To make it easier on the next guy, I have put together the instructions in one place on how to post a photo.
Meanchicken, posting a photo instructions using windows 7
For a photo in your avatar, the photo that shows up when you post. You will find it in your user control panel
First resize a photo using "paint" program.
1. Click Start, Programs, Accessories, then Paint to start Microsoft Paint.
2. Open the image file you wish to edit by clicking upper left image with down arrow, then click open. Select your image and select open. Your photo will show in work area.
3. Click the Image Menu on the top tool bar and select resize and skew window will appear. Select pixels option. Make sure maintain aspect ratio is checked
4. Enter new horizontal pixel at 600, (this is the largest mean chicken will accept), vertical will automatically set itself. Click OK
5. Once you have the desired size, click File button upper left corner, then click Save As... to prevent overwriting the original image. Use image type .png for mobile devices and .jpg for desktop. Close out paint and go back to mean chicken posting area.
For photos in your message, no resizing is necessary
6. Scroll down a ways below the work area where you are typing your message to the “save, preview submit” buttons. Below the buttons is there is a tab for "Options", click it. Below the selection boxes there is a place to select a file for uploading. “If you wish to attach one or more files enter the details below”. Browse for the photo, click open, then click “add the file”.
7. Return up to where you are typing your message, place the cursor in spot you want photo to show.
8. Scroll down to “posted attachments” window, click place inline
9. Check to see that name of the photo shows in proper place in message. Photo does not show up in post until submit button is pushed. You will only see the name of the photo file.
