Tinypic

[netibiza]

Am trying to email photos via tinypic but cannot send messages at the same time.  So recipient only receives a photo and no message. Am not very computer literate so answers in easy terms please.  Is there an easier way???

[Cetti]

Please forgive me if you already do this but wouldn't you find it easier sending your pics as an attachment then you can write as much as you want?

[netibiza]

Cetti - but I don't know how to do that!!!

[Cetti]

Oh, bless your heart netty, I'll take you through it in easy stages.

1. You will already have New Message (for email ) in front of you, right?
2. Go to the top and select Insert
3. Then click on File Attachment.
4. Find your chosen picture and click on it. then look for the box to your right which will say Attach, then click on this.

Repeat steps 2 - 4 for additional pictures. See how you go. Shout if you need any more help!

Cetti - Help!!! I am on Yahoo.  I compose then write message, I click on attach file and put photo on File 1- then examinar (it's a spanish computer) then I open it, then attch file again and it says wait while attaching file, but it stays like that forever.  There must be an easier way.

[Cetti]

You would be difficult and have a Spanish computer, wouldn't you. LOL!  It doesn't matter the principle should be the same.

I've just found an 'Attachment Help' specifically for Yahoo and Hotmail etc, so this should be better than my instructions.

Try this one.

Of course it would be better if I'd put the link. Try again:

Cetti - it was helpful but still didn't work, so have gone into Yahoo homepage and clicked on Photos and have managed to send myself a photo that way, but it's not easy is it.  There was a photo of my friend's son on it already which she had sent to me in March!  How good am I?? Thanks very much, I think half the trouble is my computer being Spanish and English, I think it's missing some things!!

I think the easiest way to do this is as follows.
Put your pictures and messages in a folder and then zip it up. Then send an e-mail to the recipient with the zipped folder as an attachment. When the recipient opens the zipped file all the stuff you put in it will still be there. You can put as many items in the folder as you like but after being zipped you only have to deal with one attachment. Also zipping will make the file smaller so up/down loading is faster.
If the recipient does not have a zip utility simply make a self extracting file (sfx) which they can access.
I use ZipGenius at this link.

Hope this helps.

Oh gosh guy now my mind is really boggling but I'll try.  Thanx

[Cetti]

This is from the Yahoo Help site netty, and it's practically the same instructions that I gave you. Insert, Browse, Attach and Done.

Have a go with this Yahoo Help:

Cetti, Cetti, Cetti. That was the one.  It worked.  Don't ask me how, but by clicking on a lower attach files it made all the difference.  Thank you so much.  Will probably ask you again tomorrow as I'm at that age!!!

[Cetti]

I'm so pleased, I knew you would do it. Now there will be no stopping you. Well done and drinkies all round!!!
