How do I upload pictures from my PC to the Tenerife Forum gallery?

[Margaretta]

I have photos on my Windows Vista Laptop PC in the file 'Pictures'. How do I upload them to the gallery? There seems to be no facility to do this. Similarly, I wanted to put one of my photos with a post and even though it was a thumbnail a 'URL??????' was wanted.

Could there please be a very simple, idiot-proof (for me) facility to upload photos for the gallery and to enliven a post?
Many thanks....if and when you have time.
Thank you.

Hi Margaretta. Go to "Albums", when it opens name your album and give it a description. Hit the "Save changes" button at the bottom. This will open a new box, hit "Upload photos", and that will open your "Manage Attachments" box, allowing you to upload photos from your computer.:)

Edit: To get past the "URL" only box, click on "Go Advanced" when you reply and use the paperclip icon. This will also open your "Manage Attachments" box.

Hi Margaretta..
I think You need more Posts under Your Belt to qualify Album Status.
Its not a great Lot as I have just managed to get one on myself.
Hope this helps.....

Thank you Harmonicaman....that was very clear.
Warbey....I've just laughed out loud......OK I know you mean on the CURRENT Forum.:crylaughing: I've never been thought of as a rare contributor although it is probably wished that I were....:pray::fryingpan:;)

Thing is, have You managed it yet..?

Glad to see You back.

Not yet....I'm pacing myself to follow Harmonicaman's instructions VERY SLOWLY........:p:doh::reading::eek: (Or do you mean: have I managed to be a rare contributor?:lol:)

Thanks for the good wishes; retired now and it's very odd after nearly 40 years of work!!
