I, too am having trouble with the thread. How do I post my upload to a thread. When I reply I can fill in the title but when it asks for the url I am at a loss.??
Thanks

Hi Ladies I am so sorry that you are having difficulites posting to the gallery. It is very easy if you have uploaded to the gallery and want to post to a forum thread all you have to do is have two windows open to make it easier. Then right click on your layout and if you have a Mac select copy image address and if you have a PC I think it is just copy image?? then in your other open window go to the forum thread where you want to post your layout and click on the the little picture that looks like a mountain with the sun and right click and paste your photo or layout there. If you want to have a link to your photo then go back to your original layout and highlight the url on the top of the page and copy then go to your other open window and click on the the little earth sign and paste the link to your page there. Hope this all makes sense if not then pm me and I will send you screen shots if you need them.

Debby and Helene, are you all set now?

If you are using Windows, when you right-click and image, you will need to copy the image url and then paste that into the box that has the mountain.

Please holler if you need more help.

Thanks

you guys are marvelous -- I have copied the information on how to display a layout in a post and adding the link to your photo. thank you, thank you, for that information.

now, if I may, just one more thing ... creating the link to the product used. I type at the end. When I look back in the gallery ... it shows the product name (which I typed) and rather than [link], the entire [url=...] comes up.

It seems like people are having a good time with the challenges and I love when people post a link to the product ... I want to be one of those "people"

Thanks,
Debby

Debby, I believe in the gallery it will automatically make the [link] for you. You don't have to do the like you do here in the forum. Just copy and paste the url for the item from the shop and I think it will format it for you.

I think I have it all!

Great information ... thank you all so much; all my novice questions have been answered!

Thanks again, Debby
