Hi all, new to this forum as well as computers in general. Bought a 24" iMac with the 2.93 GHz processor. I love it!! On to the question. I am a member of a G8 forum (Pontiac G8) and want to post some pictures there. The photos are at photobucket. At work, on a PC, I have no problem with this, but at home on the iMac, I can't do it. What am I doing wrong? Please keep explanations as simple as possible as I am a total noob. Thanks in advance!!

There should be no difference. What are you doing and where do you run into trouble?

When you take the pointer over the photo, it opens up a links section. If you select more links, it has a specific one for posting to a forum. On the PC at work, I simply right click the appropriate one and then go back to G8 board and insert the image. No right click on the iMac and I have tried everything I can think of (admittedly that isn't much due to my lack of knowledge).

Ctrl-click or use a 2 button mouse.

If you have a mighty mouse (which you should with that Imac, open system preferences and in the keyboard and mouse tab, configure the right mouse button to "secondary click". Why apple still refuses to do this is beyond me.
