Can someone please explain how to post a photo again please?
It needs to be uploaded to your freight shed, from there open the pic and right click on it > then Save the location of the pic and paste that into the box that the mountain/moon icon opens. Click ok and after the pic opens use the Enter key to move your cursor from beside the pic to just below it. Back spacing your text can remove the pic if it’s in line too. I’ve done that by accident.

I usually open 2 tabs, one with the post and the other with the pics. Then if I don’t get it right, the link is only a tab away. Also helps to speed it up when adding more than one pic.

Bob,
There’s a quick-and-dirty way to post a pic. If you use the “Reply” link at the top of the thread [not the Quick Reply box at the bottom,] you get the full editor, and at the bottom you’ll get both a “Post” button AND a “Manage Photo” button. Click the Manage photo and then ‘add photo’ to select one from your computer. Click Attach Photo at the bottom and then “Finish” and you’ll get an attached photo - like this one below.
(It takes a lot longer to explain than to do.)
The down side is that you don’t have the photo stored where you can re-use it. I usually do like John and store photos in my Freight Sheds, using different folders for different topics. (You can’t move them after you use them, or the thread will be lost, so get organized first!)
Finally, the Albums are pretty useful and don’t seem to count towards your “free” freight sheds. I have a few of them too. Load in some photos, right click and copy the image location, then paste it into the box that opens when you click the mountain icon.
Tried it both ways and still nothing. Oh well.
Bob, you already have 2 albums, why not go there and play a bit?
Also, isn’t there a sticky on using albums somewhere?

Bob, I see that you already have an album and I assume that you want to post from there.
Open a second browser and go to the LargeScale Central web site.
Click on Albums Home
Click on My Albums
Click on the album (high lighted in blue) that you want to post pictures from
Click Manage Photos
Find the photo that you want and put your cursor arrow on it
“Right Click” on that photo
Click on “Copy image address”
Go back into the first browser in LargeScale Central into the message where you want to post the photo
Click on the icon of the box with the mountain and sun (insert/edit image)
Go into the blue box called “Source”
“Right Click” and select “Paste”
Click “OK” and the image appears in your message.
There are slight variations on this (e.g., Copy image instead of Copy image address) that result in different image sizes/resolutions in your message, but this should work for you.
Note that doing this may require that you re-login to LargeScale Central when you later return as it often does for me.
Todd, he figured it out yesterday… and your way seems harder …
John
It would be nice to understand what the issue was, so in the future we can offer a “faster solution”.
