How To Add A Photo On The Message Board

Post by Rachel Kent »

Here's a quick tutorial of how to add a photo here on the message board! 

First off, you'll need to be logged in and submit your photo into the gallery

Then right click on the photo you want, and select "copy image address".


Image


Then click into the thread on the message board you want, and click the "post reply" button. You'll see it at the top and bottom of the page.


Image


This is where you can write a reply. To add your image, look for the little image square button and click on that.


Image


A little box will pop up, and then you will paste your image link there. Either right click and select "paste", or use control + v (or command + v) on your keyboard. Click the ok button.


Image


And there you go! Add any text you need, and click submit on the bottom and it will be posted to that thread.


Image



If you are on a phone or tablet - the directions are mostly the same. In order to get that image link though, you'll need to tap the image first, then tap & hold to get your options. There should be a copy option. Then you'll paste in the message board using the same image box.

Hope this helps! If you have any questions please ask! :)

Thank you for adding this! I also forget how to add photos and struggle for an hour to figure it out.

A couple of the challenges say to "check box for challenge when you enter for prize" - what box is this?

You got to the Project Gallery, under “Inspiration”.   On the left it will say “Submit”. When you are done filling that all out, there is a part that is underlined that says “add submission to contests/challenges”.  That is where you check the box.  I hope this answers your question!

Sorry for the trouble! You should be able to do the same thing with copy and paste. I just tried on my phone and this is what I did:
Went to the photo in my gallery, clicked on it to enlarge. Then held down to get the options. Chose copy. Then go to the thread, click reply, click the blue photo icon on top, then paste in there. Should work the same! Hope this helps!
