Ted,
Expediton Portal but they seem to have photo posting figured out. As I recall it is quite simple. Is it possible to have the same set up here?

I'm not Ted, but...I think the funkiness of posting photos on WTW is built into the forum software and so can't be changed without switching to different software. Making a change like that would be a great thing for other reasons, too... but it would require the owners of WTW to spend money that they don't want to spend.
At least, that's how I see it.

beating a dead horse!

it seems to me that when i first signed on to this site it was easier to post pictures (had to be 

as i was able to post) which i no longer do. as someone who spends very little time posting on the internet

trying to remember all the steps to post just is not worth the trouble.

have no trouble with a couple of other sites i follow.

 

with easier ways to post i would wager the usage of this site would increase,every one loves pictures!

 in my own case i got burned out after all the time i spent sharing builds and what i thought might be

ideas others might use,all the pictures i posted vanished,still wonder what happened!

 

wish posting pictures on all sites were as easy as craigslist  is!

 

just my thoughts,yours may differ.

Les,not to beat a dead horse.

My way to attach a photo. I have Mac

 

1.Select the picture from i photo.

2. Click file to go to export.

3.Select "jpeg"if it doesn't show up.

4.I use medium size.

5.Send photo to desk top.

6.On a post select "more reply options" bottom right corner.

7.At bottom left of post find "browse",select that and find the picture you want from desk top.

8.Click on photo than click on attach to post.

 

This is the way I do my photo postings to a post . At medium size you can put about 5 photos on a post at a time.

Hope this works for you.

 

Don't know where your old photo posts have gone but they were useful.

I liked and copied your roof lifter.

Computers can be frustrating. I am no wiz by far. I just luck onto most of what I do.

Try again sometime.

Attached Thumbnails

Frank,thanks for the direction ,now if i can remember i should be ok in the future!

 

now i need to learn how to attach reg. size pictures instead of thumbnails.

 

Les,lqhikers

Congratulations, Les, you did it. Following Frank's directions, which is the easiest way, does create the thumbnail that can be clicked for a larger photo. That works just fine in most cases. Typically if you want to post a regular size photo, it needs to be hosted somewhere else, such as Flickr.

 

Many of us who post lots of trip reports or truck/camper-build photo essays use blogger.com as a platform for our text and photos. It may not be quite as convenient to readers on WtW, but it is much, much easier to post reports with essentially no limitations on the number of photos in one post. (See the link below in my signature for My Travel Blog, for an example.)

Bill,thanks for explaining how to post full size pictures.

i did not know that clicking on photo would enlarge.

 

think i will limit pictures as i posted since i take few pictures anymore.

Les glad it worked out for you.

Posting a picture using the "medium" size will get a bigger one when clicked on in the post.

If I am posting a trip with photos I use the Google blog spot site.

 

It seems to work for me,after some great instructions from Ski.

 

Like you new rig.

Didn't you have one of those "$$$ travel" vans?
