Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Can someone explain to me how the heck I can get pics onto a message? I went to the "toys & tools" area on this site that explains it, but I don't know about code or HTML or the other stuff. I used to put pictures on a free website and then paste the URL from the specific pics I had there, but that site no longer exists. I tried going to the "Photo Gallery" on this site, but when I tried to upload a picture from my PC, all I got was a window with one of those annoying red X's. Thanks in advance for any "easy to understand" instructions

were you able to get one into the gallery?

if you already have one in the KS gallery you should be able to post it in the body of a message.

In the message edit window scroll all the way down and you will see "Select Image from Photo Gallery" click on the arrow and choose your photo.

Another way is to go to the gallery
***bring up your photo
***right click on it
***choose "properties"
*** “hi-lite” address/URL
***right click
*** choose copy
***go to message body back here
***type what I put in bold except without the quotes:

""

but the first way is a lot easier! If you want to post more than one photo in the same message you need to do it the second way.

as white box with a red X >. Everything else was perfet...title, caption, info, my screen name, etc. but the picture was not viewable in the Gallery

Was your photo a jpg file? Any other formats will not upload.

Kingsnake seems to have added a feature very recently, where you can merely select an image from the Photo Gallery without having to cut and paste the link in the Message body. Just scroll past the Message window and you will see a box entitled "Select Image from Photo Gallery," below the Link URL, Link TItle and Image URL boxes. It's pretty cool.

Hope this helps!

...did you have any problems when you were uploading? Make sure it is a jpeg file (will have extension of .jpg). Try deleting it from the gallery and uploading it again. You can then post it into the message body as I explained in previous reply.

If you still have problems getting it uploaded into the gallery then you need to contact KS support.

I know this can be frustrating at times! :-/

Thanks for the help, everyone! The pic was a .jpg but maybe it was too large, because it finally worked after I cropped the shot and saved it again.
