photos in conservations

[Gramps]

How do you place a photo in a conservation? do you have to link to a hosting service?

A conversation? On a thread here? or when texting?

In PMs? Sorry if I am slow. LOL

 

[Mandelon]

I think it is like any other thread. You drag and drop it in the text area.

The pic can be in your computer or phone, or online. Kinda hard to drag and drop on a phone though. If online copy the link and paste it. The small image to the left of the smiley face is the Insert Image tab.

Conversation is PMs, and I don't think you can attach photos in "PMs" they have to be a link

If you are talking DM or PMs you can’t send images. I typically ask for phone numbers in the DM/PM and text to the person.

While we're on the subject for all those following along, posting to someone's profile posting is different than a conversation (PM). A conversation is a private message between you and that person, those people writing messages in someone's profile post, are writing for all to see. It shows up for everyone at the bottom of the "what's new" page.

Gramps, I just started a conversation with you and dragged and dropped a photo. Did it come through?

 

[Mandelon]

Here's a snip of the photo dragged and dropped onto a conversation. I don't know how to do it from a phone. I did this on my desktop with two monitors.

 

[Gramps]

it did!!!! I tried to drag and drop from my desktop and it didn't work

 

[Mandelon]

Do you have two monitors? Or can you minimize the screens and open both at once. Try clicking in a few different spots? My photos are not individually open when I click them, I drag them from the icons.

I did not think that was possible. Am I missing something?

 

[Mandelon]

I think we all are.... LOL

Was the file saved on your hard-drive?

 

[Mandelon]

that was off the internet, but I can try one from my hard drive and see...

 

[Mandelon]

OK, I tried to send one to you, but I get the red circle slash symbol. So that does not appear to work. I guess you need the images hosted somewhere to do it.

 

[Mandelon]

Icky, I dragged and dropped an image from my google photos into a message to you. See if that worked.

I think RD needs to talk to the Russians and have an "add a photo" option to pm's

Depends on what your trying to conserve.

I brought this up to RD once. He said that he can add a photo, just like on the general forum.

I asked him because a hunting site I use had the same exact software and you can post an image in a PM, same as in the forum.

So I’m sure it’s possible, just a permission button needs clicked someplace
