So when I add a photo to a post it comes up as a small size, you can click on it and it gets a little larger. How do I make these photo's full size in the post. When I copy and paste instead of just attaching the photo in the preview it is full sized but when I post some photo's disappear completely. What am I doing wrong? Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time.

 

When you are posting the picture click on this icon in the message box
a new window will open up allowing you to enter the URL of a picture from the web or simply drag and drop images from your device.

 

Thanks Norri we will give that a try. Sooo still doing something wrong or something is turned off. When I click on the icon above a window comes up to upload photo's. I choose a photo and watch it load up. I see it, and click on insert and it's gone. Does not show up on this post or in the preview. Where did I insert it to?

 

Take a look in your control panel, select the "edit options" link on the left hand side and scroll down to "Thread Display Options" and make sure that "show images" is checked.

 

I've been wondering all this time how some people can make their pictures big.
Now you've let the secret out.

 

You only had to ask.

 

I thought it must have been something to do with my old laptop with xp replaced by windows 7 not playing the game.

 

Ok so here it goes..., still nothing. Went to control panel, edit options, thread display options, everything checked, even tried entering 0's instead of the default for resize and nothing. Confused.

 

Are you trying to upload from your computer or from the web?

 

One more time... changed everything back to forum default and... nothing? So if I go below and click "Manage Attachments" a window pops up to "browse for photo's" and I select a photo I get a thumbnail photo as below.


Now if I click on this attachment and copy paste I get this: the problem is when doing this way not all photo's post? Any help for the technically challenged is truly appreciated.

 

Trying to upload from computer picture files

 

What browser are you using IE? What size is the original image.

 

Internet Explorer, 1329 x 885. Thanks for your time.

 

You appear to be making life very hard for yourself!

The copy and paste didn't work for me but this did.

Click on the icon Norri referred to earlier.



wait for it to open so it looks like this.



Leave the window open and open your folder where the picture is stored in a new window then drag and drop it to the page you left open(drop it on the tree watermark in centre of page).
Being fairly computer illiterate I had to go to youtube to see how to drag and drop.

Click on the insert button and done.



12 hour night shift is the only time I get to play around and try this stuff.

 

You have no idea! I am 1 year behind on a build thread I would like to start. This is the 3rd attempt in 9 months to document what I've been up to. Being behind the first post is a long one with multiple photo's that without enlarging the effect of what is going on is really lost. First attempt too long without screen activity lost the thread... I was looking for photo's. Second attempt while previewing the post or a photo on the post I hit the back button and page had expired. I probably had over an hour or two into each post. Third attempt I was very very close, I had all my photo's full sized in the preview all the text where it should be hit post thread and everywhere I had multiple photo's in a row only the first photo printed the rest deleted. But they were present in the preview. I will get it but I know there is an easier way than what I do now which is... hit the manage attachment button, browse for my photo, attach the thumbnail, open the thumbnail, copy and paste the thumbnail into my post, then delete the thumbnail. You gotta really want to post a picture to go thru all that. Maybe if I put text between each full size picture it would take. Hmmm...

 

I tried that and it won't take. I click on the above icon Norri referred to, brings up the upload picture screen, I browse for photo, right click and drag photo to tree and it will not take. I'm most certainly doing something wrong but have no idea what.

 

OK one more time. ugggg!

 

All my threads so far have had small sized pictures and I don't think any effect has been lost. I will probably still use small pics with any more than one or two photos anyway,
Viewers can enlarge then to full size anyway. They can quickly scroll through the small pics and if they want a closer look can take the time to open them to full size.

See first post from one of my threads below, you still get the desired effect in my opinion.

 

I am not browsing for photo, leaving the upload window open and opening a new window with the folder containing the picture then left click on picture dragging it down to the task bar and hovering over the browser icon on the taskbar until the upload screen opens again then dragging up to the tree watermark then dropping. Keeping fingr on mouse button whole time until you are ready to drop.
I tried to drag and drop from the browse for photo but it did not work. Only dragging from a separate window works for me.
