I know I have been told before but I need to post a picture here for some help and can't remember how? Can someone who is not old and senile like me tell me how?

lol parkman, I am approaching ancient, but since I am here right now, I'll try 
Right click on your picture, go to properties,
highlight or select the url address and copy it.
come here paste it in the message windown.
Then before you do anything else, in the front of the paste insert the word IMG and enclose it with the square brackets next to the P on your keyboard. Then at the end of picture code, which usually ends with .jpg ... put the word IMG again this time with a backslash (where your question mark is on the keyboard) and enclose that in the square brackets too.
it looks like this:
[img]http://vendio/parkmark/yourcatstail.jpg
[img]
just dont forget the backslash in the ending img code.
okie? out of here. hope i explained it right

Thank you so much for your help...here it goes.
I have this cup and saucer and cannot read the name on the bottom. I think the part on the top of the mark is hand painted and there is an M in the middle but cannot tell what the rest of it is. Does anyone recognize this pattern. Thanks!!

Try LEFT clicking on your picture first. When it is full sized, follow DBLF's instructions. The M is one of Noritake's marks.

One more thing about it that may help identify it for someone who knows more than me (don't take much). The flowers in this cup have little gold centers that are raised.

If you haven't noticed yet, the work NIPPON is below the logo. That's an indication that this is a pre-1940's item.

One more thing...if it says Nippon on the bottom how can it be Noritake? I am real dumb about glass but picked up this one at a yard sale a while back and thought it was pretty.

The key is the "M" in the maker's mark. That's for the Morimura Brothers - involved in the early days of Noritake. That mark puts it as one from 1911. The wreath is Wisteria.
You might want to look up some of the history of Noritake since it's a pretty interesting story - and you'll be amazed at how many people don't know the quality of Noritake and often refer to pieces in a generic way -- saying "This is a piece of Nippon." When you learn the marks, you can find nice pieces (often in the 1890-1930 periods) when no one else has a clue.
Replacements put out an entire book on Noritake that has the history and shows many, many patterns - many in color. It wasn't cheap, but worth it to anyone who sees enough of it out there.
