You will need to have a scanner, in order to save the pictures onto your computer.

Then, if you reply in this thread, click on Go Advanced (when starting a new thread you always have the Advanced options).

Scroll down and click on Manage Attachments. Then click on Browse, look for the file where the photo is on your computer, and select the photo. Then click on Upload, then ok. This should work unless the photo is too large (too many KBs); if so you will have to find a way of reducing it.

Then when you post your reply. the picture will be an attachment.
