The little quilting group I belong to has quit the board because it is too complicated but Im determined to stick it out.
So many posts are being deleted and sent into limbo somewhere. I spend so much time on the board that I only surf the main board so it is disapointing to see so many posts getting moved elsewhere and I wont take the time to go looking for them.
I wish the keepers of the board would post instructions on doing the simple things that used to be so easy.
yes, we're all in the same messy little boat, ... anyway to post in a reply....
type your msg, but instead of Post Quick Reply, choose 'Go Advanced' below this box on a blue button...
then the paperclip symbol will let you choose a picture from your computer...
then you have to hit Upload and it will take a minute or two but then the name of the pic will turn up on the bottom of the little 'attachments' screen in blue.... that tells you it is attached...
you can choose more than one....you just have to upload them seperately and then Send them all at once....that, too, takes a few minutes but then it works.
Okay, now for the secondary complication...the size of the pic...
when you click on your picture, it will show you how many pixels are in the pic.....
if it is over a 1000 either way, i can't get them to load...
so if it is over a 1000, then double click on the pic and it will open your image editor....
look on the top and there will be either a tab that says "edit" or "resize"....
click on resize if it's there....
click on edit if it's not...then you should see "resize" inside ...
now click on resize and it will give you an opportunity to change the size by defining the percentage....
so if it is 2000 x 1244....then type in 50% and hit save (or change, depending on your software).... the new numbers will come up and should be like 1000 x 622.... that will load.
Now click on File Save As and it will save in the new size.
go BACK to the quilting board screen and choose that file name again...it will show the size when you do...be sure to check...
i have just begun to check all my pix before i start the whole thing but you can do it in order if you can open more than one tab on your screen browser.
good luck and i know this sounds like a lot of steps but it does work...
