FIAT 131R 223 Report post Posted August 29, 2014 How do you add a picture to a message on this site. I tried to do a search to see if this had been asked before and the sh*t the search showed up was spectacularly USELESS. There is an option to add files to this post but not for messaging Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

handgrenade 189 Report post Posted August 29, 2014 its a bit annoying yes .. what you can do is add the image to a post as an attachment, then in your message, you can click my media, and select anything youve attached in the past .. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's bloody marvellous Andy but the option to add a picture or a file isn't coming up in the messages Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
handgrenade 189 Report post Posted August 30, 2014 you can post images which are already online easy enough but i cant seem to find the option to 'attach' and image from my local drive to a message. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonic_attack 89 Report post Posted August 30, 2014 Click "full editor". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FIAT 131R 223 Report post Posted August 30, 2014 Click "full editor". By clicking full editor does it give you next weeks winning lotto numbers because it sure as hell won't let you upload pictures to a message. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
handgrenade 189 Report post Posted August 30, 2014 yeah full editor while posting in a thread does give you the option to upload attachments, however the feature is missing when using full editor or anything while in private messages. suggest maybe using tinypic.com or something, then you can link it real quick ..

sonic_attack 89 Report post Posted August 30, 2014 By clicking full editor does it give you next weeks winning lotto numbers because it sure as hell won't let you upload pictures to a message. Ha, So I see. Seems you need to have a pic uploaded somewhere already - Facebook, photobucket, or some image hosting site. Then copy/paste the url of the image. Sorry I'd just assumed the same applied when "full editor" was used, looks just the same as a regular thread post. I'd never used it.. That works. Your PM inbox is full by the way.

FIAT 131R 223 Report post Posted August 30, 2014 Thanks for the reminder on the PM box being full. I just emptied a lot out of it. I have yet to see a site more difficult to do things on than this site. I guess we should congratulate the designer and then remove his hands and his head. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonic_attack 89 Report post Posted August 30, 2014 Probably saves a lot of server space. seems the requirement for uploading pics is they're made public which probably isn't too unreasonable for a site with reasonable traffic. There's probably some easy solution whereby the pics from your camera/phone are synced to something like dropbox or cubby. I've used both and cubby seems a pretty good cloud and free use for 5gig? Then just link straight to that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
