There are two ways:
1. As an attachment to your post. With this, the file size of the picture needs to be under 50Kb. You would click on the gray reply button to get
to the formal reply window (or "quote" if you're wishing to quote the text of someone else's post in your reply) - then below the text of your post,
there's another small text entry field between the word "Attachment:" and a button that says "Browse...". Click the browse button, and select the
image you want to post (again, it needs to be under 50Kb). Then click "Post Reply" and the image will be uploaded with your post.
2. Post your picture elsewhere on the Internet - even possibly a picture sharing site such as Photobucket or Flickr, and use the "Insert an Image"
button - which will ask you for the "URL" of the image that's hosted elsewhere - which you then enter the URL (location) of where the photo is located
elsewhere. The "Insert an Image" button is this one:
Hope this helps.

There is a huge thread in the Baja Photos Forum called 'How to post your Photo on Nomad'... Has several methods besides the one I opened with... It
will tell you how to get the photo size under 50 kb, if the photo is coming from you PC's files... Here is that link: http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=24603
Here is some of what I posted:
TO POST A PHOTO:
Simply click the button labled 'Browse' just below where you type a message, and your pc will pop up a window of your photo files... simply click on
the photo you wish to post (if it is under 50 kbs). The post must have a subject or some text with the photo to post.
IF your photo is over 50 kbs, then here is one method to reduce the size, and make it a duplicate (so the original full size photo is preserved). I
thank Neal Johns for showing me.
(If the photo you want to post is already on another web site, then you may 'hot link' it to Nomad, and the size doesn't matter... unless it isn't too
big and distorts the screen. Hot linking will be described below.)
PHOTOS IN YOUR PC OVER 50 KB, click on each step:
If 'paint' isn't on your deck top, do this (click on):
a) Start
b) All Programs
c) Accesories
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Paint (start here if 'paint' is on your desk top)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) File
3) Open...
3a) then click on the photo to get reduced (double click).
4) Image
5) Sketch/Skew... then change the % down from 100 in both sketch & skew to a lesser number.... (if over 700 kb try 25%, if 400 kb try 35%, if 120
kb try 70%, if 60 kb try 90%)
Continue to Click on:
6) OK
7) File
8) Save As
8a) now type in a new name for the reduced photo or add -r to it to indicate it is the 'reduced' one... this is a copy so you don't mess with the
original.
9) Save
THAT'S IT!
Now, click on file and open again, move your mouse arrow over the reduced photo and see if it is between 25 and 50 kb.
When you move the mouse over the reduced photo in the files, the kb size will show and let you know if you didn't get it low enough, or too low! In
either case, repeat the steps above... working with the original, large photo.
After you do a couple it gets pretty easy.
===================================================
Hot Linking from another web site
If the photo you want to show on Nomad is already on another web site, and it is your photo or you have permission to use it, then get the url of the
photo... and click on
which is right above where you type a message. A pop up will give you a place to paste the url of the photo.
To get the url (begins with http:// ), move your mouse over that photo and right click on it, then left click 'properties' in the new pop up. Copy the
address/ url with your mouse to paste on Nomad in

It's because that thread is on the Baja Events Forum, and for some reason Doug didn't give that forum a BROWSE button to attach photos from your PC...
Only the hot link
icon.
