MaryKa. Here are the directions for how I upload photos on my laptop. I don't upload from my phone. Others do and perhaps they will post their directions for you. It is important to same your photo in a format that is medium. My computer say it is "good for e-mail". It takes up less message space.
How to upload a photo to the Quilt Board
1. Write your message.
2. Click "Go Advanced" bar immediately next to the right of the "Post Quick Reply" bar.
3. In the box labeled Additional Options click "Manage Attachments"
4. Click "Browse" and locate your photo wherever you saved it on your computer.
5. Find the photo you wish to post click save and then upload. ***
This seems to be where folks stumble. The little box with the "Browse" button needs to be expanded so you can see the "Upload" button. It is on the far right and hidden until you expand the box.
6. Preview Post and make changes if you wish or add an additional photo.
7. Click "Submit Reply".
**** I save my photos in a quilt photos file by year that are resized to "medium". It this format will allow you to post to the QB. It seems there are multiple ways to do this and it all depends on your computer and software preferences.
These steps work for me. Hope it will work for you too.
