help posting pictures

[bubba]

In the past, I have posted pictures, but for the life of me, I can't remember how to do it. I tried following the rules, and still no luck. What I prefer to do is to know how to make the thumbnails you click on to make the picture bigger, but I couldn't find directions for doing that. I did find how to make a hot link, and finally settled for that, but I would really like to know how to do the other if you could help me out here.

Thanks,

pat.

Those clickable thumbnails that open a larger picture are (usually) attachments.

Step by step. Later in that thread there are some pictures ? What happened at which step?

[bubba]

Thanks, I will try again once I get home from work. I can't remember all the msgs I was getting the other night, but was quite please I figured out how to do the link thing!

ps-after reading the link you put in there (which I now remember reading before!), I am thinking my problem was that I was clicking the preview button to make sure the pix were going to show up, but I see now, they don't show up in the preview. Thanks for your assistance!

Not even w-a-y over on the right? (After you clicked Add attachment?)

[bubba]

Not that I could see, but I will try again.....rufffff!!!!!!!!

blah blah blah blah blah....

Alright...this is what I did. I typed blah blah blah, etc....

I went down, I clicked browse, I picked a picture, I hit add to this attachment...after that is over with, there is no other button that shows up next to it, above it, or below it.........

Clueless in Tacoma....

Hmm. I logged in with a test account and see the button just fine. How big is the file you're trying to upload? When I tested using a file over 100k, I get no button (since the file is too big) and this message way up at the top of the page:

THE FOLLOWING ERROR(S) WERE FOUND

The total filespace required to upload all the attached files is greater than your per post or global limit. Please reduce the number of attachments or the size of the attachments.

My current guess is that you are trying to attach a file over 100k in size - reduce the file size and maybe then you'll have better luck.

[bubba]

I will have to check the file size when I get home from work...I don't think it is that big. Also, I got no error message at all, none of the several times I tried it!

Check to see if you have a horizontal scroll bar. If your screen resolution is low, you might have to scroll to the right to see it.

[bubba]

Believe me, I checked that last night! My screen is as big as it gets on my screen which is quite large....there is the up/down scroll, which I scrolled just to double check, and there was no side to side scroll.

It's interesting to see how many people are looking at this!

thanks for your patience,

pat.
