Attaching / Uploading Images to Posts

[casportpony]

How can we attach/upload images to posts? I see that some people are hot linking, while others are attaching/uploading.

For myself, I just click on the attach files box under the message box. That allows you to choose files including photo files. Clicking that should take you to your photo library. Check which photo you want and upload it onto site.

In that case you’ll have to wait for someone else to help you. I don’t know how to do that.
Sorry.

I see you figured out the picture thing.
Nice looking dog.

Thanks. I "hot linked" that. The picture is hosted here: Ended - Official BYC Mini-Contest—Pets With Paws Photo Contest

Oh ok. There’s others that use computers that can help you,I’m sure. How did you get my comment on this thread? I’ve been here 7 years and didn’t realize that could be done.

Casportpony, I don’t think you‘ve been here long enough to post photos. I think it’s a week.

Thank you. You’ll do just fine around here.

I've never attached a photo so just for fun I tried, and here are the results; but it's way smaller than everyone else's?

@casportpony I hope I'm not just completely dense, but I don't get this? I understand words more easily than pictures.

If you want your picture to show up bigger than the little square, you have to "Insert" it after you "Attach files". You can insert it in two different sizes, "Thumbnail" and "Full image"

Attach files:
