Attachment issues

Ok thanks

When you click on “Attach files”. It would be nice if it gave you the option of selecting from your existing attachments. Maybe that is part of the long term solution?

You have that option. All you have to do is go into your attachments and select the one you want to show in your new post.

Attach means you are uploading a new file. Literally attaching the file itself to the post. Once it is attached to a post it stays attached to that same post. If you link to it in another post, it is still attached to the original post, but the new post is linking to that location.

I just tried to do it on my phone, in case that is how you're doing it, and couldn't find attachments. But under your profile, "Images" brings you to the same list. The only possible difficulty is going through pages of images to find the one you want to post.

So yes. Just like that.

Instructions to use Imgur app on iPhone and posting here without imgur banners.

In the Imgur app on iPhone I picked a video or image to share, pressed and held on video till I got a pop up, chose “copy link”, came to forum post and tapped on the icon to post image, choose from a link, pasted in link, and get error that it can’t be posted from there.

But if I type the
Code: 
[IMG] [/IMG]
Commands manually (where IMG goes inside the brackets etc) and I paste the link from the app in between the start and end IMG commands, then the image posts correctly ON IPHONE as below.

Thanks for helping me.

I found the attachments no problem. When I cut and paste the link. Just words show in my post. But if I click them the picture opens.

See my post above in this thread number 158.

Did you put the
Code: 
[IMG][/IMG]
IN FRONT AND BEHIND THE LINK?
 
He used "URL", not "IMG"
 
Don't know what to tell you Bob. It shows up for me. Did it only show as "view" for anyone else? Anyone know why?

rjdankert rjdankert you using a VPN? Turn it off and see if you can see the pics.
 
Spark Spark - For those of us who are inclined to delete just because 10 year old images of sale knives, GAW or trade knives are really not useful - can we get some help with deleting the images from CLOSED THREADS? I have at least 50 - likely twice as many - that I am locked out of the option to delete. Thank you.
