HVX virus

Post by Denise »

Hi,

Just found out I had the virus in about 5-6 of my hostas. How do I upload a picture to show you.

Welcome Denise,

When you are posting a new topic or a reply there is a tab below the text field with options and another tab to add an attachement to your topic, now labeled Add Picture or File.

Click on that tab and a new field shows up, click on the Browse... button (don't worry if your cursor disappears, when it does just click your mouse button). This will bring up a new box on your computer so you can find the picture or file you want to add, once you find it click OK and the file name will appear in the box. Add a comment if you want, then either click on Preview, Submit, or click on Add the file. After you have added the file you can actually add additional picture the same way.

Some important notes, though, before you start: the picture has to have a file size less than 150 kb and if it is a jpeg image the file name has to end with .jpg or .jpeg Best thing is to edit the original camera file so it is smaller (6 x 8 is fine for most monitors) and then save it with medium quality or medium compression. This will give you an image well within the 150 kb size.

Hope that helps, and I'll watch for your pictures.

Chris
