    hi gang
    i started a thread and tried to add an image using the square mountain block in the top bar, but it asked for a URL, where do members usually keep their pictures, and if i try to add an image via the add image at the bottom of the thread, after i have uploaded one, i delete the image to upload another but it deletes the one already posted, somewhat confused now, any help?

    I click on ‘Upload a File’. Up pops a black box. I then tap on ‘choose file’. Another box opens and I just choose the source pic. Once it’s uploaded I choose either thumbnail or full size image. Job done :blue thumb:

      Ahh, just re-read your post. Why delete the image? I just keep uploading the images (there is a limit though) until I’m done, then choose thumbnails or full size.

        there in lies the question, after i have uploaded the original image and placed it on the page, the image also remains in the black box and when i want to upload another it deletes the one i just put there.

        Let me clarify, if I can. I upload all the images, then post. You will see all the images lined up, one under the other. Hope that helps?

        Click upload a file button again after you uploaded the first picture in the same post

        You can drag and drop as well

          I think the limit is twelve photos but not sure if that is still the case.Also if you don’t click on the full image box then it will come up as a thumbnail then we shall all struggle to see what you are posting.

          As the other good people on this thread have mentioned after the first one shows up on the screen just press upload a file again and the little black box will pop up again.Just keep going and then when you have finished just click on post reply and that should be it.:smile:

            It will post the same photo twice if you press the enlarge button twice.It happens to me sometimes and I end up having to delete the duplicated one:biggrin:

            I find it easier to just drag and drop. No problems at all. :dbgrtmb:

            Your own photo file on your computer :blue thumb: Open the file, highlight the photo(s) and drag into the posting box.
