Image upload test 2

The same way I did it last.

Now by using "Additional Options".

[Jonas Pilot]

...It worked!

I'll probably never know what I was or wasn't doing. I think I got "messed up"

I tried to respond on the first "Work Bar" to As: and Show:
Maybe that's where I lost it? Can anyone explain these pull down menu's?

Thanks to all those that made my images magically appear.

[Rattlesnake Gal]

JP, have you become more familiar with the pull down menus or would you like some help?

[Jonas Pilot]

I would love to be able to ad more that one thumbnail to a forum post. I think this would let the poster tell a story better.

I also wish that I could up-load multiple images to the gallery at one time. Is this possible?

Thanks for all your help.

BTW it was Lee's Pond.

At one time I was able to upload several pictures at once, then it would take you to another page to fill in the details. I just tried to do multiples today, but for some reason cannot do it. Maybe it is a setting that I have set wrong? One at a time works, so I'm good.

You certainly can add multiple photos to a post and there are several ways of doing so.

The following window will pop up when you click the paper clip in the tool bar or scroll down to Manage Attachments:



You click Browse and find your photo on your computer.

You then click Upload.

To add another attachment repeat Browse and Upload.

Finish your text, then do a preview to be sure it worked.

If it did, click Submit Reply.

(JP, you used this attachment method in your post in the Sandwich Fair thread.)
Please note: We've been asked by other members to keep attachments to about 640 X 480 pixels.

One problem with attachments is they end up at the end of your post. I prefer to insert images from PhotoPost.

[Rattlesnake Gal]

Pictures taken from PhotoPost can be inserted anywhere into a thread and you can have multiples.


The Webmaster recently added an easy to use [Insert] button.



Click on [Insert] and this window will pop up:



Click on the option you would like to use from this pop up.



Click on any photos you wish to use



and they will automatically appear in your post.

Note: To move them around in a post, copy and cut from [IMG] to [IMG] then paste where you want it to show up.

Spaces/Enters between pictures look good.

If you do not like the option that you chose, highlight, delete and pick again.

The other option to add pictures from PhotoPost:

Hit Reply to Thread or Start a New Thread.

Open a new tab by going up to the left side of your window and click on file.
(I add this because not everyone knows it.)

The following option will pop up.



Click new tab and a new window will open.

Go to PhotoPost.

You can now navigate between PhotoPost and a thread to which you are posting.

Upload your images to PhotoPost.

Once your images are uploaded and show up, right click the picture.

This window will pop up:



Highlight and copy the location and go back to your Reply/New Post description.

Click on that is in the tool bar and the following prompt will come up.



Paste the location you took from your picture in PhotoPost and click ok.

Click on the Preview Post button and your picture should be there.

[Rattlesnake Gal]

For those of you that have never attempted to use PhotoPost:

Got to PhotoPost and click Upload Photos, which is in the upper right of the screen.

You will then see this window:



Choose the category in which you want your photo to show up.

Click the Browse button and select your picture from your computer.

Enter a title and fill in the description. (The Webmaster prefers good descriptions for easier searching/viewing.)

You can fill in key words if you would like to.

If you want to be notified by e-mail when a user posts a reply, click yes. (This can be turned on later if you forget here)

Then click Upload/Submit, which can take a minute or two and will bring up your uploaded photo.

(You may have to wait for approval from the Webmaster for your picture to appear in the Gallery.)

Good luck! I hope my lessons are easy enough to follow.

I hope that this post will give someone the courage insert a picture or to use our wonderful PhotoPost Gallery. I love pictures!

Winnipesaukee.com is fun!

This may be even simpler...
Go to any photo on photopost....or anywhere else on the internet for that matter and RIGHT CLICK on the photo...

CLICK on PROPERTIES

In the dialogue box highlight the url of the photo where it says Properties (It'll be a http://www thingy) and COPY

now instead of going where you have the red arrow pointing below
CLICK on the little icon above that has a mountain, a yellow sky and postage stamp thing It's the insert image button


insert the url from your clipboard and THERE YA GO!!

[Yosemite Sam]

After you click on the little icon that has a mountain, a yellow sky and postage stamp, another window will appear so that you can enter the image URL

[mcdude]

.....thanks Sam!

[Rattlesnake Gal]

When I click on I get this: , not what Yosemite Sam gets. Hmmm.

I get what RG gets on Firefox and something slightly different than either on IE.

What browser are you both using?

Internet Explorer Version 8.00.6001.18702

[wifi]

IE 6.0.2800.1106 (Not (too) lazy, just don't like IE7 or IE8 )

Firefox 3.5.3

[Rattlesnake Gal]

I'm set up with Mozilla Firefox.

[mcdude]

RG: It's basically the same pop-up. A better question would be, "Does it work when you enter the url?"

...and I have no idea what version of IE I'm using.

Do this when you are using your browser:

Alt + H and then press A

Thanks, Sam. I'm running the same version as you.
