Need help in posting pics. - Orchid Board

Don Perusse · #1 04-01-2008, 08:40 PM

Didn't know exactly which forum to go to but here is where I ended up. I know how to add pictures to my gallery but I don't know how to add a picture of one of my orchids to a "thread"? When you post a reply at the bottom of a thread I don't see where you can add a photo. Not of this computer age, need help. Thanks!

Here is a thread hope this helps...
Thumbnail pics in posts

Don Perusse · #3 04-02-2008, 10:12 AM

I still need help. First I went to "My Gallery" selected a pic I wanted, then down to "Linked Thumbnail" then clicked button below. Another box appeared indicating the pic info but as a moderator said I was to "copy to posting" BUT I didn't see anything that indicated how to copy or how to get it to a thread????? Then I decided to create a new thread, scrolled down to the bottom where it said "Manage Attachments", clicked then a box appeared so one could browse their files to pick the desired picture, which I did. Then clicked on upload, closed that window BUT once again it DID NOT appear in the thread. Maybe I didn't understand the first time or need more detailed instructions. I love using/viewing this Orchid Board but I just won't post any pics.

Don, try this. Go to the photo (not an album) you want to post. Below the photo you will see a long white dialog with a URL in it. Click once on that box and it should turn all blue. Select "copy" from <edit><copy> at the top of your screen or even easier press <ctrl><c> on your keyboard. Go back to your thread and place the cursor where you want the picture to appear. Then use your keyboard again and press <ctrl><v> for paste. A small image should appear in your thread which we can click on to get to the full-sized one. Try it.

or what you could do is
first reduce the size of your photo -
Resizing Images...originally posted 6/13/06 by Marty

go to the screen where you post a reply .. find the icon that looks like a paperclip .. when you click on it .. it will bring up a manage attachment screen where you can browse your computer for a picture .. search through to where you have it stored in your computer .. (remember to have the size reduced first) -
then click on the open command in the file upload screen .. and then click on the upload icon in the manage attachments screen and give it a few seconds/minutes to upload .. once it is attached to the post .. you will see it under the attached file area under where you write your post
I hope this helps also

First and foremost I apologies to ALL board members the pic of my Grandson (Noah) and the two pics of my Kingianum that appear in this thread. Ross THANK YOU for your instructions but I still had a little trouble trying to post. My daughter got on the phone and walked me thru the process that Ross posted. As you can see "she" is now a Jr. Member with one post (my grandson) and I ended up two pics of my Kingianum without any explanation. Please consider this just that! I am approaching 70 and takes me a little longer. I appreciate all of your patience and hopefully will not have any trouble in the future with posting pics.

Don, your grandson Noah is an absolute darling!
The kingianums are nice too

Anytime you need help with anything, your OB friends are here for you
