Help posting
 

Hi, I’ve learned how to post something but how do you add a picture to the post

It can take a bit to figure out pictures here depending on your setup.

There is a good PDF from the help forums here:
https://www.quiltingboard.com/qb-hel...a-t309399.html

Janey/Ourworkbench also has a nice write-up, here's one copy:
https://www.quiltingboard.com/8627885-post6.html

Some people are currently having issues and have found the comment Janey has about "do not preview" helps them.

For me, I take pictures with an old school digital camera and my file sizes are too large, I have to reduce the images first. No connection with this site and while it does have some paid upgrades, I use for free:
https://www.reduceimages.com/

Our Upload button hides to the right of screen. remember to scroll over to find it.

I just want to know when I’m done writing the post what do you click on to add a photo

i click on Go Advanced below , then down to manage attachments , then browse, then find photo and click on that and then Scroll over to UPLOAD. click that and go.

I have never been able to get the paperclip icon to work. I use "go advanced" (because of my browser protections, I have to hold down CTRL when I click, then the Manage Attachments (again, holding down CTRL). That brings up the upload menus, because I've already resized and downloaded my pictures I am good to go once I access my Download directory. That is the point where Quiltwoman44 mentioned that you have to resize the window, dragging it out to the far right to find the Upload button. Once that is done you can shut that window and go back to the Submit Post button (without doing the preview).

File sizes have to be smaller than the 5 MB, that is number for all images and not just one.

If it doesn't work the first time but your message posts you have about 5 minutes to edit/try attaching again.

What icon do u use above the post to post a picture

Uploading a picture
 

Above the posing section there are icons above which one allows for downloading a picture I don’t understand why I can’t figure it out very frustrating.

In addition to (or repitition of) the above, I have found that only the big red "Reply" button or "Quote" work to get the paper clip icon.

I will usually click on the big red "Reply" button or "Quote" before actually typing in what I want to before adding images.

While when you go to add pictures, it will say that the file size can be up to 5MB, however, the fact of the matter is that they need to be less than 2MB.

My usual reply that IceBlossom referred to is:
We like pictures. In order to post pictures on Quilting Board, you will probably need to reduce or compress the picture to a file size that is smaller than 2MB. How to post images can be found at https://www.quiltingboard.com/attach...020-01-17-.pdf
Don't forget to scroll over to the far right to find and click on the "Upload" button. As shown at https://www.quiltingboard.com/8565676-post4.html

I have found that only the big red "Reply" button or "Quote" work to give me the paper clip icon to work for adding pictures.

Or simply - Make sure pictures are smaller than 2MB
Click on red "Reply" button
Click on the paper clip icon
Click browse - choose picture/s. (only 5 allowed per post)
Once they show up as being loaded, Scroll over to the right side and click on "Upload"
After the pictures show up as being attached, you can close that window and go back to the screen to finish posting your post.

Some additional notes -
The photos generally need to be reduced to less than 2MB in size. I have heard of people sending an email to themselves as it will ask if you want to reduce the size.

I have an android phone and when I tried to reply on Quilting Board while in mobile view None of the options for adding pictures was available. However, there is an option down at the bottom left of the page that is for Full Site when I tapped on "Full Site" It then looked like the way it looks on my lap top. So it would have the Red Reply and the Go Advanced options.

Do Not Preview post.

Then file size needs to be less than 2MB.
To add a photo, you will need to click on the red circled paper clip icon to bring up the next window to find your photos, as indicated in the pdf that IceBlossom referred to.

I am having same issue. I use to post pictures all the time and now it does not work...I am reading up on this thread...thank you

Janey - here's what mine looks like. Is that, by chance, an older screencap that you posted? I don't have a paper clip in my toolbar.

In order to post pictures, I always have to click "go advanced" and then "manage attachments". And even then half the time I get an error that my .png extension needs to be a .jpg, even when it says it's a .jpg. Although it's worked on the 4-5 pictures I posted since the last time I complained about that, so maybe tech support fixed it? Which would be awesome!

I'm not sure if I can explain this properly, but I will try. I started out to reply in the "Quick Reply", then decided that I needed a couple of screenshots. In order to get one that I thought might be helpful, I logged out and got this screen shot

The purple arrow is what I clicked on originally and start posting this Quick Reply:This is the screen shot that I took before I logged out:

So now, I have logged back in I have to hit either the "Quote" or the red "Reply," as indicated by the larger arrows on the left side of the above images, to be able to get the "Reply to Thread" screen so that I can add the pictures. Actually, "Go Advanced" will take you to the "Reply to Thread" screen, too. If I remember correctly at one point the "Go Advanced" wouldn't allow me to add photos, even though the paper clip icon was there. I know several use the "Go Advanced" to add pictures, but since the original instructions referred to the red Reply button, that is what has worked for me.
I hope this makes some sort of sense.
Reply to Thread and Quick Reply are on the left side of the page in the tannish beige bar across the page. I forgot to mark the Quick Reply in the image that has it.

I don't know what happened to my pictures. Since when I posted they were there, but gone this morning. I had deleted them from my computer. I will try again.
Peckish your screenshot shows the "Quick Reply" (circled in blue) as you evidently clicked on the "Quick Reply" as indicated by the blue arrow.

If you click on one of the buttons indicated by the green arrows it will take you to the "Reply to Thread" page (as will the "Go Advanced" button), as indicated in my previous post and now circled in green.
