Adding a picture from your computer

Above the posting box is a wide range of options to use for posting. Many are easy enough to figure out.
To upload a picture from your computer, you want to choose the icon that says "host an image". It is the fifteenth icon on the list of options. If you hover your mouse over each icon, you will see what each is for.
You choose to host an image and a window will open for you. In the window, choose to "browse". Find the picture on your computer and click on "host it". The box will then have three choices of links to copy. (Thumbnail, image or image URL) Choose image and copy the link. Just paste the link where you want it in your post and after you enter your reply, the link will be the picture you chose.
Here is mine...

The reason pictures are done this way is to save on using up a lot of space to store them all on the site. Works for me! lol

For adding a picture you find on the internet, you will need to choose the "image" icon. It is the sixteenth icon.. located next to the "host Image" icon.
Click on Image icon, add the link for the picture you want, [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.], wait until you want to add it and click ok.
My picture will show up in the middle of this because I forgot to wait. lol

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Thanks Breezey. I'm still playing with this. When the box drops down, with the three options ... you copy the code ... then why does the box not disappear, so I can see my post? I'm probably not doing something correctly. I'll keep at it. Thanks for the inupt.

Jack, the really simple part, just click on the "host image" icon after you have the code and the box will go away again.

Ah, HA! I see! Thanks. Now, if I can just remember this! LOL [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Ya did it bunny!!
If you don't remember it, the help section stays here. lol Just read it again. This little bunny was added with you in mind. lol

Jack, are you stealing carrots from the farmer's garden again?

Still working on things here. LOL
Thanks for the bunny, Breezey. I noticed him right away!
Tater ... I'm always stealing carrots ... and cookies! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Looks like you've been caught on camera, Jack.

Bree,
THANK YOU! Snoopy looks great!
(Doesn't he always ? - I love Snoopy dancing!)
Boy, that didn't take long!


For you:
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Thank you! (hugs)


Oh! Thanks for repositioning the "uploads" window too.
Now I can see the toolbar icon - it closes it nicely!
(Thank the Gods and little kitten-britches) :suspect:


EDIT: Hey...! I'm no longer "rational" OR ""normal"...
(how silly!) NOW I'm "NUTTY" ! Cool! We're getting closer...

Hmmm.... you're welcome for Snoopy, but after that... I am totally lost. lol

Breezey wrote:Hmmm.... you're welcome for Snoopy, but after that... I am totally lost. lol

Imagine my surprise...

Okay, let's see if I can clarify...
1.) Some (if not ALL) of the member RATINGS! have changed -
mine ("used to" i.e., the one immediately previous to the current one)
had said,"Rational" - (which is absurd in my case) lol
Mine NOW says: "NUTTY" which I like much better.
2.) The "Upload" window (for posting a pic) was blocking my
reply toolbar so that I could not "click on" the icon there
to CLOSE the window. NOW, (as of today), it has been
REPOSITIONED (moved) just enough so that I CAN see to
click on the icon... thus enabling me to CLOSE the freakin'!
"upload" window.
3.) "Thank you" is a polite phrase customarily used by people
wishing to convey GRATITUDE to someone else -usually because
that someone else had done something NICE for them, which they appreciate.
For example:
I say "thank you", (or post something like this smiley)

because I appreciate your help and the trouble you've gone to
in order to help me.

Then, it is customary for the person who has been thanked to
reply "you're welcome" (if it's true) or post something like this
:WE:
in reply. See? };>

This is also a pleasant and polite thing to remark to someone
(if it's true) :
nd

He's just so CUTE...!

I see... I think.

You think? I sure hope so; that's my shot at it. lmao!

Ja'aj, the link goes in the "image" icon..next to the "host image" icon. Give it a try.

I will be damned! I copy/paste-d that ! - and it POSTED the pic !
Now it's just a link.

I'm going to lie down with a cold compress on my forehead!
Geez. (Thanks!)
Ron is right - "copy/paste isn't working all-that well.

Ja'aj once you see the link in the image window then come over to where you would write something and hit paste, a link shoud appear. then hit send and the picture should then appear.OK, FIRST i CLICK ON HOST AN IMAGE, MAKE SURE THE DOT IS ON FILE, NOT URL, HIT BROWSE, FIND THE PICTURE, ON A WINDOW THAT WILL POP UP, THEN HIT OPEN THAT WINDOW WILL CLOSE AND THE IMAGE BOX SHOULD HAVE THE LINK, TH[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]EN COME OVER AND HIT PASTE AND THERE IS THE PIC.wHEN YOU SEE THE IMAGE LINK, THEN HIT HOST AN IMAGE, THEN COPY THEN PASTE IT. fREAKING LOT OF STEPS FOR A PIC.

Ja'aj, most copy/paste doesn't work for this site. It is done differently. You can't just paste the picture into a post.
But.... quoting someone will include any video or picture they had on their post.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

I'm not sure why the window was blocking the icons for you, Ja'aj, as it doesn't block mine, but in any case, you're able to get to it now, so it's all good.

Ron, it's pretty basic. The "file" is already marked and no need to touch it. Choosing a picture is the same as always and picking the link isn't so hard.
Either way, we always had to click on something to browse the computer and pick a picture. Only difference is pasting a link.

It did; it worked beautifully.
Copy/paste was all I used for the first (?) week or so;
until I tried the "upload" feature and then it went *poof*.
Where did it go?

I know... [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

( It can't be because the upload feature is so simple to use:D )



(This is tooo cute! )

Final answer.... you take the good, you take the bad, you take them all and then you have... the facts of life! lol

I just know what is and I am still learning!

I see.

Ja'aj ...
Has anyone told you lately, how funny you are?
You sure, tickle this bunny.

I just don't understand why this site is not as easy as the other site was. You have made it fire fox compatible but us IE user's have a different thing going on here. It's more difficult to use, more steps. Oh well, thats the way it goes. Ja'aj, love the smiley's.

Ron,
most sites are not made for IE as easily as Firefox. Lefora said the same thing. They were always telling people to use Firefox and have less problems.
I can't help what software programs people use. IE has been known to cause many problems on both sites.
It's not really more difficult, just different.
I think you forget all the complaints there were with Lefora too.

Thats interesting Breezey, I never knew that. Yes, Lefora sucked big time, I will get used to this, it's just new thats all. Teaching an old dog new tricks ain't easy but this old dog is learning. Thanks Breezey, I just never knew that before. Well, at one point I just might try Firefox again because IE can be a big pain in the butt. Thank you for your input it's appreciated and so are you, very much. I hope your daughter has a wonderful BIRTHDAY.

I always try to keep in mind that different doesn't always mean worse. Different can be good and broadens our ways of being able to achieve things. If I never learned something new, I would be lost on the internet completely.

You are so right. I used to be so nervous about touching the wrong button or doing this without the knowledge how to do it but when I think back and how little I knew, I have learned a lot by doing new things mainly from your sites where I get a chance to do different things. Thank you for that.

hi breezey.
what should i be doing ? this is what happens :
*click on 'host an image'
* then on browse
*find pic ,and hit on post it
* then hit choose image , click on image
then i get a box asking if i want to allow this web page to access my clip board , i click allow, which highlights it ...... then what ..???? click on copy nothing happens , so , what should i be doing ?
using ie just now, can use mozzila if it would make a difference .

You're almost there Roxy. After you click on copy (this automatically copies the code to your computer), then click on the "host an Image" icon again to close the window (the same icon you clicked on to open the window). Then just paste the code into the reply box, and click on send below.

Wow! Roxanna's is a little different from what I get! I click host an image, browse, click on picture I want, host it, copy the code and stick it in the main post.
That's the hard part when trying to explain some things. Not all of our computers do things exactly the same.
Thank you for helping Tater.

Ron, when I first started, everything seemed so complicated to make a page, add backgrounds, etc...
Now... I see it as a challenge and really like learning more! People say I should try web design... but... that takes time! lol

OK 2 years down the track, and am now having problems posting pictures, all goes as before, but no picture is posting.

It might not be you; it might be the site having problems. I would advise trying again in the morning
(I know you are something like 14 or 15 hours ahead of us...) and if that doesn't help, go out and buya new computer.

Wow, amazing to see a topic where Ron made some of his last comments...hard to believe it's been almost 2 years. He was such a great guy; wish there were more like him.

it could be anything ,but I got this computer brand new a couple years ago, it should still do what it needs to ! it was the same a couple days ago,no post pictures.ok on face/b and emails.
re Ron, time really does fly , it seems to be accelerating at an alarming speed. I always feel a little upset when I see his little red car ,some how I'm not getting used it,it feels like it's sacret to Ron.

Sorry, I was being facetious about buying a new computer. I'm sure it's something minor. Keep in mind that the host site does occasionally have problems that work themselves out eventually, and sometimes they make minor changes in the way things work, while neglecting to tell anybody about them.

Roxanna, adding from your computer? Which browser? I ask because I just added one from my computer and it worked.

sometimes my sense of humour is on the wane....you are right ,I'll just let it sort out itself

When I see Ron's car and his postings... I'm a little sad, yet they bring a smile. Somehow, I feel close to him yet.

Roxanna... pictures from internet or computer?

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

hmm.... IE seems to be working alright Breezey.

Wow!! THAT'S worth seeing!! Isn't that amazing?! Those are the skies I could stare at forever!
