Default Tips for posting Photos

Dear Evert
You have to post 5 messages before you can upload any pictures here.

So just write 1 more time and you'll be able to show your plants.

Feel free to ask as many questions you have ;-)

Greetings
Michael

First thing Michael makes a very good point. If you are posting photos direct to the forum (using the attachment options) then you need 5 posts. I keep forgetting that, it's to try and stop spammers from posting images, which we had a problem with before the restriction was put in. Unfortunately it doesn't give very good error messages when you try, just doesn't work.

Some people have reported that it might be more than 5, but have found it works at post 6 or 7 or so. If you can try making a couple more posts and then give it a go that might be the answer.

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with Apple Mac at all, I probably get just as lost when trying to use one as you do working out this forum. Unfortunately that makes it harder for me to help you but I'll try and give what advice I can.

First off are you reading through an an internet browser (where you can read all sorts of other websites) or are you using an app like Tapatalk? I think it's most likely a browser as Tapatalk is more for Tables and phones (such as iPad and iPhone) but the instructions for what you need to do are completely different if you are using that so I need to know.

I don't have access to post them on your behalf unfortunately and I'm not sure photos can be sent through the Private Messages. If we need to go down that route I can give you an email address to send them to me, but hopefully we can sort it another way.

I'm not American I'm in the UK The adverts are how we keep the forum free. The cost of running the servers etc. It's possible to donate to the forum and not see most of the adverts. They can be distracting, though I find them better than on many websites. Yes you do get used to ignoring them over time I guess.

No problem. Hope I can help.

As you say there are lots of ways of doing things so its hard to know what you want to do, but once you have 5 posts I would suggest the method I talk about in this link.

http://www.orchidboard.com/community...tml#post396281

(Just the post this link goes to, don't worry about the ones which follow it which relate to other methods). You only need to go down as far as the dotted line I've just added to that post. The rest is optional so don't let it confuse you with unnecessary steps.

The screen shots in the link were taken with a PC, which as I said above is the only way I know how to do it. It should be similar on the Mac, but might not be identical. Unfortunately if you are struggling with Mac related differences I might not be able to help

Slowly getting a bit wiser. Presumably this one is counted as a post ? That makes it 3 thus far 2 to go !!
The Mac is not so seriously different when it comes to posting pics and or attachments.
I'm trying , and thanks again for your help !

You post count is showing as 5 now (just above the Netherlands flag in the top right of your post). Hope this will start working for you

Glad you've now managed to post pictures I think the file system when you are adding the pictures is part of your Mac so can't really advise on that. One of the problems I had trying to use my sisters Mac was finding where it had stored some pictures... just couldn't find my way around the file system

Not sure why you are not seeing a flag unless that is related to the browser you are using on your mac.

For me your name shows at the top of each post, on the left. At the same level on the right it give the date you joined the forum, the number of posts you have made, a circle with the flag of the country you come from and another symbol which indicates that you have added plants to the 'Orchid Collection Database'.

This screen shot shows what you post above looks like to me. I've ringed the bit I mean. Do you see the same thing?

Hiya!

I'm trying to upload some pics and keep getting the
"Post denied. New posts are limited by number of URLs it may contain and checked if it doesn't contain forbidden words." error.

I have 5 posts, have uploaded to photobucket and tried links from there in the body of the text (by pressing the "insert image" button above the text box, and have also tried the paperclip upload button straight from my pc....

any ideas why it keeps saying that? It was only 2 pics and I can't see any words it might think are unsuitable?!

Cheers

Anna

I don't know why you are having trouble - when you try to upload as attachments, do you get an error message?

Have you tried using the links created by photo bucket to post in forums? (Copy and paste)

I have figured it out! After posting that, it took me over 5 posts and was able to! Seems like the rule is not just to have 5, but more than that!

Crisis over :-)
