Posting pictures

[Joe G.]

Steve,



I have and others have run into a catch 22 situation with uploading pictures to a post. If I attempt to upload the same picture for some other post I get a message that says that the picture has already been uploaded so I can't upload it again. This happens even if I delete the previous post with the picture. The message does not say how to access the uploaded picture so I'm stuck in a catch 22 situation that prevents me from using the picture. Am I missing something?



Thanks,

Joe, can you change the title of the picture and use it again? Just curious.

I haven't tried that. Another guy tells me he did and it didn't work. It still refused to upload the pictures even with different names.

Go to your user control panel and then on the bottom left you'll see a link for attachments. Click on that and then find the image you want to use. Right click on the filename and click on copy link location. Then go to the post you want the image in and type in {img} except with [ and ] in place of the { and } hit CTRL-V on your keyboard to paste the image location and then type {/img} except with [ and ] in place of the { and } . Hit post reply and it'll be there.

Thanks Steve,



Could you put your reply in the FAQ?

I did that, Steve, and it says I have no attachments. Yet when I try to repost them, I get an upload error that they already/still exist. Renaming their files on my computer first doesn't help, either.

It was because you deleted the post that the pictures were in and this version of vB just tags them for deletion but us moderators can still see it therefore the pictures were still out there. I undeleted the post for you so you can do what you want with it now. Here's the post with the pictures in it - https://www.turbodieselregister.com/forums/1808848-post12.html . They should show up on your attachments list now.

Steve, Thanks for this help. I have a problem also. My pictures are to big. When I try to download them, the manager says to manually resize them. Not being a computer guru, I havent the foggiest idea of how to accomplish this feat:{. GregH
