Christian Photographers Community

OK....
Maybe my memory is failing me, but every time I come back to this site to post a photo (I know I don't come often enough, my apologies), I can't remember how to post.  It seems that you have to either upload from your gallery or from a site like photobucket.  Well, I don't have a photobucket account, and really have no reason to open one...and I can never FIND my gallery on here to post photos TO!  I am so frustrated.  Can't a person just upload an image directly from their computer files?  This would be so much easier for me.  I can remember why I don't post here very often, because I run into this every time.  I wish this site could be a bit more user-friendly when it comes to posting photos!
Thanks in advance for any help

Ok, nevermind.....I figured it out.  Kinda lol.  I found my gallery.  Saw that TINY link that says "Your Album".  So I was able to upload an image to my gallery and then post my image in the forum.  Still, I wish there was a way to just post an image file directly from my computer without having to post it to the gallery 1st.  Isn't there only so much space for images in the galleries?
Sorry...I guess I just need to come here more often so I know what to do lol.

Kelly, you can post images directly from your computer by using the "Attach" feature - which is hidden under "Additional Options".  Once you have navigated to the photo you want to post, go up above the little icons to the drop down menu and click on "inline fullsize attachment".  (Of course, you need to have the photo resized on your computer to the limits of this site, before you go looking for it.    )  If you need any help, let me know.

I gave up a couple years ago, I am going to try again now that I know just a little bit more about computers! LOL
CapturedByGrace, I love that screen name! I use it on another site. Have you read the book by that name?

Jeanne,  do you think Christianphotographers.com will ever increase the 175 limit to the posting size?   I struggle to get my pictures small enough to post on the forum challenges.   Thanks for considering it.   Darcy

Darcy, that's a decision that is entirely up to Pat, the site owner.  The constraints are necessary because of the limited bandwidth that's available.

That's an easy enough fix. Just take smaller photos.       OK, I'm sorry Darcy, I just couldn't resist. By the way, I love the shots you post regardless of size limitations. Please don't stop.

OK....
Maybe my memory is failing me, but..................

 You must be much older than you appear cuz memory is the first thing to go.(I think)   Wow, I'm on a roll tonight! I'd better log off before I get in trouble. Let's see now.........where is that button.......?  

 

Jim you are too funny....

O.K. Jim I won't stop taking them because you've encouraged me to press on.   Photobucket has quickly become a friend, so posting is easier!
