Posting photos - impossible

[dalecrenshaw]

I am trying to post some photos and have looked at the instructions on how to post photos. I have gone to "new Topic" (post a new thread) , entered my text. then the instructions say that there is a button on the bottom row of icons, third from the left. However, the graphic that they show, shows up differently on my page then their example, and I do not have a second row of icons. I don't see any way of attaching a photo. Need help....thanks

Are you trying to ad a pic from your computer or a pic that is already online?

Where is it located?

Is it a .jpg or gif

there is supposed to a paperclip in the tool bar https://www.talkofthevillages.com/forums/images/editor/attach.gif, the admin has to fix this setting it appears to be set to off at the moment, perhaps overlooked on this new look.

Send an email to admin, it not you!

When I reply to this post these is a paperclip. It is to the right of the Smiley Face. There is no paper clip on a Quick Reply.

Where are you looking at for the paperclip?

Z, I don't have a paper clip for post reply. It's not there for either color format.

Care to share yours? :D

[jimbo2012]

Not showing on my screen in FF, but shows on default format.

I quoted your post and it is right below Message: next to the Smiley face. And it is there in both the green and the original blue formats.

[jimbo2012]

what browser are you using?

[zcaveman]

Not showing on my screen in FF, but shows on default format.

I assume FF is FireFox. It is there in Chrome and the standard IE9. It is also there in my version of Firefox

[pooh]

It's not on my iPad, Z. haven't checked my laptop. I love that little paper clip, saves me the trouble of putting pictures on PhotoBucket. Will go check my computer right now.

I love the paperclip also. I gave up on PhotoBucket a long time ago. Let me know if it there on your laptop,

Interesting, it IS on my laptop....running FF.

NOW I feel better. What browser do you use on the IPad?
Z

[jimbo2012]

Yes FF = Firefox

It works on IE, so there's an incompatability issue with FF, the Admin needs to check this with vBulletin

It works in the default format in FF but not the new one

[jimbo2012]

Ok now it works on FF I ran an upgrade to Version - 12

In FF click all the way on top "help" > about firefox > update

I was at version 8 and it worked. I just upgraded to 12 and it still works.

So all is good with the paperclip world now?

Using Safari on my iPad. Understand I can get FF for the iPad. May just do that. Have had FF forever it seems on my computers.

[jimbo2012]

FF has more users everyday and has features the others don't.

Great for pics and passwords for instance.

Just checked on FF. for my iPad.....it's an app and not the operating system....drat....and guess what, the paper clip now shows up on my IPad!

Not sure what you did Admins,
but THANK YOU....:BigApplause:

Should posting a photo be this difficult? It does not work on my system. Charlene was kind enough to try and walk me through it, even though I have been successful many times in the past in loading photos to this site. She has been successful in the past in uploading photos and spent some time with me walking me through it. She finally gave up because she couldn't find a way of doing it etiher. Something is wrong. There is no "Paper chip" nor "manage attachments" showing up and a box is checked with says "not allowed to load attachments". It should not be this hard....and I've seen many people(who are computer literate) complain before about this before.

[jimbo2012]

Ok it does work, but it may be your browser or it may not be updated.

What kind of browser are you using how old is it.

Did you try going back to the old version of the forum?

Need more info if you want to resolve it.

I just checked on my old version of Safari (which is what I'm using now) and the 'manage attachments' is definitely there at the section called 'additional options', just below where I'm typing. I think that 'not allowed' message is usually for newcomers with less than 10 posts. You probably should PM the Admin. Sounds like a unique problem.

Jimbo, which color paper clip are you clicking on in the photo? :1rotfl: :click:

[jimbo2012]

I use a different color everyday :thumbup:

I don't thing that is the problem....I have many more than 10 posts.....I have been on TOTV for years and have had many posts and have been able to attached photos before without any problem. I have sent messages to the administrator and not received any help.

1. Click on post reply. (not quick reply)
2. In the gray area above the white message screen is a paper clip. Click on it and it will open a new window.
3. Enlarge that window.
4. Choose a picture from your computer. Hit Upload. Click out of that window.
5. Click on paper clip again and your file should be there. Click it.
6. Your picture will show once you submit your reply.

[doccrocker]

under the quick reply box is a Go Advanced button which should take you to the Reply to Thread box. above the message area should be 2 rows of icons. paperclip is between smiley face and undo/redo arrows.

I can't get my photos to upload either :sad: I placed a for sale posting the other night and I couldn't upload the recliner photo. After I go thru all the recommended steps it tells me I have and "upload error". Does it have anything to do with "JPG" ....for example the photo picked was numbered
100_0657.JPG ?

[jimbo2012]

Image may be to big, there are size limitations, 97KB - 640x480.

Run it thru an image re-sizer

[buzzy]

test. Yes, it looks like you have to reduce the size considerably before trying to upload.

[jimbo2012]

here (http://www.resizeyourimage.com/) is one free online site to resize your pics, there are many more including free downloads you can have on your desktop.

[Happy Villager 1]

jimbo2012 I have gone on the resizing site and will now try to post.....Keeping my fingers crossed
