Pictures in wrong order

[Tomasz B]

Hi 👋

I am trying to solve my issue with pictures order on my very first post ,

doesn't matter i upload the pictures 1 after 1 or in bulk they are uploading in order they want.

Already edited few times with no success.

Maybe i should delete all those pictures from first post and upload them again 🤔...

Any suggestions very welcome

Hello Thomasz,

I just experienced the same. Strange!?

When you upload the photos, you still need to click in your post where you want a specific photo(s), then click on the uploaded image to insert into that position.

I upload photos one at at time. As James says, I place the cursor where I want the first pic to go, then put the cursor a couple of lines below the first pic (to leave room for text), then click on the next pic to be inserted and so on.

 

I have to say that sometimes I end up with a couple of unwanted repeat pics at the end, under my post. Not sure why that happens, and I can't seem to delete them. But it's not a showstopper.

Any pictures which remain at the end of a post are ones that were uploaded and not inserted elsewhere in the post.

The system just dumps them at the end instead of not using them.

James,

 

They seem to be duplicates of pics already appearing in the post. It may well be finger trouble of my part although I have tried to be very careful in clicking only once on each pic from the collection of pics below the post.

 

Ah, you said 'uploaded'...maybe I was uploading some extra pics (eg same looking but different resolutions) to the website?  So any pic that gets 'uploaded' will be inserted in the post - clicking on a pic from the collection of pics underneath the post only selects the order in which the pics appear. And any unclicked pics, when I Save the post, get automatically added underneath the post.

 

Hmm... that might explain it.

Thx ,do i have to save it after each picture and edit again over  and over? 

[Tomasz B]

Well basically i started this build vlog just after i started rigging ratlines so my first post have about 60 pictures in it - quite a lot 😅 so that pictures are different size as well from 1600 up to 5000 width so maybe that's the case...

I will keep trying .maybe  my web browser don't work properly. 

[Tomasz B]

Finally sorted out 👌

So the problem was microsoft edge web browser, when i tried editing did not have cursor anywhere in post to place pictures where i want them for some reason 🤔so got chrome now and works just  fine 😊....

Looks like web browser sometimes have a bad days as well 😅🤣😂😆

All sorted now thanks good people for suggestions.

[mtaylor]

I'm glad you got it solved.   I've seen problems like this but transient in nature.   A restart of the browser or even a re-boot usually (but not always) fixes them.

Tomas,

I use Edge browser exclusively (don't even have any other browser installed) and I have never had any issues with uploading pictures.

I do my editing with ACDsee, and saving edited pictures in a separate folder not together with original.

#11 "...did not have cursor anywhere in post to place pictures"

 

Yes, you must place the mouse cursor in the post field where you want a pic to appear. 

 

So... position cursor>insert first pic> cursor positioned below first pic> insert second pic> cursor positioned below second pic etc ect.

 

Of course you could upload all the pics to the initial cursor position and then add carriage Returns between each pic to make space for text entries. Either way is fine.

 

I use Firefox v86.

I don't know if this will help anyone, I have got in the habit of just opening a folder  nearby where my pictures reside and just dragging and dropping my images to the current cursor position, rather than choosing and uploading pictures.  Here is a little video that shows how I created the post that follows.

 

 

 

Then I drag another after moving my cursor to a new line...

 

And another..  

 

 

 

 

Now I continue typing my text and pictures are where I want them to be..

 

I can also go to the " Uploaded images " area and click on the trash can if I want to delete an image..

If I put an image in the wrong place, or want a different image, I just delete it with the trash can.  Put my cursor where I want the new image, and drag the image to the cursor position.

Yes, finally i was able to do exactly this way (easiest way imo) as you did with chrome ,i couldn't with edge...

By the way your tutorial looks really good and easy, i think your post could be placed in tips and helps for new members ....

Not so strange to me.  I run 3 browsers.... Edge, Chrome, and Firefox and occasionally one of them just goes weird.  Probably from "silent" updates which the software makers now do a lot.   A day or two later and all is well again.  But then I'm a slacker and run Win 7 for the same reason as MS loves to run updates and kill your OS in Win10 for hours at a time.
