Hi Les,

You may have noticed from an earlier message I submitted, that I don't know how to attach an image to a message - I am sure I have seen you do it. If not, you can maybe ignore the rest of this message - but you might know the answer anyway.

When I wanted to attach a screen capture to the message the only option I could see was "Related Image", pre-populated with "https://" (obviously expecting a web address). My image is on the computer. I tried overwriting the "https://" bit and putting in the full address of my image, but that doesn't work.

Is there a way, that you know of, of including one or (preferably) more images with a TP message board post?

Regards,

Ian Marr

(who appreciates that TP seems to be responding faster now - but how long will that last?)

Hi Ian, I assume you mean to FORUM.

Just go to your photo Album and select te Photograph. Right click and select COPY PHOTO ADDRESS.

At the bottom of FORUM entry it has Related Image .

Now Ctrl V in there

All the best

Thanks Les,

I think you are confirming what I thought - the image must already exist within TP (or, I guess, somewhere on the web).

What I want to do is to simply attach a file (image) that exists on my computer. For example, I may want to include a screen shot when I send a message to the Forum.

I guess I'll have to upload the image to TP first and then attach it from there, then go back later and delete the now unwanted image (although that would probably create a broken link from that time onward - so I would be stuck with having one or more superfluous files on TP).

Regards,

Ian Marr

Hi Ian that is what I do. And then Delete if needed to.

I have a Folder on my Photograph Albums marked Test so I upload to there, so I am not unduly worried, as they are for the FORUM

Hi Ian, meant to mention that this works for the Web ad TP.

If you have them on your PC you will have to upload to the web such as TP Albums.

All the best

Thanks Les,

I will create a folder called "Forum" in TP and use that as an intermediary when I want to attach something to a message.
