We’ll, this is my 2nd account here. 1st 1 was fluffy bunnies. Because I used to raise angora rabbits & have more angora fiber than I could spin in a lifetime. Since I could not recover my 1st account, I just went with something similar.

Some years ago I had a similar problem. I couldn’t log in, maybe had lost my password. I’m not sure now. I created a new account, posted about the problem, and it got fixed. I went back to being GrumpyGramma and raising eyebrows over my choice of username. If my browser loses my password for some reason I guess I’ll try the same thing again.

Hi there - I would like to post of photo of the different gifts I made and gave out to the War Widows at our Christmas Party in December - you gave me advice on different ideas - can you guide me through the procedure - I have the photo on my mobile phone at the moment - Cheers
I’d best leave this to someone else. I only know how to do it once I get the photo to my laptop.
Press reply like you normally would to make a new post. Right above your keyboard there is an icon of a photo. Click on that, you will need to find where the photo is on your phone. Generally you will look in your files, a photo app or a gallery app depending on which pho e you have. O ce you have found the photo, click on it and choose “done”. You will see it uploading and once it’s uploaded you can post your reply and the photo will appear.

Uploading a pic is different for me than snowball’s reply so I thought I’d add my way in case it helps.
Click reply as usual.
The reply box where you text appears has a row of icons above it. One of those is a rectangle like a picture frame with a little mountain in it (on mine it is 7 from the left). Click that.
Then navigate to your photo.
Then done.

I have tried as you both have instructed me BUT I don’t know what to do when I go to the photo in Gallery - I certainly need your help and when I finally get it organised I will take notes for the future !!! Cheers
When I click on the “picture frame” it takes me into my camera - and I cannot get into gallery to fid the photo - Cheers
What phone do you have? It may also be easier to do from your computer. Could you get the picture from your phone to the computer?

Yes I have it on the computer - thank you for your help -
Ah. I know how I do it on my computer when the photo is on my computer. Look at the icons at the top of the reply box. The 7th from the left looks like a picture you could hang on the wall; click that.
A popup happens. Choose from my device and click Browse. That should take you to a list of files. Pick the one want which might involve a bit of looking around, then click upload. Your picture should be visible in preview on the left. I’m not sure how the drag and drop thing works and have never used it
It’s also possible to right click on an image, copy it, then paste it here. I just stole the logo from the top of the page that way.
When you click the picture frame does it go instantly to camera or is there a menu which has a “choose file” button?
I get “choose file” and when I click this I get a new window with a camera icon and a file/folder icon. I click the folder and from there I navigate to wherever on my device the photo is stored.
If you do not get this option, sorry, not sure.
But hopefully from the various replies one of these routes will get you there.

Hi - I have followed your computer instructions but I have a HP computer with Microsoft 2007 does that make a difference to the one you have - when I go into the photo reply box doesn’t have the icons as you have on yours - maybe I should just forget about it - the next step I guess would be to post it onto the Forum and I would need help for that as well -
Thank you to GrumpyGramma - Snowball and Creations for all your help - Cheers Kaye
The type of computer you have shouldn’t matter I think. Your operating system (MS) and browser might make things different than on my computer. I use a Linux OS. I’ve not used MS on my computer in over twelve years. I access the forum with Firefox. What differences that might make vs your system I don’t know.

Thanks for getting back to me - I am still hoping someone can help me as I’m very keen to show you the pleasure I had making the gifts for the War Widows and will continue to do so - am still thinking of small gifts I can knit for them - Cheers
I’ve asked the IT expert at the forum and will let you know when I hear back. In some cases the icon at the top of the Reply box is a portrait rather than the landscape icon. Can you hover over each icon until a description of the icon appears? The description should be “upload.”

Ooh another Linux user here (although I only access this forum on a tablet which is a different OS). Love Linux 
@AUSSIE5 I hope you get the help you need from the IT expert.
Another thing you could try is to open your photo on your computer, right click your mouse on the image and “copy image”, then open the forum and a reply box and right click your mouse to find paste (copy and paste options are often available on a tool bar at the top of a window inside the word “edit” too but it does depend how you have your windows set up).
On another thread I just copied an image from the Internet and pasted it in a message for example.
