How to include pictures

nerfer,

If I upload directly from my computer and reach my cumulative maximum capacity allowance; and therefore I start deleting saved photos or other attachments to make room for new ones, what happens to my prior posts that contained those photos that I've deleted? Would the posts no longer contain those deleted photos?

NB: This is definitely sticky-worthy. I seem to recall that the old software used to have a PC Instructions Section.

 

I had reached my individual disk space limit already (in less than a year's worth of posts), probably because I had posted nothing but full size, high resolution pictures.

Yesterday, I deleted a bunch of photos from my Manage Attachments so that I could post more photos directly from my computer. I suspect (but haven't done more than a check of a few posts) that my prior posts that had contained those photos I deleted, now do not contain those photos.

I think I'm going to have to switch to uploading photos from URL instead. That way the photos can be full size/high resolution, and appear directly in the post that way (instead of a thumbnail).

 

[EDITS IN RED]

You can click on the blue-linked file name on the left to see the picture before you decide whether to delete it.

BTW, I just looked at some more of my posts that originally contained photos that I deleted from my Attachments libary. I'm nearly 100% sure now that if you delete a photo from your Attachments library (in order to make more disk space available to upload photos from your computer), then this results in deleting the photo from all posts you made that originally contained the photo. When you go to those posts you'll see text describing the attachment, e.g. "[Attachment ...]", but no photo anywhere. So that's a bummer -- for me personally, and for others who may want to see that photo.

Yes I have a "borrowed" version of PhotoShop on one of my computers. And I hear that there are decent free programs out there too. But I'm a bit of a novice at any tech stuff. So I haven't learned how to PhotoShop yet. Nor have I used a photo sharing site like flickr yet, so I still haven't uploaded a URL photo onto PC yet. But I'll get there soon enough.

 

Hi nerfer. On my MacBook Pro (no mouse) I ctrl-click on an image to bring up a contextual menu to open, copy, save, or save image address. option-click does nothing.

Hi nerfer,

No your disk space does not have to be full.

1. Click on User CP

2. Click on Attachments

3. You should now have a page with the heading, Attachments Posted By nerfer

4. The page will have 3 columns.

The column on the left has the heading Attachments and will show the file type icon and blue-linked file name of each attachment. If you click on the blue-linked file name the photo will show. Alternatively, at the bottom of the page you can elect to "Show Thumbnails", in which case a thumbnail of each attachment will show under this Attachments column.

The column in the middle will show the Thread and Post titles for each attachment.

The column on the right will show the Date of each attachment.

In addition, there will be a column of sorts on the furthest right containing boxes which you can check if you want to take further action with respect to an attachment.

 

Found it -- it's under the FAQ link. But its "how to" answer to What Are Attachments? is wholly inadequate, e.g., it doesn't say anything about an individual user's cumulative disk space limit for attachments uploaded from a user's computer, and it says nothing at all about uploading URL attachments:

Problem Uploading URL Photos

Nerfer or anyone:

Uploading Photos from URL: I had never done this before either on PC or elsewhere, nor have I ever done photo sharing of any kind, so this is all new to me. So last night I joined the new Adobe Photo Shop combined photo sharing and editing website that's still in its Beta phase, uploaded some photos there, then tried uploading the URLs for these photos to a PC post, but it didn't work. The photo would only appear in the post as that familiar little box with a red x in it. Does anyone know what I may have done wrong? Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

 

I don't know what went wrong with my first attempts to upload URL photos. But I think others have run into that problem too (I've seen recent posts by others which also had nothing but that little box with a red x in it). I'm going to experiment more, probably with a different photo sharing site like flickr. Then when I get it right, I'll probably go back to that Adope Photo Shop site because I like the way it combines Photo Shop editing with photo sharing.

 

I'm having a hard time finding pictures in this website. So far i have only seen user icons but no real albums. Does this site offer this feature? Please advise....

 

Unless something changes with this post, my Profile Picture is not posting. I can see it when I check UserCP and Edit Profile Picture. What am I missing?

 

It's an oldish thread, but now worth continuing. Please take a
look at thread 58436, and the source of the HTML wrapped around
the pic of Carolyn I posted. The picture is *supposed* to link
off to its bigger copy over at techno-fandom, but the way the
post HTML is constructed it winds up linking to itself, the smaller
one. That's not what should be happening, especially when I
deliberately wrapped it in bbcode constructs to try and make it
do the right thing -- {url=/big/pic}{img}/small/pic{/img}{/url}
if I'm not mistaken?? [substitute square brackets for {}]
.
The problem seems to be that there are TWO "<a href=..." blocks
around there, one pointing to the large picture and one to the
small, and only the small one appears to be connected to clicking
the picture itself. What, if anything, am I doing wrong, and if
the answer is "nothing" then can this bit of picture container
please be made to work properly when someone tries to link
small-to-big like this?

firefox, scripting turned off, etc etc.

As a new member, it looks like I cannot include pictures in my posts, even if I have already added the photos to my album. Is that correct?

 

No need to answer--all I need is just this one more post to make the magic 5! Thanks
