Thread: How to upload a picture

I finally got it.

It appears that nobody had the "Enhanced' editor.

I'd have fixed it sooner, but nobody really came right out and said: "I can't see that toolbar with the icons on it". Argh
That said, people were uploading pictures without it, I just didn't have any good instructions for them.

If you had trouble before, log out, then log back in, and you'll see the icons depicted below, and be able to click the little picture icon:

me, too. "enter the URL of your image" is all that comes up when I do as instructions say...

pamketnerlind: What kind of PC and browser are you using? Maybe this is only happening for people using Apple Mac computers?

Oh, and your other option is to use the "advanced editor". Click the button that says "Go Advanced", and then use the "Manage Attachments" button instead of the image button.

Lastly, make sure you've logged out, and then back in. I did make some changes today that might have helped, but only if you log out / log in.

Hey all, I'd love to help, but I need a little more detail to do so. This seems to be tricky in that it works for many with no issues, as you can tell from the contest thread. Then others say it doesn't work, then later they are able to post photos.

So, I suspect there's a mix of some real problem, and then also an interface that's hard to understand?

Anyhow, I need a little more detail. What kind of PC ( WindowsXP? Vista? Windows 7? Mac? ) and what browser/version ( IE6? IE7? IE8? Safari? Google Chrome? Firefox ?). Also, knowing the steps you took and buttons you clicked would help.

ok, I just logged back in so I will try your suggestions...thanks!

I have Windows 7 and Goggle chrome and tried your suggestions of going the advanced managing route but no changes. I resorted to using tinypics to download to your site.

Okay. Sorry for the troubles. The site happens to be built on software called vBulletin, and it's the most used software in the world for forums. Very frustrating for me that I can't help the people having issues.

I did edit your contest entries and add the photos in-line as well, so that you have a fair chance of winning
