+.Flo. Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Hi all! This is not a geocaching question, but I hope it's okay to ask for help here, because it has to do with this forum. My problem is, that whenever I upload a picture there's just a thumbnail that one can click on, but sometimes even that won't work. Everyone else has large pics embedded directly in their posts. What am I doing wrong? Now in this post that I'm writing right now there isn't even an option to upload a pic. Quote Link to comment
+Gitchee-Gummee Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 (edited) You don't "upload" photos to these forum posts, you "link" them to the post. Your photo must already be hosted online -- you cannot upload from your computer. Copy the URL of the (already hosted) photo, click the "Insert Image" icon (it kind of, sort of resembles a photo) in the top-line menu of the reply or post window, paste that URL into the supplied window.

+.Flo. Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 Thanks, that explains the problem! I have uploaded some pics from my computer, but as I've said it's only thumbnails, and when you click on them they become larger (which doesn't always work though). I have no website, I'll try to find a site where you can upload an host photos online! You don't "upload" photos to these forum posts, you "link" them to the post.

Also, when you have a thumbnail picture you want to upload, open it first and load the URL of the full sized picture. If you upload the thumbnail, all that will upload is the thumbnail.
