How do I post pictures to albums or threads?

Hi Bob. When you are submitting a post, or making a reply, click the Go Advanced button below the window you are entering your text. That will end up redrawing the page a bit so just scroll down again until you see the text window.

Keep scrolling to find the Additional Options section, and in that section is a button for Manage Attachments. Click that and it opens up a new (separate) window. In that window click the Browse... button to find the picture you want to upload. Repeat for additional images, then click the Upload button. After that (it may take a few seconds or a minute depending on # of pictures and size), find the Close this window button.

That should return you back to where you were typing text. At that point, click Submit Reply and you should be good to go.

Hope this helps! And I hope you enjoy the picture I used as a test.

OK, so I figured out how to post pictures but when I do, they install 90 degrees from upright. I've tried rotating the pictures 90 degrees before I attach the file and still the same thing, very frustrating!!! I'm at a loss

Some things to try:

1) try a smaller picture (< 1000 pixels wide). Some apps will auto rotate images that are too large. That said, this forum is supposed to support pictures 1200 pixels wide

2) Open the picture on your computer with a photo editor and rotate it 90 degrees opposite of whatever this forum is doing. Save it, then try uploading that.

3) If #2 didn't work, do it again, but this time after you rotate it 90 degrees one way, rotate it BACK to the original orientation, then save it as a new file and try uploading that

4) Try saving the file as a different format (.PNG or .BMP instead of .JPG for example) and then upload it

Hope one of these helps
