Thread: Pic posting Question...

Tweet

When I load a pic to use on a thread it goes into the file as a thumbnail. The problem is that all the thumbnails are squares with a question mark in the square. I cant tell what the pic is of as I dont name each and every pic before up loading. Is there a switch that I can toggle and actually see the thumbnails hense knowing what the thumbnail is of? Also for some reason I cant delete any pics from that file? Or am Missing something?

Thanks for any direction or advice in advance.

When you're in the "Advanced Mode", necessary if you're Managing Attachments, simply hit "Preview Post" (lower right) and you'll see exactly what's going to be on screen. You can then go into the box below the preview, shift things around by highlighting & dragging, or cutting & pasting, then previewing again until you're happy with everything. A word of caution - when you "Preview" don't forget to go back and hit "Submit" or everything will disappear into the Twilight Zone when you refresh your screen.

I cannot explain why there are question marks and not pictures. We've mentioned it before but it seems to get lost to more urgent issues..

And the delete issue is in the same category... There must be a setting somewhere but the mods must need to set it for us. As Roger says, as a work around hit preview.. I never re-use a picture - at least so far - so it hasn't been an issue.
