Posting Pictures

[drache]

the copy/paste part is not the issue, actually

there's tabs in firefox, that make it really easy to move between pages

but I still just get a URL that someone can click on, rather than the actual image

there must be some crucial something I'm not doing

I tend to be better with power tools and a pitchfork . . .

Can you please try posting a picture. It might give mw an idea where the problem is. You should be able to just copy and past the image string from below the picture in the gallery.

Hurrah - it worked

Thanks so much

Hot tip
Jeff showed me this site that lets you alter sizes and file sizes of pictures.
It's at:

Resize Images online

really easy to use (just what I needed).
Now perhaps I can post some of those early pictures with the gigantic file sizes

I tend to be better with power tools and a pitchfork . . .

But you're an acupunturist! Scary!

[drache]

it's also a manual skill, requiring very little electronic equipment.
And if the patient gives me trouble I can always resort to the pitchfork.

Can someone help me? I don't have a link that says "upload pictures" anywhere. I go to gallery and to my pictures but nowhere do I see an upload link. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

It may be just because you're a brand new member. Once you have posted a few times and your posts don't go into the "moderation queue", the link may appear.

It should be on the extreme right, just above the "search" button.

Thanks, I'll keep an eye out for it
