Stuck re photo posting directions


Recommended Posts

I have reviewed the stickied help post regarding postings pics, but need a bit more clarification.

I am familiar with having an online hosting site and with securing the photo's URL.

It is this part of the directions where I run into difficulty ...

"Once you have the URL copied into your computer's clip board, you can simply come back to the TGO message editor when posting a reply or a new thread, and click on the Image button in the toolbar as shown below. ... This will open up a new dialogue box where you will copy and paste the URL of the photo that you want to share."

I use both an iMac and an iPad. I can't see the above referenced "image button in the toolbar of the TGO message editor.

Any help comments would be appreciated.

So if I put http://i.imgur.com/TBA9msQ.jpg where the "INSERT..." I get the above.

Also make sure very first button on top row is not clicked to toggle BB Code Mode to off, grays out all the options.

Thanks for the replies. Is the "tool bar image" above a popup tool bar within TGO or, more likely, a tool bar on your PC operating system's window. Sorry if this is a lame question but I'm on an Apple computer.

Thanks again.

It's part of the IP Board interface used by the site. Doesn't pop up, should be there all the time.  No idea why you can't see it, not heard of anyone else on a Mac having prob like that. Try "use full editor" button to see if makes a diff, assuming you see that.
 
You can manually insert images by putting img and /img tags (each tag within [ ] brackets, if I do it here it won't show, just calls for an image) before and after URL of image. URL must be in form up http://etcetera

Everyone's comments will help me to get to the bottom of this "mystery".

I mostly log on via an iPad so that now explains a lot. But then when moving over to the Mac a further twist was added. When using my established user name and password to login TGO didn't recognize it using the Mac! : /

I will take everyone's leads and get to the bottom of this; even if I have to re register to TGO using the Mac.

Much appreciated.

You should not have to register again.


I think I will first ditch my current copy of my Safari browser on the Mac and download a fresh copy for starters. Then attempt logging on via my desktop. No log on issues with the iPad. Sooo, I'm sure, as you said, re-registration should be unnecessary. Something likely got corrupted in the danged browser.

Success! Thanks everyone for your solid information.

 

It turns out I may have corrupted my copy of the Safari Web browser perhaps due to my using a hard drive "file cleaning" software program to create some extra disc space. Got to be careful using those.

 

Thanks again!

 

ps - My first photo posting was in the General Chat section whiskey & spirits thread!   :yum:
