McFlyLures 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2016 I am not a beginner fly tier, just a newbie to the forum. I was trying to upload a few pictures, but it keeps saying "files are not allowed" They are jpgs and only 150kb. Is there a trick to this that I am missing?

FlaFly 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2016 Not sure how you're doing it. When you create a post click on the "More Reply Options" button (lower right). That will send you to a new form, at the bottom of which you can select photos from your computer files to attach. The picture files need to be actually in your computer to do it this way. There are some other ways that some folks use, but I don't know how to do them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philly 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2016 It's fairly easy. Choose "More Reply Options" Click on "Choose File" Select the file you want to attach. Click on "Open" The file name should appear next to the "Choose File" box. Click on "Attach This File" It should appear below the reply box. Click on "Add to Post" Just make sure your cursor is where you want the picture. I like it because I can add a picture right from my computer. I don't have to create a "gallery" or store my pictures on another site. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dave G. 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2016 Not sure about here but at some forums/ sites etc.new users have to wait a certain period of time to gain the advantages of added features ( usually a day or two) then they can post. It's a measure I suppose to make sure it's not just spam coming in. Like I said , not sure that is the case here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FlaFly 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2016 Mc... I think it's more likely to require a certain number of posts than a certain amount of time. I know I was listed as a bait-fisherman (beginner) until I had posted 40 times. Keep talking to us and use up your quota. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bruce Norikane 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2016 I wonder, this could be related to the recent database troubles in the forum. I've never heard of new members having this restriction. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cold 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2016 To upload images, your best bet (for any site, not just this one) is to use a free image hosting service and hotlink. I prefer Imgur, but there are many others. You just go to their site, choose to upload, pick the file from your computer, and you're good to go. Once the image is uploaded, get its URL and paste it in your post, with appropriate tagging. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
