On the create a post or topic page.

1. Click "Attachments and other options".

2. Place curser in the location in post that you want the picture to appear.

3. Click "Choose File" .

4. Choose and click to open the picture you want from your computer. The picture file info should pop into the choose file box on FOG.

5. Use the drop down that is adjacent to the "Choose File" box to choose insertion type that you want. Probably "In line Full Size Image". A bracketed "Attach Img.." will pop into the post.

6. Reposition curser to locate the next picture in post.

7. Repeat #3 - #6 for each picture. Put each picture in a separate Choose File box. Add more Choose File boxes as needed by clicking more attachments under the Choose File box.

Note --- pictures that are very large may appear rotated or may be too large for the system and cause other anomalies. If this happens resize to a smaller size.

Another short easy picture insertion tutorial.

I'll believe this actually worked when I see the post. But so far so good.I did not have a browse option. It said choose file which took me a while to figure out.

Thank you very much for this post. This is the first time in over seven years that I have been able to post a photo. Shane once spend some time with me, but by the time I got home I still couldn't make it work. Some problem, such as the browse/chose file, would bring me to a screeching halt.
Again, thank you very much.

Maybe "Choose File" appears instead of "Browse" on some operating systems? Not sure. I'm on Windows 8. Not sure what appears on mobile devices either.

Let's see if this works...

This method does not work on Safari on a Mac. The only way I can get an inline image is to use the inserting# tag.

With 'Insert as full size images', frequently after you edit the text the image will appear to have disappeared after you save.

And instead you get the message 'attachimg=1' in brackets in your post.

If this happens, refresh the page.

This experience is based on IPad and Safari.

from a newbie FOG member the tutorial is really appreciated - thank you.
On the other end: how can I easily enlarge a thumbnail picture in a post without having to save it and enlarge it off-line?

Try clicking on it and see if it will enlarge.

I'm was uploading a 4mb Jpeg picture but I kept getting this error:

"Your attachment couldn't be saved. This might happen because it took too long to upload or the file is bigger than the server will allow.

Please consult your server administrator for more information."

Can anyone tell me what is this error?

Yeah, a software tech is definitely on this site. Not working on MAC or safari is cutting half the market out. I didn't know anybody still uses windows. teehee.

The new HEIC image format is difficult to use as well.

I prefer to link directly to either of my image hosting sites (Flickr and Smugmug) and not bother with uploads. This way I have control over the display size and position within the text.

Oso Rojo · « **Reply #23 on:** May 18, 2021, 08:57 PM »

What is the max file size to upload? The page says 10M per picture and 40M total. I'm having a terrible time uploading images and I can't figure out why. I have two images that are 4.5M while I think should be OK.

Peter Halle · « **Reply #24 on:** May 18, 2021, 09:04 PM »

If you are trying to insert that size files you are doomed for failure. That file size is useless on the internet. You need to reduce the size hugely thru your software. The limits posted are not accurate. Reducing down to 1mb would be my suggestion.
