Title: Issues making post?
Post by: tizdaz on September 21, 2024, 10:00:03 pm

Hi!


Having issues making posts which contain images, tried the options available, but when i click post, nothing happens and it just reverts back losing everything i typed in message box etc which is frustrating, i had issues with this many moons ago and mentioned it but its still the same, ive not posted a batch of images for a while until now but still the same!? Something that maybe needs to be looked at, just a heads up anyway.

I agree it is not easy on this web site but can be done.   Make sure the photo has been reduced to about a few thousand pixels.  You might want to save it with the suffix 'small' so it is easy to find again.

First do your typing then add the photo and that seems to work.

Hi Tizdaz,
yes it can be a bit frustrating posting on old-fashioned forum  ....  {:-{

What you can do is, post all the text first, save / post that   and add the photo subsequently in secondary posts
 ( as many as you want ) and add the photos in there.

( several options )  :-)

hey guys!


I managed a work around...kind of, instead of using forum to host/upload as I think that's where the issue is, is I just linked the images from my own website, seemed to work with no issues ;)
