Font” selection
In the “Please Select” drop down list, click “Extract Blog Entry” and paste the BBCode in the textbox
Your image should show up in the posting.

Just did that for the image below.

If you find errors in these instructions, please let me know so I can correct them

I always just upload the photos to my gallery here on WtW. Seems to have no size restrictions doing it that way, but it IS one at a time and tedious.

Hosting on another site like Flickr, then linking to it from here is an option. Flickr is free. Here’s an example...

Going to have to give it a try when one of the Kids are here I guess. Tried a few times with no luck, went to head to my Daughters place with my new truck and all it would do is turn over and not start and finally sat down to watch some TV last night and couldn't get any sound! 2 of the 3 I can take ,but the truck really has me pissed off!! Thanks for now. Glen.

Thanks all for the info.
Just did a bit of experimenting.
I can just drag a photo I posted to desktop to the PM.
Wow that was so easy.

Dang, I don't think I can do that on an iPad.
