The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Driveline Trying to attach photo

Under FAQ, it says this when trying to attach a photo:

"you'll see a "File Manager" link on the "Full Reply" or "New Post" page. When selecting this option you'll receive a popup which will allow you to attach files to your post".

I don't see a "File Manager" on the Full Reply page.

Any ideas?
Thanks,
James

James,

Here is the Stovebolt.com FAQ page.

I not see a reference to a File Manager page?

Nonetheless, posting a link to a photo at a hosting site is described at a link given at the lower left of this page, in a section that displays "Posting Images in the Stovebolt Forums".

Tim,
On the Stovebolt.comFAQpage

under: About this site

under: How do I use your discussion forums

under: Can I attach a file to my post?

It says:
When creating a new thread or response, you'll see a "File Manager" link on the "Full Reply" or "New Post" page. When selecting this option you'll receive a popup which will allow you to attach files to your post.

Steps:
1. Click "File Manager" to bring up the "Attachment" window.
2. Click "Browse" to bring up the file browser window; this will allow you to browse your computer for any files or images you wish to upload; please note that you're bound by whatever the "allowed file type" setting is for the board.
3. Click "open" on the file you wish to upload.
4. Enter a description of what the file is (if you want to).
5. Click "add file" to add another file, or "done" to close the window and complete your posting.

Please note that you must enter some text in both the "subject" and "post" fields when responding otherwise you will receive an error; you cannot just respond with an attachment .

Tim,
Thanks for the heads up on the posting images information. Any preference on what photo site to use?
James

Heck, I do not even know where to find a "Full Reply" option/page.

Thanks, Apache3600

Nonetheless, we cannot attach photo-files to display the photo in our posts.

We can post a link to a photo - like this.

James,

No advice: I now use DropBox, but they informed me about a week ago, that they will stop hosting-posting images.

I will check Google-Drive (I get it free with no storage limits - a perk from my last job).

Also, Microsoft has an interesting hosting site.

Nonetheless, we cannot display an image here - we can display a link to an image.

I use an image host called Hunt101.com

For instance:

LOL!
