    Open the main index page for the Forum section you want to post in (ie Spyder General Discussion or Forum Support & Testing etc) then click on the Red '+Post New Thread' button in middle left of the screen.

    This is very timely. I have posted many photos, so I do know how to do it. Lately, I can not get the photo post. Sometimes, if I keep trying, after several attempts, the photo made it to the post. Most times, no. What's up with that? I tried to put a photo in this and failed.

    Are you trying to insert an image or add an attachment thru the 'Manage Attachment' facility??

    I find that if you really want everyone to be able to see your images etc regardless of the images size or the viewers screen size &/or have less sizing issues etc during loading (cos by doing it this way the system here will look after most of that sort of stuff for you instead of you needing to do all that before trying to 'Insert' the image or host it elsewhere etc! ) then you should try to use 'Manage Attachments' as follows:
    1. Open a Post Reply or Advanced Post screen so you can see the text insert field;
    2. scroll down past the 'text' field of a 'reply to post' or 'advanced post' screen) then select 'manage attchments';
    3. hit 'Choose File', selecting where from in either the '... from a computer' or '... from a website' boxes, then chosing your image file & hit 'done' (if that's the word/label your device calls the 'submit' button ) - do that one at a time for each image/vid as often as you need to in order to select your chosen images/vids - altho I find that if you limit yourself to attaching no more than 5 (five) attachments per post, it's far more likely to work for you and more likely that all your potential viewers will be able to open your post in order to see/read it ;
    4. then hit the 'Upload' button in the bottom right corner of that box & wait for the system to upload the pics/vids (yes, it might take a while - usually it'll take somewhat longer than you might think it should! );
    5. Once the pics/vids are uploaded, each of their address lines will appear in a little window below the 'upload files from website' box, at which time you can select 'close this window' from the bottom middle of that 'manage attachments' page, & then preview or submit your post with all its attachments appearing as thumbnails so that when they are selected by any viewer, they should be scaled accordingly to fit their screen, no matter how small/large each image might be!


    Help any?!?

    OK, are you trying to do that by using the 'Insert Image' button from the menu bar; or by using the 'Manage Attachments' facility when you are initially creating that post?

    No message, or anything. It's like I never tried.

    Yeah RICZ, I tried it after your post (late yesterday, my time) and got nothing!

    But then this morning.... both methods seem to work OK - at least for me?!?

    Here goes nothing! Giving it another try. If there is no photo, you'll know it's still not working for me.

    I gave it 3 tries. Bubkus!
