Hi , I have tried to put some photos on the forum but all I managed to do was put on a box wih a red cross in it.
I have them stored in Documents and then my pictures. Any suggestions please?

Try uploading your photos to a site like photobucket or flicker. those sites will give you a link code for displaying content on forums, also use the 'reply to topic' option below when making your reply.

How do I load them on to photobucket please? Also a lot of my photographs are of grandchildren, is the site secure for privacy?

You have to place them on a site like photobucket. There is no facility on this forum to upload/show pics directly from your computer

Secure? As secure as you posting them on this forum for everyone to see I guess

I do not intend to put photos of family members on the forum, just scenery,but I wondered about access into photobucket of photographs which I store on it.

Is it just me who is confused?

No Rimms you aren't.

If I have it right Daffodil is worried that if she posts pictures via photobucket then it would be possible for someone, somehow, to access pictures of her grand children.

Daffodil - I don't think that is possible to access a photobucket account from a picture that was posted on here.

Even more it would be totally impossible if you had not down loaded pictures of your grand kids to photobucket.

Ok, the link is in the right place (between the two IMG tags) but it should be longer than that - yours ends with /albums but it should end with something like .jpg or .gif before the 2nd IMG tag. You are pointing to the book not the photo  :)

Can you see something that starts with what you put there but is a little longer?
