Posting pictures help (with graphic examples)

Great thread on adding a pic to the post. This a test to see if I can do it. A little 925 silver ring I found on the beach with the Deus. Looks like it works. Awesome, thanks to GKL!

Is there a way to attach photos to post in a group? There is no paper clip icon so I have been using links but I noticed that on some older post the photo is attached and visible without having to click.

The method mentioned at the beginning of this thread can be used multiple times in the same post if you want to add more than one picture to the same post.

This is also a test, a couple pics of a ring I found in 2016.
That works nice but I cant seem to get both pics, oh well I'll keep trying.
Thanks GKL!

No problem glad to try to help, sometimes it's hard to tell the problem not being able to see the pic first hand, but since one pic posts and the other doesn't maybe the other pic exceeds the size limits ?

Check the size limit chart on the 1st post in this thread - https://metaldetectingforum.com/show...23&postcount=1

If it is too large you need to resize (or crop) it with a graphic program on your computer first.

Also, you can avoid the "attached images" wording if you use the paperclip adding method on the 1st post also.

after you click on the paper clip, then "browse", search for the folder on you computer where you stored the photos and choose the photo you want to upload. (also notice the maximum file size chart)

Attachment 388558

you can upload 5 photos at a time after you browse and choose each one individually

Attachment 388559

close that window after you see all photos have uploaded

now you're ready to add the photo(s) to your post -

IF you need to resize your photos, you need to do so before choosing and uploading them, I use the "Paint" program that is built into Microsoft Windows, if you don't use Microsoft Windows you'll need to use a similar program.

If you want to just use part of a photo -
(if you need to both resize and crop, I would crop first, then see if you still need to resize)

Not sure about your specific model of phone, but I can plug the same cable I use to charge my phone into the USB port of my computer and access the files on my phone and do a"copy and paste" of photos from my phone to my computer.
