A JUB question I need help with

[Ninja108]

Not sure if this is the right section but I'll ask anyway...how the heck do you upload pictures to posts?
I've gotten several suggestions and none seem to have worked for me. What am I doing wrong?

Where are the pics you want to post?

I've been told my JUB for Dummies sucks as a tutorial thread and it confuses the hell out of people.

JUB definitely isn't user friendly when it comes to attaching to posts.

I couldn't even explain the way I do it, with two different JUB pages open (post page, and settings page), text, upload, post, edit, add IMG ...

It's really not that hard to understand, I figured visuals would help but even that doesn't work.

When the sun turns black, go over the mountains. In the valley, erase the redundant http://

It's showing up. If you right click it, and Copy Link Location you can embed the picture in the post by posting the copied link between the IMG tags.

Okay, I'll try.

Go advanced. A button will be at the bottom saying manage attachments. Click it. A box will pop up with address bars and buttons beside them that say browse. Click the first one. Another pop-up box will appear allowing you to select files from your desktop. If you need to go into a folder for the picture do that in the box. You can burrow down as far as you need to to find the image. Double click the image. It will appear on the first line. Do the same thing on the as many of the lines as you need. (You will probably want to rename the file to something you'll recognize in case you want to re-use it easily.) When you have all your images in the address bars, click the upload button beside the last browse button. Then submit your post. The images will appear as attachments at the bottom of your post.

Click on the image, and it will appear full-size in a new tab. Clck the edit button of your post. Copy and paste the address bar for that tab where you want the image to appear in your post. Put the tags [ img] [ /img] around that address with no spaces. Then save the edit. This last part must be done within twenty minutes of submitting the post with the attachments.

Do not delete the attachment from your list of uploaded attachments. If you do, it will appear nowhere in your post.

You can to the same thing with the bottom address bar to upload a file from another site. Get the url for just the image. You may need to get it into a new tab. Copy the address into the bar and click upload. And so forth.

I hope this helps. If not there's some more troubleshooting we could help you with.

I still direct newbies to the JUB for Dummies - no-one has complained to me! I think you did a great job Brandon, admittedly we've had a few tweaks since you did it, but the basics still apply!

This part of the explanation is especially good, except you get only 5 pics at a time done this way. It says that, so it will be obvious to anyone trying it.

Also, you can repost previously attached pictures without uploading them again. Go to the user control panel, near the bottom, and open the Manage Attachments window. Copy the links you want. They're in date order, so you'll need to remember when you posted them. I wish we could sort or search that list.

It looks like the boy's got it!

Honestly Ninja, if I can figure it out, it really can't be difficult.
