The Mac really isn't that different. The biggest problem I see is if you are trying to use that shutterfly link, it won't work. Go to the picture you want--open it in the large screen (not the thumbnails). Then, control click (hold down control while you click, it's how you right click on a mac) and scroll down to "open image in new window". Then, highlight that text, and open-apple C to copy it. That is your link.
then, follow the instructions: [*img]shutterfly link here[*/img] (take out both * first)
If you post three picture attachments back-to-back w/ no text replies in between, any new pictures posted after that will replace the old ones... You can bypass this by entering a reply with no pictures in it (ie add 3 pictures, then reply with a text post, then add more pictures).
When you're adding a ticker from the Tickerfactory...
Apparently the ticker can often come with characters in its URL which confuse the vb code here. In such cases, you can go to www.tinyurl.com, change the URL to a different (shorter) URL, and try using that one. I understand that even the tinyurl may not work... in that case, try again (and perhaps again). There's an "open new window" on the www.tinyurl.com page which allows you to test your new URL before using it - I encourage you to do this!
Okay, so I uploaded a pic in the testing forum but when I right click it, I don't see anything about "properties" or the picture's url. What am I doing wrong?

Perhaps you are on a Mac rather than a PC? On my PC, if I right-click on the picture, it gives me a list with "properties" on the bottom - I choose that and look at the address and get http://www.amitymama.com/vb/attachme...postid=1467613
For a Macintosh, use "control-click" rather than "right-click"... ie hold down control while you click - that's how you right click on a Mac.
I have tried and tried again a million times to attach a new photo for my siggy. I have read all the info and still can't figure it out. It is so silly becauae I had one before. Every time I try to attach it in the test forum, it says that it isn't the right kind of file. It is jpg though so what am I doing wrong?
