My suggestion for pics is to
go to your profile page, just click on your name.
On the right side is a place for you to start an album, click on it.
It will ask you to name your album and maybe post something about it, you do have to name it.
Then find the button near the top that says 'Upload Pictures" and click on it.
You will then find a row of buttons that say "Browse", click on it. It will open your computer files, all you have to do is find the file that has your pics in it. Then go through the file til you find the pic you want and double click on it and it will go into the "Browse" spot. Continue doing this until you are done.
BE AWARE: If your pics are very large, they may not upload, and you may have to downsize them. There is a spot as you are uploading, that does tell you how large the pics need to be.
The advantage to putting them into an album. When it is time to post a picture, you can copy and paste the "BB Code" and put it right into the message part of a post, this way your pictures will be large. Also, you can send people right to your profile page to look at your pictures. To get the BB Code you need to go to your photo album and click on the picture you want to copy, the picture will show up as a large pic, and underneath it you will find the BB Code.
Whew ! I hope I didn't confuse you too much. I think I am confused.
