PLEASE Help Me....Super Frustrated

[Sweetness]

..was able to use Jville instructions and enlarge a "in post pic" but now I can't. I see the "pencil" and the sizer window does not launch......
I am doing all the steps. Grrrrr. I have some great ole photos to share and spend two hours last night and can't dowit!!!!!

Please kindly help me someone.:confused:

sweetness, when you hover over the thumbnail and see the pencil, if you click on the pencil you should see options to choose different sizes for your photo and then you can choose large. It only works when you are in advance settings. Also using safari as a browser doesn't work, I had to switch to Firefox. Jville instructions saved me once I figured out what browser to use. I hear internet explorer also works.

Sweetness,
I am using IE8, not sure if browser makes difference or not.
This how I have been inserting pictures.
In the advanced reply, I insert pictures by opening the 'manage attachments' (paperclip thingy)
Click on 'add files' (top right corner), click on basic uploader, click on browse (upload from computer highlighted)
Select picture (resized to 800x600 using image resizer), then click on upload.
Picture shows up in both home and attachment section of 'manage attachments'
With the picture checked in the attachment section of 'manage attachments' , I then click on insert inline (red highlight button bottom right), it then shows up in the post as 'attach config blah blah attach'
I then switch editors clicking the a/A button and the picture shows up in the post.
I then roll the mouse over picture and the pencil shows up.
I click on pencil and image settings dialog box opens up, I click on full size radio button and then hit save.
Full size picture shows up in post when previewed.
Hope this helps, Winston.

OMG- it sounds soooo complicated to upload a photo. I thought we would not have to resize with new board. Maybe I will get the knack....someday1153

[7milelover]

My photo came out "tiny".

[negrilaholic]

I only know how to do it one way myself. I can understand your frustration completely.

[MissBlue]

i agree this sure is a very complex procedure for posting a pic.

sweetness are you sure you're using 'advanced' reply? and are you doing this step? (this is the one i was missing, thank u winston!!!) ---> then switch editors by clicking the a/A button and the picture shows up in the post.

after doing that, then the pencil should be active, and will launch the sizer window where you click on the 'large' or 'full size' buttons to enlarge the pic in the post.

Also - even when the pics post tiny ..... once it is posted, users can click on the upper right corner of the pic, and it will open up to the full size, as a 'pop up' for viewing.

Remember that you do not need to post the picture large. If the viewer is a registered member of the board and is logged in, they can click on the thumbnail to see a larger image.

:D1157O.K. lets see now.

[poolguywindsor]

Last night after hours and hours invested I finally was able to upload some photos (resized which I thought you didnt have to do?} but they are the tiny versions,it seems to be much to complicated to upload a picture when it only takes seconds to upload a video?

[Jim-Donna]

WOW I did it but, it was alot to do for one picture.

newbie to the new board, but an oldie in love for negril.

OK...Once I found the pencil, which was hard to see at first on this picture, I saw the resizing option. Not too hard once you know to click on the pencil. BTW I use firefox.

[Kevin, PA]

BTW...as is the case with both old and new boards, it's nice that the pictures can be uploaded and hosted on the board rather then having to upload them first to a 3rd party picture hosting site.

[lawngirl]

Hi sweetness, I am having trouble uploading photos too. I find this board slow to load as well. I have a MAC, using Safari, I think some of us who use Facebook are used to how easy it is to do everything on there.

[Kevin, PA]

I have a MAC, using Safari...

That is probably your problem. I don't think safari is supported.

[Sweetness]

Do not use a MAC, have no idea what Safari, Firefox, etc. are. I have a PC and internet explorer and was able to successfully do this ONCE.

I am following the instructions to a tee!!!!!
see the thumbnail and the pencil but the resize window will not launch - does nothing.
Oy Vey. Will try again but too tired right now.

Thanks all for sharing my pain. Once I get it worked out I am sure it will become habit.
Bless:cool:

:D:rolleyes:I did it with a saved google picture but can not do it with my personal ones

[Kevin, PA]

Make sure you click on the pencil and if you still get nothing then...just guessing...maybe you are blocking popups?"

[Kevin, PA]

Make sure you click on the pencil and if you still get nothing then...just guessing...maybe you are blocking popups?"

Nevermind...if you got that far it's not a popup issue. I'm gonna guess that you're clicking on he picture and not the pencil.

Rob,
Maybe host a boardie gathering how to do this pic and video class? understanding the new program..or link somthin on here to explain to us people who are struggling? just sayin, maybe someone already has..?

[marley9808]

Sweetness, check and make sure you dont have pop ups blocker enabled
Along the top of your browser, click on "Tools"
Then click on Pop-Up blocker
Then Turn off pop up blocker

See if that makes a difference?
Hope it works (fingers crossed)

[marley9808]

Ok...I've decided to try to do a photo tutorial cuz I was also very stuck for a bit :) I tried making an actual video but the darn cam was not cooperating.



1199 Reply then Advanced
1203Choose Add files
1202After finding your files and opening them..Upload them
1206They may automatically go into the bottom half..if not then click and drag them there.
1200Make sure this box is checked then choose Insert Inline from bottom right corner
1204After inserting it will put the link into your post...then click on the a/A button in the top right corner....this will change the link to a thumbnail size photo I couldn't get a pic of the pencil cuz i needed my mouse to click the take picture button but after the link turns into a thumbnail you need to hover the mouse pointer over the photo. In the top left corner a pencil will appear. You need to click the pencil and another window pops up giving u the options to resize.
1207
1208 Choose full size as in these photos.
1205
1201And here is the full sized photo :)

Hope this helps someone

Absolutely Patty!!!!!

[7milelover]

It's funny. I clicked on my "tiny" pic and it enlarged it to a medium size, but alot smaller than Jim_Donna's picture. When I clicked their picture...it got smaller. I really thought we wouldn't have to resize on this new baord, but I guess not.

[Sweetness]

1211 Why oh why does it wk sometimes and other times not. OK going to the A-Z post and gonna try again to add a pic. Toes and fingers crossed.

This is another test for a document I am composing on how to post/resize pictures on the board.

[Kevin, PA]

here's a thread with a link to a doc I created that should make posting/resizing a picture easy.
