Would like to know if anybody would have information on this , and maybe age , thank you so much for

i cant post pic, why?

 

Hi Paolo!

Welcome to Antiquers.........

One reason could be that your files are too large. If you are using your phone, email them to yourself choosing medium, then post FULL IMAGE here.

Don't worry.....you're not the first to have a problem.

 

I'm downloading it from my computer, but it asks me for URL information, and it doesn't direct me to my photo folder. I don't know why he doesn't recognize it? What could I do?

 

Well, I'm afraid you've got me there. You will need help from a savvy member.

You are using the Upload a file button on the posting page?

 

If they are stored say in "pictures", you cannot then choose that picture and upload here?

 

now i cant post nothing, is very complicaded this page. why?? i need gavatar for my email. i did, n continue cant post, just error, error error. i dont know why????

 

I'm so sorry......I can feel & appreciate your frustration, but there are members here who will be able to help you.....

Please hold on and don't give up....they will be along.............

 

Welcome Paolo. I am not computer savvy, but others will be along to help.
In the meantime, maybe this info will help:

Excellent, sabre. But Paolo will have to start a new thread in a different (selected) forum first.

 

Excellent assistance.

 

Paolo......IF you still have trouble....KEEP ASKING!!!! We'll help you get it straightened out!!!! Sometimes new users can have a lot of trouble getting started...you are NOT alone or the first!!!!! BE SURE THE PICTURE YOU WANT TO UPLOAD IS UNDER 1 MB ALSO!!!!!

 

Don't want to overcomplicate things, but I always use the lazy person's option of right clicking on a photo and copying it in the thread.

 

I don't think you're overcomplicating, just adding a shortcut method to adding a photo from the web into a post (instead of copying the URL to the image and selecting the little landscape icon above).

You can do that with a web photo/image because it copies the address of the image along with the visual, but obviously, this won't work for a photo from your local file system (what a security hole that would be!).

 

I also do it with my own photos.

 

You can copy a photo (.jpg, .png, etc) on your local computer and paste it in this box? I cannot do that.

 

neither can I no matter how exuberantly I try..

 

Nope, not here, davey. Can you please explain the process? For example, I am right-clicking a JPEG file in my local folder (windows 7 professional), and selecting copy, then come here to the post text box, and pasting.
