in order to post pictures here on Fatsecret, the image needs to be available online, as Fatsecret generally don't host images. There IS a group that can be used for this, but I would rather recommend that you use Imgur, which is a free photo sharing website. There is no sign-up needed, it's completely anonymous and free. Also, it's easy to use. What else could you possibly ask for? 1. Go to www.imgur.com 2. Upload the picture you want to post (using the "computer" button) or paste/enter the link (using the "web" button) on the website. IMPORTANT! Before you hit the "Start Upload" button, check the "Edit Your Images" option. You will need this in a moment. Your image will now upload and will be shown in an image editor. 3. In the upper right corner, you can change the size of the image. Change the largest number to 480 (if the largest number is less than 480, just leave it untouched). The other number will automatically change to keep aspect ratio. This ensures that the image will look nice in your journal or forum post. 4. Click "Save" at the top of the web page. Your size-adjusted image will now save and be ready to use. 5. At the right side of the Imgur web page you will find a number of links. The second one (saying "Direct Link" ) is the one you need. Right-click the link underneath, and choose copy. You now have your photo ready to paste into your forum post or journal. 6. Go to www.fatsecret.com, and go to the place where you want to write your text - a forum, journal, group or anywhere else. 7. Write your text, and put your cursor where you want the image to be inserted. 8. Click the little icon. The text editor will now insert a text saying "[img ][ /img]" 9. Put your cursor in between the middle brackets, right click and choose "paste". The link you copied from Imgur will now be inserted between the brackets. The finished product should look like this: [img ]http://www.x.com/example.jpg[ /img] NOTE! If you don't see the little icons (there is also other icons there), then click "advanced" and they should appear. 10. You're done 

I posted a message for downloading! 

Won't work! Here it is!Suzy helped me with downloading pictures. I would suggest opening up a free account with Imgur. It is a wonderful site for downloading pictures. Once you understand downloading pictures on the site, you click on the BB Code for downloading, when you hit the icon in front of the BB Code it will say copied. (I have only figured this out on a laptop, not a phone.) The copied picture is now in the copy mode saved. Then you go to the FS Image icon at the top of your journal entry box. You then hit Ctrl key and V at the same time, with your cursor over the image icon at the same time. This will paste it to the icon and download it. At least that is the way you do it on my laptop. So you copied from Imgur, then paste to FS Image icon. Hope this helps you. Bye Bye Warren 

Keep trying it will work, finally! 

I tried it with Google photos. Didn't work. 

Keep trying the way we direct you, and you will get it. It takes trial and error. 

Thanks peeps 

I LOVE Imgur. It's complicated too, but you learn Imgur, it's fantastic. 

Or Photobucket can host your photos for free and then you copy and paste the photo link into your FS journal.
