Photo permission

Hello! New to this site and I hear you have to ask to be able to post pics.

Could I have permission please?

Many thanks

James,

You should be able to now. Mind the file size because the total size of your photos in one post can't exceed about 7.5 MBs. Phones take very large pictures nowadays and it's not hard to exceed that.

Give it a try in the test forum first just to familiarize yourself with the upload.

Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,

I did the test and it worked, but it has not posted with my comments after choosing the file. Any thoughts?

Many thanks
James

No, I see where at about 4:08 you tried to upload it to the real forum but at 3:56 or so, you uploaded the photo just fine to the Test Forum. They use the same program so that doesn't really make sense. The way the upload works is it puts the link to the photo right into your post as you are writing the post. There are two problems that can occur with that. The first is if you start typing after the upload, and the link is highlighted, it will wipe out the link, the second is hitting the post submit button prior to the photo upload saying "Upload Complete". If those happened, then it would explain it.

In the case of the first, if your browser highlighted the link, click back into the window before you start typing and that will clear the highlight. If the second problem, just wait until you see the link appear in the window (right in the post) and then proceed to click in, type the text associated with the photo and then submit.

Thank you. Think I've cracked it!
