Is anybody else having trouble cutting & pasting from the gallery into the challenge threads? I haven't been able to update the challenge threads all day. (??)

I just did without any trouble. At the risk of sounding like every IT geek everywhere - did you reboot? If cut and paste doesn't work is it likely your local clipboard (that is - your system). If you tried and it didn't help, I dunno.

LOL - it's usually the answer! But I did reboot last night and this morning and still can't cut & paste...wahhh!!! My system is so old. We really need a new computer. But I don't know why it just suddenly won't let me do this

Not sure what you mean by cutting and pasting?  When I post from the gallery to the threads, I right click and copy the image link and add it to the picture icon.

Wait, what? lol? I'll try that. What I have been doing is right clicking the pic and then go into the thread and right click again and paste. But nothing to do with the image link. Frankly, I didn't know any other way but like Word-like cut & paste LOL!

Hmmm, no that just gave me a link?

go to the gallery and the page with your image.  right click on the image and choose "copy image address"  

in the reply box, there is a little square with what looks like a mountain/sun scene (left of the smiley)--click on this and in the spot that says URL, paste your image link

hit ok and boom, you should see your image.  if you also want to link it to the gallery, right click the address bar in the gallery (the page where your image has come from, not the front page of the gallery) and hit copy.  back in your reply box, click on the image to highlight it then choose the little chainlink icon (right beside the image one).  paste your link into the URL box and hit ok.  i always always then hit preview, rather than submit, to see if my link has worked (click on your image and it should take you to that page in the gallery or wherever) but that's just my anxiety lol.  hopefully this helps!

Anne-Marie, go to the gallery and open your gallery album.  Click on the photo you want to post in the thread.  When it opens, right click on it, and "copy image link".  Come back to the forum thread post, click on the photo image at the top and paste the URL from image link and save.  This should post a photo of your project.  If you want just a small photo, go to your gallery album and click on the smaller photo there, copy the image link and do the same thing.  It will save the small photo.  I use this when I am saving a lot of photos in one post.

Hitting the little image thingy was what I wasn't doing. I use my desktop (windows) and would just copy the photo (not link) and then paste it in the thread. Because I'm very low-tech lol. Not sure why it stopped working but I knew I could count on my Cherries to help figure it out! Thanks!

We ARE twins LOL! I never use my phone because I still use a digital camera to take pics of my layouts. Very low-tech haha. I just have a PC desktop. DD has a Macbook but I don't even go near that ROFL. We HAVE to get a new computer before Oct of this year. Microsoft is going to stop supporting Windows 10 and this system can't support Windows 11 so....we don't so much buy new things as we run the old things into the ground until we have to get a new whatever! And I definitely need a new computer to do my work.

Glad you figured it out.  Remember you can add small photos too but just going to the entire album page, right clicking on the photo you want and bringing it back to the forum the same way as the larger photo.  Great for posts with a lot of photos rather than using so much room.  I use this for the prompt challenges, goals, etc.

Thanks for the tip! I need to update my prompt post so that's good to know.

Lol we are SO twins! I use my phone's for everything, but will NEED a new one at some point this year! I have a love/hate relationship with technology!
