Thumbnail help
 

Can someone please walk me through how to add a thumbnail to a post? I want to add something that's not in my gallery. Thanks so much!

when you hit reply or start a thread, there is a box below the dialog box that says manage attachments. Click that and it will guide you from there similar to adding something to your gallery.

just testing...

but i don't see anything here!

nope didn't work!

don't mean to hi-jack but trying again...

nope! didn't work again.

i give up...

i am just an old dog! and i don't learn new tricks very well.

I got that part, how do you attach it to your post!

Okay, this is me tryin'
 

Did it work??

Obviously not.

How 'bout now?
 

Did it work this time? Huh? Huh?

Oh joy! Oh rapture! It was totally easy too. For those of you having trouble, don't forget to hit "upload". That was my mistake the first time.

Gonna try one more to make sure it wasn't a fluke, LOL!

I hope someone out there can answer me...I have read this entire thread and I do not have a box below the dialog box that says "manage attachments" at all. In the gray area list that is on the left side of my screen, there is a bold word that says "attachments" but when I click on it, it says Twinstamper does not have any attachments????? I have no clue, but I really need to be able to post a thumbnail in my private message. I've had several requests for a template and instructions on one of my gallery items and I don't know how to give it to them. Thanks somuch!

Are you clicking on the "go advanced" button instead of "post quick reply? It is under that one

Testing.

Hello, Melissa --

As far as I know, there is no current way to attach files to a Private Message. That's why you are not seeing the Manage Attachments option in the Send New Private Message window.

That link in the left column that you mentioned for "Attachments" is to manage the files that you have attached to your forum posts, not your Private Messages.

If you want to freely distribute your template, you can post it to one of the Downloads forums and then direct people to find it there. Here's a link to the Templates forum: http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...play.php?f=143
In that forum, you will be able to start a new thread and attach files to your post.

You could also post the template in the Download Forum under the Template section and direct people their from your gallery picture. Here is the link to the template section:http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...play.php?f=143
HTH??!

I am trying to learn how to do this too.

Looks like you know how to do it too me! :)

Oh my gosh - my apologies for missing this thread!!!


Twinstamper did you get it figured out? You can do one of three things:


* Hit the paperclip to attach a file
*scroll down to see "manage attachments" below the "submit reply" button, or hit "go advanced" and then see it.
*If the image is hosted on another URL like your blog - hit the photo icon (looks like a mountain with a yellow background and a moon) and then add the DIRECT URL of the image in the box that comes up. That inserts it into the body of the post like this:
