Default Post a picture

A little help please.

Using the paper clip on TOTV to post a picture is obviously not simple. I can browse my photos, select the one I want and then click on upload. How do I then get the image I've uploaded to the TOTV screen?

OK, now lets go to the insert image capability. It asks me to enter the URL of the image I want to insert. How do I get the URL address of the image from "my pictures".

Any help would be appreciated.

On most message boards you normally can post an avatar from your computer but for pictures you normally need a URL on the internet. So if you see a picture on the internet all you need is it's location. If it's a personal picture then it's best to download them onto a website, I use ImageShack® - Online Photo Hosting

For example, here is a photo I took of our kitchen and then downloaded it to 'Imageshack' and then pasted the URL for that photo onto this message board here in my post. You can see the URL I used to post the photo at the bottom.

Mr Mark, once you select upload, the photo will show up in your post...it's just not obvious that it's there until you hit "post reply". Or you can go to advanced and "preview post". You should then be able see your photo before you post it.

We wanted white cabinets with stainless appliances since that's what we had up north. Unfortunately when it comes to CYV's they don't allow choices. Last May when we were buying they had six 'Woodlawn' models on the market, none had white cabinets and they didn't start putting stainless in yet. It's now called a "Durham" model, 2 BR 2BA CYV. So we settled on this unit with 'Natural Maple' cabinets. It had all neutral countertops, vinyl and carpeting so we were happy with the way it was set up. We had "Investment Painters" paint the inside walls a light blue and we added a white subway tile backsplash.

I know this is an old post but I am having major issues posting a picture. Everything is smaller than the requirements but once I go to save it, it says the upload failed. Any suggestions.

Try reducing the image size and make sure the format is compatible ie: .jpg, .pdf, .png etc

I did both of those I reduced the size and the pixels within the requirements and it still didn't work. My husband said it does not work for him either.

Can you email to us and we can try to replicate the issue. It is not a site wide problem.
