Ive been browsing this forum for over a year. Fantastic for information but it lacks behind other forums in uploading pictures.

Just tried adding my avatar from my hard drive...
Seemed simple.

try...

• In the Full editor, scroll down to below the text entry box, click on the upload attachment Tab.
• Click <select file> and find and click on the file you want to add and select <open>
• Click <add the file>
• Place the cursor where you want the image to appear and then click <place inline>
• finish typing and hit submit.

While coleys link has a number of other useful pieces of information in it, the basics of adding a picture are now out of date due to the recent forum updates.

It works the same as before but the links are in a slightly different place.
A photo hosted on another site - paste the link between the two brackets that appear when you click the image button above the paragraph box (1)
to add an attachment - the 'upload attachment' link is below the submit button etc (2)

Still no joy,, The pic s are 480 kb are they too large ?? when I try to attach all I get is a full size pic on my screen (Win 7 P.C.) and if I want to get behind it, or see side by side all that happens is -----it takes all the Uk Workshop site off. All I then have left is the Pics from my pc displayed. on my screen
Is there a method of drag and drop that I use on other sites ??

 

[nev]

No, there is no drag and drop option.
yes, your pics are too big, they need to less than 256kb if attaching to a post. No limit if hosted elsewhere.
see the guide at the top of each forum for resizing help.

Do you use dropbox?

If you do, upload to a public folder on there. Dropbox doesn't cost anything.. Right click the file on your computer, select "Copy dropbox link" then insert that link into a post with the picture button. You'll just need to edit the link slightly, remove the dl=0 and replace it with raw=1 and the picture will end up embedded in the post.

Just testing. Seems simple enough to add photo, this one was reduced to 105kb.

For me, the problem is the small size of the pics you're permitted to post. GrahamF's picture above is a blurry, low res affair: no disrespect Graham but I would like to be able to view your efforts in more detail than that. I know the answer is to host the pictures elsewhere but it would be nice to not have the hassle. In this day and age...... of inexpensive multi terabyte storage and (for most) reasonably swift connection speeds.
Just sayin'

 

[user22161]

O.K here's the same image but 214kb. Don't know what you're viewing images on but on my 11.6" pc or Samsung tablet, they're both acceptably sharp - others may disagree :?: Have you clicked on images to enlarge?

 

[timber]

Thanks to all who have tried to help, One reason was the pic size. I am still trying to downsize them. Will have to lie down for a while!!!!!!!!???????

If your photos are oversize try emailing them to yourself.

 

[timber]

Thanks Robo
I have managed to make the pics smaller. Two ways --using a resize method and your email method. I still can not put them on this site. I wanted to send a private message to you -------HOW on earth do I do that.
I am on Win 7

Hi Timber
I'll try and help If I can. Firstly what are you using to upload the pics? a Windows PC, Mac, iPad, phone etc?

I've merged your two threads together Timber to try and keep the subject in one place. If you can answer the question above, what kind of computer you are using then we can have a starting point from which to offer help.

Hi nev
Thank you for your help, I have two pcs (not Lap tops) one is an old one running X.P. and the one I use now is on Win 7. I am 83 in March and am trying to clear some of my sheds one holds woodwork stuff and the other holds metal work stuff, except for a Coronet lathe . ( no room for it in the wood work shed 16 x 10 feet
With the help of others I have at last resized my pics, using Paint program . The Coronet lathe came hardly used and had Coronet chisels that have never been used.
Thanks to all the others who have tried to help Now---- all I have to do is get the pics on the site!!??
