Well, I still don't know how to upload pictures so they stay full-size rather than turn into those little teeny things that you have to click to see full-size. Now that I've been reminded, here's the question:

How do I upload any to the album? And is there a limit to how many pictures, what sizes, can be in the album? In other words, do I have to keep deleting pictures in the album in order to make room for any new ones?

Usually if I want to post a picture in a message, it's just a one-time thing, hardly worth all the trouble of uploading it to the album, figuring out the URL, and including it in a post just that once... and then it's just there taking up space. Is there a speedy, efficient way to get pictures to stay full-size?

I see lots of people's posts with lots of different photos day after day, and it makes me think there must be a good way to do it that I just haven't found out about.

Thanks! :love::love::love::love::love:

When you have a photo you want to add to an album, go to your profile, and open you existing album.

In the top bar, hit "Upload Pictures" which then opens a window.

In that window, you will see "1. Click Add Files to upload new files or select from existing files below" on the left and "Add Files" on the right. His "Add Files."

It brings up a dialog box and you hit "Choose File" and select the file you want. The box closes once you select it, and next to the "choose File" button it will have the file name, and below that a button to Upload." Hit that.

That image will appear in a window below the rest of the pictures, and be selected. Hit "Done."


Now go back to your album, and click "Upload pictures" Drag that new picture into the lower window and hit done.

You'll see "Pending Pictures." with that pictures in a row by itself, with a box for its title pn the left and the name of the album it is going into below it, and an option to "Make this my album cover" which you can ignore Hit "Save Changes"

Now you will be back in your album, where you can click on that image or any of the others, and see options for the picture URL, or the BB code. Copy either, paste it into your thread and you get the actual size image, not the thumbnail, like with attachments. Does that help?

Okay, I found my albums and found the Birthday-Cupcake picture, which I put into George's Birthday thread. I think I at least know where to start from now. And I know where to find these instructions again.

Thank you, Karen!

Hi there.

I am trying to upload a couple of pics from my computer so I can post Zoe's memorial.

I've looked at the different instructions here but nothing is working. I can copy them from Facebook but they will be huge.

The last post here was 2015. Has anything changed?

Thanks.

When you go to "Manage Attachments", does a window open that says "File Upload Manager"?

Yes - but nothing uploads.

Actually, many of the photos I want are in an album here on PT. I want to add a couple more pictures to the album and then put the pics from the album into my post. I haven't yet figured out how to do that.

Candace, if you open the image in the album you want, you'll see a BB code under it. Copy that and then click on Insert image just over the text box, choose URL and paste it in. Uncheck "Retrieve remote file and reference locally" and your image will show. :)

Hope that helps. :) It was a lot easier in the "old days" though. I cannot add new pictures to my albums, and half of them are gone. :(

Thank you Randi.

Have you figured out a way to add photos to the album from your computer? Or even to the post itself?

Karen said she was going to work on getting the photo feature working again but she has been very busy!

No, I haven't, but you may be able to copy an image from photobucket or a similar site. Not sure, though. I have given up.

Photobucket now costs mopey, but if you have the image uploaded anywhere else, or you upload it as an attachment here, that should work, or email it to me, and I can add it.

When you want to post a picture now, you hit the little "picture" icon as before ...

That brings up two options - From Computer and From URL - which means from somewhere else on the Internet.

When you select From Computer it says "Add an Image from your computer
Allowed Filetypes: jpg, jpeg, png, gif" and gives you a button to choose a file. Once you have chosen the file, see the line of text below the "Choose File" button that says "Upload file" and click that, and you're done.

When you select From URL - it says "Add an Image from Url
Allowed Filetypes: jpg, jpeg, png, gif" and gives you a box in which to type (or paste) the address for the picture you want to use, and below that is automatically checked "Retrieve remote file and reference locally" and then hit "okay" and you are done!

Now, it's not gonna look like it used to with [IM G] tags - instead it will look like [ATTACH = CONFIG ]52439[/ ATTA CH] - without the spaces of course, but it will post the image right there in the post.

Does that help?

I've been having trouble with it, too, but now I see my problem. It doesn't allow bitmaps, for some reason. I'll try changing the file type.

All right, I tried making the pictures jpegs, and I tried making them REALLY small, and STILL no pictures were uploaded to my post! What's going on? Will someone please answer this question for me?

Btw, where is everyone? For who's online, it only shows me and Karen. Oh ok, I see now. Karen and I are the only USERS online right now. The others are all guests.

I need to upgrade the server software, sorry. Hopefully soon!

Is that why I can't upload pictures?

The forum software needs upgrading - it no longer works with some newer browsers. I am in the process of migrating to a different server company, then will work on upgrading the very outdated forum software.

I am sorry it is so much work for you, Karen. I look forward to sharing pics on PT again!:D


Thank you.

Can any of you recommend a good and free image hosting site?

I have never used those services, but I found the following:

https://makeawebsitehub.com/free-photo-hosting/

I hope this is helpful!

Thanks Heidi! I have seen those sites, but I can't decide what to use. :confused:

I wonder how you get photos onto Pet Talk... do you have your own site you upload them to, and do it from there? The album here doesn't work for many of us.

I take all the pictures with my smart phone. From there, I e-mail them to my computer which operates on Windows 10 and has Chrome as browser.
I save the pictures in File explorer. From there, I'm able to upload them to Pet talk with the Attachments option.
