How To Attach a Picture to Your Post
 

Note: you can't use the 'quick reply' feature if you want to attach an image. Use the 'Go Advanced" button, which has all the features, or start a new thread, if appropriate.

1. Click "manage attachments" above the "submit" button.
2. Click "browse" , find your file, then click "add this file" ONCE.
3. *Wait* for the image to upload - you'll see the filename appear once it has. This could take a minute or two! Click "all done."
3. If you get the message that your file is too big, it is. You'll have to edit it down and try again.

I hope this works

How do I....
 

get the picture itself into the post? Not just the link to click on?

Debbie

hi Deb,

Attached files will show as a clickable link only, whether it's a picture, a text file, etc. To read more information about this, check out this thread .. Important Information: posting pictures, attachments and image linking

try to get my pic in here.

how did you get our phote as an avatar

You may upload a picture from your computer. Make sure it's no bigger than 100 x 100 pixels or 20 Kb file size.

Click on the icon at the top of the page. That will take you to your user control panel. Click on the Avatar tab. Scroll down to the Custom Avatar section .. make sure the "yes" option is highlighted. Use the Browse button to locate the file on your C: drive, then click Submit Modifications.

There is also a Profile Picture option on that same page .. you can upload a larger picture that will appear on your member profile page (but not as your avatar which appears with all your posts on the forum)


hth,

Doreen

I will try now..

Thanks
 

Thanks for the information!

Help...
 

Hi Pink. :wave: You need to have an image editor. If you have a digital camera, it should have come with that kind of software. If not, don't worry - you don't have to go spend $500 on Photoshop. :D I use a really nice free one called The Gimp.

If you'd like, you can pm me for my email address, and I'll do them for you. :cool:

Hey, Kristine...
 

I'm trying to upload an attachment, but it's not showing. I've double-checked the directions, and I'm doing everything right. Is it possible that the file is too large, but I'm not getting the message?

Thanks,
Wanda

--edit--
it must have been too large and I wasn't getting the message. What's the max file size for attachments? It's probably here somewhere, but I haven't found it yet. :rolleyes:

hi Wanda,

Maximum size for each attachment is 100 Kb or 400 x 400 pixels. Keep an eye on the file size .. your picture might be within the pixel limit, but if it's bigger than 100 Kb, it won't work. Also, there's a limit of 5 attachments per post.


hth :rose:

Thanks Doreen, ya Angel! :angel:

Wanda

Is there anyway we can attach . Excel (xls) files?

Yes, if they are compressed as zip files.

Another way is to rename the file from filename.xls to filename.xls.txt and let people know in the post that they just need to remove the .txt part.

Thanks! :daizy:You really know your stuff. I see you all over the boards helping people!:rheart:

Problem with attaching photos. I've had no problems doing this until today. They seem to upload OK, the link is there, it opens windows, says its loading, but then just white space. I;ve tried the same photo in differnt sizes and .jpg,.png and.bmp formats.
Is there still a problem with the server?

Give me the link to the post in question, and I'll check.

Wa'il

The post was at http://forum.lowcarber.org/showpost...postcount=14557
the current format in .png, though I tried .bmp and .jpg too.

Yes, it looks like a bug, where it shows an attachment, but the file does not exist.

We will upgrade the forum this weekend to the latest version, and hopefully it will be fixed :)

Wa'il

Thanks, at least it's not just me doing something stupid!

When I go into support forum.. It says new post.. and my picture is there.. did I put it there by accident? Is that image only on my screen or can others see it too? How do I fix it, and more importantly.. how did I make that mistake to begin with? Please help..

Thank you so very much!!!! Was worried it would be there forever.

It has been replaced already. ;)

Rosebud:rose:

I've been trying this to so this is merely a test to see if a siggy will show up. didn't work.

I can see your siggy :).

Sometimes what happens is your browser keeps showing the "old" page. Next time, try refreshing/reloading the page -- then you should be able to see any new pics, signatures etc. :idea:

Thanks
 

I AM TRYING :wave:
