PepsiTheHorse Posted March 9, 2021 Share #1 Posted March 9, 2021 Hello, I'm new here. Sorry to bother you but I've been wondering something for years now. I have these two model ships that my great grandfather built, I think they might be from scratch but I'm not sure, I read the post about submitting questions asking for ships, and they they might just be worthless and that's ok, I just want to know if anyone knows what it is. Thank you in advance. I am unaware on how to add images though, besides the URL path bruce d, Keith Black, Gus M and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Lad Posted March 9, 2021 Share #2 Posted March 9, 2021 Hello, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'. What a great thing to have models that your Grandfather made! At the bottom of the posting window you'll see a paper-clip with the text, "Drag files here to attach, or choose files". Just click on that to open the photo attachment dialogue.

Snug Harbor Johnny Posted March 9, 2021 Share #5 Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) I've been 'dragging' pictures from my camera (once plugged into a USB port on my PC) onto the desktop (these are copies of what was photographed with the camera). Then as I add to my log, I just 'drag' the photo on the desktop into the space just below the text I entered, and release. Shazzam, a copy of the picture them appears on the log below the text! That seems pretty easy. Then I drag the desktop icon of the photo onto the file icon I've left on the desktop, and the picture then is moved from the desktop into my file - that helps keep the desktop from getting cluttered.
