Posting images on the forum

[Jayach]

Due to a problem I had on the forum, I've started again from a new user. I know the forum rankings are:

First Poster
Newbie
Occasional Poster
Contributor 1-5
Regular 1-5
Helper 1-5
Advocate 1-5
Scholar 1-5
Mentor 1-5
Expert 1-5
Elite 1-5
Champion 1-5
Legend 1-5

But does anyone know the level/criteria to be able to post images?

@commanda6 No I can't, just the NOW selection, that is where I have looked, obviously.

Are you able to upload pictures?

[redchiz1]

Yes . 🙂

Waking this thread as I'm still unable to post images.

I've PM'd a couple of Community Managers but had no replies.

Anyone know a way of contacting the forum administrators?

When composing a reply, click on the camera icon above and take it from there.

When I click on the camera I get:

What do I do with that?

[redchiz1]

Hmm, pass, sorry, no idea what's going on there I'm afraid.

Neither do I, that's why I started this thread.

If I try to paste an image to the post I get:

@Jayach 

I tap the Camera icon in the row of images below Body when composing a posting on this iPad, and I get:-

where I tap ‘Add more images’, get taken to ‘Photo Library’/‘Take Photo or Video’/‘Choose File’, where I pick up the screenshot I took earlier, as above, and paste it in.

This may work slightly differently on an Android device or a laptop, but the general principles are the same.

(The process I followed to get a photo of the screenshot and paste it here all makes sense only if you don’t think about it too much).

Thank @RoyB , that is how it used to work when I was on my previous User (JohnH1, but I deleted that when I decided I preferred this name)

If I had known that for some reason this user wouldn't be allowed to post images, I would not have deleted the previous one.

When it was working the easiest way to post a screenshot  (if you are on Windows) was to use the Windows snipping tool - Press Windows logo key + Shift + S. This puts it straight into the clipboard, and if you don't need to edit it just paste it straight into the reply - ctrl + v. If you do need to edit it you can use the built in options of the snipping tool, or your own favourite editor, then snip it again and paste. No need for an intermediate picture to exist.
