Picture issues
 

I am unable to view pictures included within a post using Firefox 3.6.23. What I see is a box containing a paper clip and the words "Attachments Included". Nothing happened when I clicked on it. I then went and tried the Internet Explorer browser. Then I could see three boxes to click that brought up the pictures. Are we going to have to bring up pictures to see them displayed or will they be displayed automatically. Right now on my computer they are not being displayed within the context of the post but have to be viewed outside of the board. Is there something I need to change on this end? Does one browser work better than another? Ann in TN

I also have problems viewing posted pics.....had to download pic in order to see it....guess I won't be seeing more - not gonna download every pic....

This may be a browser issue. You are using an old version of Firefox. The current version is 7.0.1, which I am using. I have no problem with viewing photos. To update your Firefox, click on the help menu, then "about firefox". It will tell you your version and should have a link to update (at least that's how it is on the current version - the older versions may have this elsewhere).

I can't find out how to post a pic onto my blog and no one has given me any suggestions or hints. I have an attachments manager, but that is it.

Creating and editing blog posts is the same as doing it in Threads (Topics).

I recommend you always choose to "Go Advanced". That's where all the goodies are.

Images are inserted in one of two ways: Direct or Thumbnails.

If you want to insert the picture, click on the Image icon. (move your mouse around. each icon will reveal a text identifier.) You can upload the image from your computer or embed a URL.)

To attach thumbnails, click on the Attachments icon. (looks like a paper clip.)

Personally, i prefer to upload the photos from my computer. I find thumbnails annoying and they take extras steps to attach.

How to post a picture
 

Hi, I'm still struggling with this new format. I posted a reply on a thread I started a few days ago ..... tried to attach a picture but, alas, it didn't show up. And the posting doesn't show up on the main page either. I'm NOT very handy with computers until I really LEARN the changes. Can anyone help me out here?

When you want to add a picture (at least this is the view I seenon my iPad), you 1) click on POST QUICK REPLY on bottom right. 2) click on GO ADVANCED 3) click on MANAGE ATTACHMENTS 4) browse for your file then click on UPLOAD 5)then click on CLOSE WINDOW 6) click on SUBMIT

Okay, I'll try that. Thanks.

trying to post a picture
 

Oh how cute! He looks just as confused as I am!!!

good gosh, why did they do that. had just learned the old way.

Still can't figure it out
 

I get this far, but don't see where the image icon is????? Please help

I, too, cannot view pictures and I am using Google Chrome. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Not quite ready to give up on this board just yet but it sure has my head just a spining L)L!

test
 

Thanks for letting me try this.

Is there a way to delete an attachment from my post?
 

Free up storage space???? You can delete your copy of a photo from your own hard drive to free up space for you, but deleting from the board wouldn't impact you at all. So, is that what you are asking?

If you need a moderator to delete something for you please PM one of us with the URL

Hi Nancy,
No I was talking about attachments here on the boards, not on my computer. If you go to attachments it shows that we have storage limits on the site. So with being said I thought we'd be able to delete pictures that were no longer necessary. Or in my case wanting to eliminate a picture within the post I made.

Thanks for your response I appreciate your input.

You don't need to delete the photo from your hard drive. I believe simply renaming your photo will do the trick.

Trouble uploading pictures
 

I'm having trouble uploading one picture. I was always able to load pictures before the change. Just wondering what I might be doing wrong. The size is 4531 KB. Thank you

EmbQuilt - this is the clearest answer I have seen so far on the new board. Have been trying for almost an hour to find out how to post a picture. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

This is the only pic I have been able to put on...my pics are all too big and I don't know how to make them smaller!

Pictures of quilts
 

What do I click on to see pictures of quilts people post? That's the feature I enjoyed most on the previous site.

I have gone through the tutorial twice but still nothing. Hope to hear something soon.

I'm still having problems.... I watched the little how to video in the Help, and my screen doesn't have all those icons! Anyone know why? I have the one thingy (way-whatever???)checked, that it says you need, under account settings. I click on the 'advanced' and try to upload a photo, and it says upload failed!
Thank you for any help!
Diana :)

posting a pic


well a pic showed up, don't remember what I did to repeat the action.

Barn quilt
 

I designed this for my great nephew Stoney he loved my barn so I used it for a pattern.
This is a test to see if I got a pic to upload. wish me luck.

Yeah I did it, not so hard.

How did you do it? Can't find the icons they were talking about. They arn't on this page.

Size of photos to post
 

Is there a recommended size for photos to be posted to the Board? Does the Board automatically size the pictures for the best viewing?

Just practicing the posting with the new format of the Board.

The size is extremely large based on the length of time it takes my dial-up to see them once posted...5 to 7 minutes...and the lockups it's caused my system. I now avoid all posts with attachments. :(
