Oh, you're gonna love this.

For some time now, I can't open up ANYTHING (pictures, attachments, etc.) in Outlook Express.

I have to go to my original Verizon mail to open up anything, or my hotmail address.

And I know all about going to the body of the message before I click on insert.

Believe me, I used to do this stuff all the time.

Then one day, dear old Alan sat at the computer.

from that day on, I can't attach, insert or do ANYTHING in outlook. I'm lucky I get mail and I can read it. lol

Melody

Now we have to find out why Jo can insert graphics into her emails, and the rest of us can't.

Very confusing.

I'm hesitant about downloading any software to my computers (specifically to put graphics into emails). I once did that, and there was malware, and spyware, and I went nuts.

So this would be perfect.

The graphics really are beautiful. I mean, just look at this one.



Oh well, we'll keep plugging along.

Koala,
what email program did you try it with outlook express or Thunderbird or another one?

I have my Thunderbird email at the default settings for the image insert part.

my mail sending settings were not right on my OE but finally was able to do a test image with it and it worked for me too.

I did it sll over again using OE and was able to send it to myself. Now all I have to do is get it to work on here.

Nope...didn't happen. I officially give up!

Kaola:

All you have to do is copy and paste the codes (the bottom ones), into any posting you do. To me, this is the easiest thing I have ever done.


It's the email inserting I just cannot master. I mean, you have to save the image to your hard drive, then do the email.

But inserting it in a post, well all you have to do is go to glitter graphics and choose the graphic, look down to the bottom of the page, where there's two lines of codes.

You choose the bottom line of code. You copy it into your clipboard, and then when you come here, you just click paste.

You can do this either by using your mouse to right click the options, copy and paste, or you go up to the top of your screen where it says Edit, and you select copy and paste from there). Try doing that. I once was in a translating website and the right clicking of the mouse wouldn't do anything.

I had to go up to the top of the screen, click on edit and then finally, I could copy and paste.

Give it a shot.
