timboni Posted July 27, 2020 Share #1 Posted July 27, 2020 I have ben attempting to enter into the build log for the Gateway Shipcrafters USS ST LOUIS Civil War Ironclad . When I did so previously (January, 2020), it went smoothly. This time, I entered a number of photos and captions, but when I entered "Submit," it didn't work. When I reviewed my entry, the pictures were in the form of links. And I can't submit even with the links. I don't know if this is a login problem because the website seems to recognize me. I sent an email to Kurt, but haven't heard back, perhaps it's an old email address. Any help would be most appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Posted July 27, 2020 Share #2 Posted July 27, 2020 If you can post this then its not a problem with the forum and posting text. My guess is it has something to do with the images you tried posting. They may have been the wrong format or too large to post. Try and post one here in this topic.....just one picture. See how it goes. Did you upload them here or are you trying to post from a third party hosting site. That could also be a problem. Try uploading a photo and they should appear as an actual photo and not a link. You need to click "choose files" to upload them from your computer below.

timboni Posted July 28, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted July 28, 2020 OK, here we go: The way I had done it is to take a picture from an email sent to me, click on it and right-click on that picture, click Copy Image, then Paste in this forum. Here's an example: Alternately, I guess I could download the picture and copy and paste from that. Here's the same picture in that format: In this format (which I hadn't used before), the picture comes out bigger and takes a bit of time to upload to this format. The image on the left is what showed up when I just clickedabove and entered Paste. The one on the right happened when I clicked Choose Files and then went to my downloads and found this. Look identical, but I may be wrong. So let's see what we got here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timboni Posted July 28, 2020 Author Share #4 Posted July 28, 2020 Well, well, well! Looks like my copying and pasting the original picture from the email ends up as a link, but the download works!

timboni Posted July 29, 2020 Author Share #5 Posted July 29, 2020 Well, well, well! Looks like my copying and pasting the original picture from the email ends up as a link, but the download works! Have now finished loading pictures and captions from May 2019. Many more to come! Thank you for your guidance and patience. Any comment from your end?

James H Posted July 29, 2020 Share #6 Posted July 29, 2020 You can’t copy and paste images from an email as it’ll try and link content on your system and the images will be broken. you need to save the image from your email and then upload to your post. mtaylor and kurtvd19 2 Quote SAY NO TO PIRACY.
