How do I post a picture

QPrincess — Wed, 19 Aug 2020 00:00:18 GMT

If I have a picture on my phone - how do I post it to an online posting here?

I'd love to share a picture of what was in my package, received today, of a Women with Control denim jacket. I don't even know what this is!

@QPrincess There is a tutorial in "Welcome, Get Started" in the menu in the left column on this page.

@QPrincess

Click on the Insert/Edit icon above

Click Choose File, on left side find where your picture is posted on your desktop, in pictures etc. On right side find the picture, click on it, click on open, click Insert Image. HTH

I just save the pic to my desktop so it's easy to find before I start.

With my pictures, I have to edit them as they are generally too large. So if you run into that problem, crop the picture and then insert. I load them from my phone, so you don't have to send them to your desktop. However you may have to make sure you change to the "full" version at the bottom by the sign in in order to get the icons. See screen shot.

@Lindsays Grandma

Go by the steps I posted to see if you can get a pic posted. Hope is easy to understand for others.

Looks like @Yahooey posted pics to the steps I posted on How to post a pic.

@MamaWick

Sometimes I have to resize the pic too. If the small, medium large open does not work I resize in Adobe Photoshop.

If the pic is too large they will know since it will not post.

Yes. I don't know how else to get it there from your phone. I'm not a tech wiz but I can do some stuff. LOL!!!

If someone else knows of a way please post?

@QPrincess, @Nightowlz, @Lindsays Grandma,

to answer your question about uploading an image

directly from a mobile device (phone or tablet),

I'll add this to the great information

@Kachina624, @Yahooey, and @MamaWick

already shared.😊

I use an iPad (and sometimes an iPhone), so I don't know how this will look on other brands, but I hope this will give you the general steps to follow and the logic behind them.

On your phone or tablet:

1 -- "Choose File" is asking for the location where you saved/stored your picture on your device.

2 -- After you tapped/clicked "Choose File," the system will display locations where you might find images (also lets you take a new photo).

On my iPad, images are stored in the "Photo Library" so that's what I choose.

3 -- After I chose my Photo Library as my image location, I saw a choice of the albums currently on my device.

4 -- In this case, I tapped on "Recents" and the window displayed all of the images currently available in my "Recents" album.

I tapped on one of the pictures, and a check mark in a blue box appeared in the lower right corner of the chosen image.

Then, I tapped "Done."

5 -- The Q site loaded the image. You'll see there are other options you can edit, such as the title, but you don't have to change any of them if you don't want to.

Be sure to tap/click "INSERT IMAGE."

The Q site will add the image to your album in your profile and also will add the pic in your reply dialogue box on the thread.

6 -- Then add any text you want and, as usual, tap/click "POST."

Hope this makes sense! Just keep asking questions, try out the process, play around with it. You always have the option of not posting the image, or removing it after you post, or even going to your profile albums and deleting there.

Happy posting, everyone!😊
