You can also just click the button next to someone's message.

Is it possible you closed the other window where you were writing a reply? When you post an attachment, you must keep both windows open -- the Attachments floating window, and the window underneath that has the message you are posting an attached photo to.

It is referring to the ABOVE directions. Uploading a photo to Tomatoville is preferable (and easier for most people) than Linking.

If you are clicking here:



and not getting a new window, then your web browser is blocking popups.

The other method includes this instruction........

"Enter the URL to where your image is located on the Internet. You can only link to photos that are hosted (physically stored) at the site where you are linking to. You cannot link to an already linked image. "

I have no idea as what URL or where and I find no URL above my pictures.
I don't understand "hosted or physically stored" or "already linked".
You would only use the Linked method if you own your own website or online storage of photos. I'm guessing you don't.

The simplest method really is to click the Paperclip icon. If that doesn't work, then it's a computer problem (web browser is too old or blocking popups) that must be fixed first.


Here's a step-by-step pictorial guide:







It will take a few moments, up to 60 seconds, to upload the photo. You'll see little status updates at the bottom where it currently says "Done" like "Submitting to Tomatoville.com..."



As you can see, I've successfully uploaded IMG_9098.jpg to Tomatoville. Now I need to insert it into the post by clicking the Paperclip again and choosing the photo.



I've typed a little message as well "Here's a photo of a tomato!"



Now I click "Submit Reply" and the photo and message are posted.

Feldon, since you are being so very helpful, can you explain to me how to arrange several photos in a 'row' rather than a vertical 'column'? It looks like those who do, have them in a text box. I struggled mightily trying to post my final report for the Dwarf Project, and ended up with a very messy series of posts. Is there a limit to the number of photos per post? Thanking you in advance.

If you want photos side-by-side, then the [attach]12345[/attach] tags must be side-by-side with no gap.

I don't know if there is a limit to the number of photos per post. If there is, it's probably set rather high.

I took screenshots, uploaded them to my own website, and put links here wrapped in [img] and [/img] tags. For example:

[img]http://www.feldoncentral.com/forumpics/ChromadorisThumb.jpg[/img]

turns into:




Most forums support this method of adding images.

Default Poor, poor, pitiful me

This is pitiful to the point it is funny. I have a Masters degree in Information Systems, have designed and implemented corporate database systems, traveled around the world teaching users how to use databases, but can not figure out how to attach a dog gone picture to my quick replies. So sad......

According to your step-by-step instructions, I noticed that my problem is early on. On step #2, on the Managing Uploads screen, all of my browse buttons are 'greyed' out which I believe indicates that the system is not finding any files to browse. I think your advice to someone else may apply here - something in my browser is not set up correctly.

I am using my new iPad's camera to photograph my garden and am not familiar with the file structures or where they are located. Eek! I'm a Windows person trying to use an Apple product, it's worse than I thought.

iPad will not have the ability to upload files until iOS6, expected this September. Until then, you'll have to transfer the photos to a "real" computer and use Attachments from there.

That that person is currently browsing the forums (in the last 30 minutes or so).

Default Trouble with Photos

Hi,

I need a bit of help in posting photos. I've had no problems before following the instructions above but trying to post some photos yesterday, I kept coming up with the little x'd out square in a box icon (like the avi. one) instead of the usual thumbnails. Haven't had this problem before.

Trying to log onto TV on new years day, I kept coming up with a caveman at a computer image with a note that the system was being updated. I don't know if this is part of the problem - or if there is something new I should be trying.

I've been using the browse function in my regular downloaded files on my computer and have just attached .jpg images.

I'll post an example.

Any suggestions welcome!

Thanks,
Anne
