I have been receiving email on how to post pics. Someone(Laturkeyhtr) emailed me instructions and they seem to work really good, so I will share them with everyone :)

First,
have you signed up with photopoint yet? If not that's the first step;
it's free. Go to their web site www.photopoint.com (http://www.photopoint.com) . Get you a password
and user name. Once you do, then scroll on down their instructions; I
think you click "more info" or something like that to get to the section
on e-mailing photos. What I do is e-mail photos I want to include in my
album to photopoint. Once you do, you'll get a confirmation e-mail from
them that the photos are there. They'll be in the "incoming" section but
to post them on the forum, you'll have to move 'em to another category.
The only one that seems to fit is "recreation". To do this, you click
the little box below the picture, then go to the section to the left of
your screen; a little box there will show "incoming". Click on the arrow
beside it until "recreation" is displayed. Then click "move". That'll
get your picture from "incoming" to "recreation". To post it on the
forum, check the box below the pix, then click on the pix itself. It'll
enlarge it, but there will be writing around it. Click on it the second
time so nothing but the pix is shown. Then, in the "location" box at the
top of your screen is the data displayed for that picture. Highlight it,
go to edit and click "copy". Wait...you ain't through yet! Go to the
forum, write your new message about the photo you're about to display,
click edit and then "paste". Then, and this is very important. At the
beginning of the data that came up when you pasted, put . That's
the square ones; not the ( ) ones. At the end, put . The slash
goes with the one at the end. That oughta do it.

You are not stupid...just inexperienced. I am not sure how to post through homestead. I use photopoint. Go to there website and set up an account. It does not cost anything. Then follow the instructions that I posted.

Good Luck

Thanks Sportsmaster, I'm seeing this for the first time. I missed the buck pole but wanted to share my pic of my first buck, (bow or gun). I just got my cropped enlargement back and scanned it onto a disk. I have an account set up with PhotoPoint and sent the file to them. I got back this message:

winmail.dat - Ignored - Couldn't successfully convert file

One or more of your photos could not be processed. For more
information on possible reasons why, and how to correct the
problem, please see: http://www.photopoint.com/howcome.html

This was the only explanation that seemed to fit:

A photo larger than 2048x2048. Solution: this usually happens when you scan a photo in at too high a resolution and the resulting photo is too large for us to process. Photos should typically be scanned
in at anywhere from 75 to 150 DPI. See your scanner documentation for more details.

I got my photo scanned at Kinko's so I don't know how many DPI's. I'm not sure if it is larger than 2048 x2048 as listed above? The copy I scanned was a 4" x 6". The file is a .jpg and 106.5 KB big. I have emailed this to a couple of friends and it opened up no problem. Does anyone have an idea what might be wrong?
