Default "How to" insert an image into a post or PM...

HDForums is using a new photo uploader. Here's a short "How to" insert an image into a post:


1. Click the Insert Image button..



Now the "Upload Images" screen opens:



2. This screen gives you 4 options:
a. Drag and drop pictures from your computer
b. Add an image from your Personal Album
c. Select an image by browsing to an image file on your computer
d. Paste a "direct link" picture URL from an online Photo Album like Photobucket
Pick an option, select the image and the Upload message comes up:



3. Once the "Upload Images" screen shows your image, click "Insert" and the image will be inserted into your post.

Great write up. Thank you. I've been able to do that successfully from my computer, however, I'm wondering if there is a way to do it from my Samsung "android" smart phone? Any help would be appreciated -thank you.

Default How to attach picture to reply using phone based web!

Ok, Im going to attempt to help others out with this.
Remember, this may very from device to device. I am running HDF on an Samsung android device.
I want to help as much as I can, feel free to ask what you may, if I dont know how to answer your question, at least I can try =)

Step 1
Assuming you are already at your USERCP home page
Make sure you are in the mobile version by going to the bottom left of your screen and hitting the following
*DROP DOWN BUTTON*




THEN MAKE SURE "MOBILE ONE" IS SELECTED



Once your in, go to the posting of your choice and.....

....HIT REPLY




THEN THE PICTURE ATTACHMENT BUTTON



AT THIS POINT YOU SHOULD BE AT A SCREEN LIKE THIS, HIT MY DEVICE (BECAUSE YOU WILL BE ATTACHING PICS FROM YOUR DEVICE)



DEPENDING ON YOUR DEVICE YOU WILL BE ASKED TO POINT WHERE YOU WANT TO GET THE PICTURES FROM



AFTER YOU HAVE SELECTED THE PICTURE OF YOUR CHOICE (FOR INSTRUCTIONAL PURPOSES, I CHOSE MY 07 FXD )
NOW HIT INSERT




AND THATS IT, THE LINK TO YOUR PICTURE SHOULD BE SHOWN ON YOUR REPLY BOX.

Sorry for the long post, enjoy a picture of my FXD

Default Done all of the set up procedures, no go...

I use to be able to post pictures with no problem until recently. I have done all of the editor setup procedures, they are the same as when I was able to upload pictures with no problem.
I do the picture upload and press the "Insert" button but nothing happens on the "Reply to thread" window.
What else could be the matter?


Windows 7 Op system.

Can anyone tell me why my pics keep going up as thumbnails instead of full size like everyone else's?

Thanks

Default Getting A Message that Admin Must Approve Before Viewing

I'm a newbit, and I admit it

When I insert a picture from my album into a reply to a thread, I get a message stating that the content of my message has to be reviewed by an Admin before the post can be seen. If I don't include a picture (either from my album or from my PC), the message posts and is visible immediately. I did discover that I can attach a picture as a thumbnail and post the reply immediately, and at a later point I can insert the picture (by editing my post) into the body of the post and then delete the thumbnail.

I have made two posts which said they would not be displayed until reviewed (one yesterday and one today). So far, so true.

I just saved this posting and from what I can tell, it was immediately visible on the thread. I am now trying to insert a picture from my album:

HOGN IT


Looks like that method works for me
