TOTALLY GEEKED!

I've never posted a photo either, Blankie.

I need to learn.

To post a pic that is already on your computer:

->Go to advance editor
->Check the box for attaching images.
-> Select images from your computer, then click upload photos.

This will add the pic as an attachment. If you want to add the pic in to the body of the post:

-> Follow above steps
-> Click insert (next to the file that just uploaded)
-> Click remove. This step isn't necessary, but will remove the photo from the attachment side while leaving it in the text body.


To post a pic from an internet host site (e.g. Facebook):

-> Copy pic
-> Paste in to advanced editor

Or:

-> Right click image, select properties
-> Copy URL address
-> In advance editor, click the Insert/Edit Image (Looks like a tree)
-> Paste link in Image URL, and Click insert.

Demonia, thanks for posting that.

But where is advanced editor? I don't see it on my TG page anywhere.

I hovered over all the icons on the TG posting page and it's not one of them.

Demonia, I found the advanced editor. But it didn't work.

I followed these instructions of yours (below). But the same problem happened as before. After I select the image from my computer, there are only two options - open and cancel. There is no upload photos option. When I click on open, it just brings me back to the blank TG posting screen.

->Go to advance editor
->Check the box for attaching images.
-> Select images from your computer, then click upload photos.

Next question, how can I delete pictures after they've been up for a while?

 You can only delete your posts for 24 hours.  After that, you have to request that a mod do it.

Maybe this will help? Or at least show you what I'm looking at when I do the steps.

Attach Image:

Click browse, select file, then open. From their you should be able to click upload photo.

Next hit insert:

Then I like to hit remove and uncheck the attach photos block, but it isn't necessary.

Your image should stay in the post.

 

If yours isn't giving you these option, I would recommend uploading them to a hosting site and copy them over.

 

 

Interesting. Which browser are you using? I noticed Firefox has a button that says Attached Image. When I click it, it takes me to my files, to select a pic then open.  It does this when I click open :

 

From there I am able to use the Insert button to put the image in the post and the Remove to delete it from attachments.  Chrome does the same as FireFox for me.

 

 

Here's how I do it and I've never had any problems.. I use Google Chrome for a browser if that means anything. 

Right click on the picture you want to post. Click 'Copy Image URL' 

In advanced editor hit the 'tree' box. 

Paste the Image URL into the space within the tree box. Hit Insert. Done.
