Adding a photo in the forum

Calibre26 · 08-09-2021, 10:43 AM

Been asked to supply a screenshot in one of my conversations here on the forum but when I click on the the photo image above the chatbox it asks for a URL. How do I attach a photo from my phone or laptop?

Go to the 'Advanced' reply page, and click on 'Manage Attachments'

Tried a number of times and nothing seems to be happening. The details of the photo showing but when I click upload they disappear.

As a follow up I thought, perhaps, it was because I was using my Android phone so I am now on my Windows laptop.
I clicked on Go Advanced/Manage Attachments/Browse File/Uploaded a File/ It added the image but I couldn't see how to get it from there to the chat box.
The only option was Remove File.

Once you have used the Manage Attachments, clicked on upload and see the file listed under Attach Files and close the window, does clicking on the paperclip icon show the file? If so, it should be displayed as a thumbnail when you submit the message.

Yes, thank you. I had no idea I was supposed to click the paperclip. I was trying to click on Insert Image.
Thanks DNSB
