How to Upload?

Hi All.

How does one upload drawings and photos in this forum?

Regards.

Are you viewing it on a phone or tablet? If you use a PC I think the options are obvious.

Hi.

I use a laptop, it may be obvious to you but not to everybody, or I would not have made this request for help and guidance.

Select "reply", then "go advanced", then "manage attachments". Then "add files" to upload files. Then drag the ones you want into the box and you are nearly there. "Add files inline" inserts the attachment(s) where your cursor is.

As you say, unless you know what you are doing, it's hard to know what to do!

Ray, I wasn't trying to patronise you, until you know how it really isn't obvious! As Muzzer said, you need to be in "full fat" advanced mode rather than using quick reply.

And as far as I can see you can't post attachments when viewing the forum on a phone or tablet.

Hi Ray.
I'm new to the Forum.
Since I'm facing the same problem, could you tell me the steps to upload photos?
I've tried but I couldn't.…… .
Until now, I haven't faced such a problem on any other Forum but I don't know what's going on. I've gotten really old.

Thank you in advance.

Look at Muzzer's post 2 or 3 above.

I followed all the steps but nothing happens.
The size of the photo is small but nothing.

Log in.

Start a new thread.

Scroll past the text input window and near the bottom there will be an option to attach files. Edit: actually the option is to manage attachments!

Attach your photo as a file.

If you want to post a photo or other file in a reply select "go advanced" rather than quick reply, and again scroll down until to see the attach option.

Hopefully a bot can't add images.

Are there any post count requirements for new users on this forum?

Negative. Welcome and enjoy!

I was asking if a minimum number of posts is required to get permission to post images.
