There's a tutorial on this Forum some where, but bearing in mind I am not a computer whiz, the main thing is to find the picture you want on your computer, shrink it down to a certain size, and then upload it to the Forum.
Using Windows 10, I first open the desired shot, then click on "open with paint" and click on "resize." That brings up the image and you will see it is too big. So you click on the function that has to do with "pixels." Reduce the horizontal number of pixels down to a 1,000 (and the vertical will adjust automatically). Click "save as" if you want to label said picture.
The you go back to the desired "thread" (topic of discussion). First you click on "Reply to Topic" and then a window opens up and you click on the little camera icon on the upper right corner.
From there, you click on the "browse" button and all your pictures will show up. Enter the name of the picture you just labeled and select it by left clicking on it. When, or if, the little blue file label pops up, you click on the "post new reply" button in the bottom of the window, after you type in whatever you want to write.
Two buts: if you use things like - # , the picture might not upload. Second, sometimes the image won't upload anyways just because it is feeling ornery, and you have to re-attempt a time or two.
Hope that is simple enough. I like simple. That is why I like Tyco.
We are eager to see what you have to post. At least I am, I never get tired of looking at this stuff.
