pictures of my family and I
Not the greatest at this but try this:
Go to Media Gallery on the front page of DR1 and click on that.
Then on the bottom there is a little sign that says "To post a picture click here, so you click there
then it asks for your name and email and then you can attach the picture, and off it goes!

I you learn html codes you can post to a board that supports hyper protocol transfer links, but that means your pictures must be on a valid website and not just on your computer drive.

let me try to explain
The problem you had a first is that you told us where the photo was on YOUR computer. Unfortunately for us, we do not have access to your computer. The is actually a good thing, but that is another subject.
In order for us to see the picture, it has to be availible on a public website that our computers can access. You then have two alternatives
A: upload (send) the picture to Rob through the media gallery. He then puts it on dr1, which is a public web site that we all access.
B: you can put it on your own website if you have one. Then you could post the link (the address of the picture in the top of the browser window) in a special format that will allow the board and the browser to display the picture in the board... this is what Hlywud is talking about.

When I put the pic up there I didnt know that it would pop up as that. What I did was scan it then saved it as that and tried to post it. I do not know very much about computers Just barley how to type.
As far as someone getting in my computer, I have Norton Internet Security, Can they still get in?

You are fine with Norton Internet Security, it will block port scans and you are safe.
shadley000 is partially right!
You can send the pictures from your computer to the media gallery just as you did.
But in order to put the pictures on the board there arre two ways
1. is called a link, example hear is a link to a cartoon on a website, a click on it and it will open.
http://www.worldisround.com/articles/7874/photo11.html
2. is called html or vb codes where you put the computer language in formatted letters coding telling the computer which website to transfer the picture from.

Not only can you upload pictures but music can be uploaded as well but that is a real bandwidth (internet space) user.
Don't be to upset because it takes awhile to learn just like opthalmic surgery, just use the the media gallery and send to Rob to put on this site.

It helps to try to make a distiction between the address or link for something and the actual object. The object itself is the actual picture, the address tells us how to find it. that distinction can sometimes be confusing.... When you want to show someone a file, you either need to send the actual file or put it in a public place for viewing.
A analogy to a house might work
C:\My Documents\My Pictures\sandybandy1.JPG
this is like saying the picture is on the shelf in the living room of my house. In fact it doesnt even tell us which house. And even if we knew, Norton Internet security would keep us out.
http://www.worldisround.com/articles/7874/photo11.html
this is like saying the picture is at the public library named "www.worldisround.com". The "/articles/7874/" part tells us what shelf its on.
A port scan would be someone checking all the entry points to your computer. This would be like someone going around your house and checking all the windows and doors to see if they are locked. Norton makes sure everything is locked.
Hope that helps

Shadley it helps very much. I am not a ditz its just that computers are very confusing. Its like a baker trying to put an engine back together.

FYI: A port is useless to an intruder unless you have a server running on your computer that answers requests on that port (FTP server, WEB server, E-MAIL server, ...). Port scanning is like looking for a store worker at a store counter. The counter may be open but it does no good without someone standing behind the counter waiting to get you the product you need.
Good software (Zone Alarm, etc.) will prevent programs on your computer from servicing port requests without your knowledge and permission. For example, you may install and run a program, but not be aware it is giving out information to external internet requests (aka, acting as a server).
