Default Picture help....

I am new to computers, and really don't understand computer vocabulary at all.

Can anybody explain how to put pictures on here, (to a non computer user).

I'm guessing its like explaining how to use a wrench to a person that has never seen one??????

Hopefully I can figure out how to find this page again so I can see if anybody answered.

In order to assist, we'll need a little more information. What does not work? Where does it fail?

I did everything that I saw on the pictures, then the entire process just stopped when I clicked on the Upload. Guess my computer doesn't work with your system.

May be a browser issue or 3rd party software/security software interfering. The attachment system gets quite a bit of use so it should be workable with your computer. What browser are you using, do you have any 3rd party software installed in your browser, and what security software are you using?

I have a Apple Air laptop. I think the browser is called Safari. I don't have a clue what 3rd party software is.

I figured it out!!!! (I think). Apparently my pictures are too big. So now I have to figure out how to take smaller pictures. This is definitely hostile territory for the beginner.

I thought you had to be a Premium Member to use the Manage Attachments feature?

Kind of a moot point, since it doesn't work for me. 92% certain I just can't figure it out, I am a non-computer person.

Safari?
If you've updated recently, that could be your problem. I use an IPad with Safari and videos and pictures have been a problem after I updated to iOS7. Apple has no solution...yet
