How to post pictures from your computer

Easier way to post pictures from your computer.You can change your "Setting" (upper right corner) to use the WYSIWYG editor which allows you to more quickly upload pics.

Go to: "Setting" (upper right corner)
Click on "General Settings" (left side, middle of My Settings box)

Go to bottom of page and select:

• Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing

Then after you have changed your settings here is what you do ,go make a post......at the upper left of your post window there are some icons run your curser over them the square looking one should say Insert Image
instructions for posting pics............
First you have to click on the "insert image" icon. It is located between the "unlink" icon (that has a red x on it) and the "insert video" icon (that looks like a film strip). These icons are located just above where you type in the quick reply area. Once you click on "insert image", then the box pops up that has the words "insert image" at the top, as the title. Just under the words "insert image" at the top are 2 tabs (choices). One tab is "my computer" and next to it is a tab that says "From URL". It the picture is on your computer, make sure and click on the "my computer" tab (if should turn grey if selected) Then in the bottom right of that box are the words "basic uploader". Click on those words and then click on the "choose file" button that shows up. Then select your pic, click open....then click upload....give it a minute...then click submit.

Depends on where you have the pictures stored.

If on your computer, click on the "picture frame" icon (Insert Image) .... then click on "From Computer" on the drop down box (to make sure it finds your computer's photo file) ... then click "Choose File", which will bring up your computer's photo files. Find the file that has the picture, then click on that picture. That will put an image address in the line at the bottom of that box. Then you click "Open" and that will bring you back to the first drop down box ... and you click on "Upload File(s)" which will add the picture to your message.

If they're on your phone : it may depend on if it's an iPhone or Android phone, whether or not you have the Tapatalk app or Crappie.com app on the phone, and in what position you held the phone when the picture was taken.

I have an Android phone & the Tapatalk app, and I have to take pics with the top of the phone pointing to my right in order for the pictures to come out correctly on the site. The site does not always read the correct position the pic was taken, and tries to correct it by turning the pic 1/4 turn to the left ... leaving many pics "sideways" in the message box. Doesn't seem to matter if you're using the Tapatalk app or the C.c app, as the C.c app is a Tapatalk app link.

You can test your pics on the "Testing Area" forum to see how they'll appear when posted. That forum is at the very bottom of all the different forums listed (under Misc. Forums). The good thing about the Testing Area forum is that once you post a pic there, you can simply copy/paste it from there to any message post you make in the entire site. It's basically being stored on the site.

I would point you to posts about "how to" on posting pics, but most of them are outdated due to site updates/upgrades & both of the apps being updated. (like the one "G" just posted)
