How exactly do you post pictures..... I know I sound like a complete noob! Please help!
Thanks!

There's two ways you can post pictures:

• You can click the IMG button on the top row when posting (only visible when in full editor mode, not quick reply) and it'll make

  Code: Select all

  [img][/img]
  tags and you can put a URL to an image between them.
• You can scroll down and click the "Upload attachment" button. From here you can pick and choose a file you'd like to upload. After you've picked your file, click "Add the file" and it'll upload. Once that is done, you can click "Place inline" and it'll insert the appropriate BBCode in order for it to display.

Hope this helps and makes sense. If not, just let me know!

I keep getting directed to a blank page when I click on "Add the file" I've tried it in Chrome and Safari

I've heard of this happening. The cases I've heard of, the file was huge. What's the filesize? Are the dimensions really large?

The file I was uploading is 2.8mb... and it is full-res (albeit compressed because it is a jpeg). I'll convert it to a smaller png and give it another shot.

EDIT: Converting to a png-8 (in photoshop) andddd condensing it to 55%/45% of the original quality did the trick! *duh*

Can't remember who it was exactly, but I know another user had a problem with uploading large images. Another option would be to upload it somewhere and just link it

Ya, I use my dropbox as a last resort!
