From that you can locate a file on your own computer and upload it directly to the Website. Note: you can not PREVIEW the message when including a photo in it. It won't post this way and you'll have to start over. ALSO, since the picture will be stored on the IPS web space, so image files must be 100k or smaller in size; this is plenty big for a good .jpg file about 500-600 pixels wide. …
