As @dannyboy says if you've managed to get the piccie into your gallery then just need to find that piccie, scroll to the BBCode link and copy that into your post.

@Southerngooner  If you were being forced to use pdfs you must have been trying to use "attachments and other options" link? Loads of people get caught out by that, this forum has a non-standard way of adding piccies.

The quicker way to add a new image to a post is to use "Add image to post and upload to gallery" link which is right above the text box where you write your post  :)


Upload the piccie either as a random photo or to your user gallery, and it should plug the BB code into the text for you. That's the way I do it unless I'm plugging in a piccie I've used before and which is already in the gallery.

Easy when you know how........

It does get confusing though, but I've seen the amount of posts in these threads and appreciate its a lot of work for the mods to make things easier.

Thanks for the help guys!

My preferred method as I have umpteen galleries so it's easier to find things.
It also helps the forum capacity if pics are resized to 1MB or less before uploading. I do this in 'Paint'

the easiest way to load a photo is to use Gallery/upload multple items - it works for singles as well, and is drag'n drop

then click on My Images, double click on your picture, and copy all of the BB code into a message ( as above)

Simples!

Not that simple on a phone/tablet IMO. Adding at the time of posting is easier. I still don't think it's overly intuitive.

Is it me, or is there a problem for some users since the migration? I can't add photos at all.  :(

@Foxhound it's just you  :D   :D   

For me it's working just as well as before, except there was a problem with the "Add image to post and upload to gallery" refusing to redirect back to the original post and inserting the BB code.  As noted in the Forum Issues thread.

Cheers Nick, sorted it now. It was only a picture of a 37 anyway, nothing too exciting.

For anyone who wants cut the sizes of their images down without using paint or the like. VSO Image Resizer4 works well for Windows computers W10/W11, its a free download.
