RockyAussie Report post Posted July 14, 2017 Sorry for the boring crocodile backstrap pictures I am trying to get them to load into my profile section where I hope to be able to direct people to see them if they wish. I find sometimes when answering a persons topic question that I find it useful to show a picture or series of that sometimes I have probably loaded before. Rather than chew up data space etc I would like to just post these pictures just the once in my albums in my profile section only. Hope this is making some sense and any help with this would be appreciated. Brain Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then copy the URL of the photo you have in your album, and paste into your post. You may have to reduce photo size, but I have noticed that the system allows larger photos in your album than when you post in a thread. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When you go to my profile section across the top there are 3 sections and in the third there is albums. This is where I am trying to post the pictures so that they are visible if people if they care to look there. I am trying to do this so as to not crowd out the gallery section with pics I have posted before in activity threads and some more relevant to how something is made. The aim would be when answering someone's thread that I could refer them to that section rather than chewing up data space repetitively posting pics on LW. I am sorry that I am a complete 1/2 wit with this techy stuff and at the end I guess I could just go ahead and have them all show in the gallery. Thanks again for your help here and for all the help you give to this site as well. Brian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When you go to my profile section across the top there are 3 sections and in the third there is albums. To create a new Album, go to the Top menu bar, Browse, and click on Gallery. This will show a a number of gallery areas. Click the "Add Images" button. Then select a category. A couple of them are "More Leatherwork" and "Tutorials and Lessons" that might be what you are looking for. Select the category. On the left portion of the screen, there is an area to Create a new Album. (On the right side is an area to pick an existing album. You can access existing albums from there later, or from your profile.) Name the album ---- Add a description ----- Set the ownership (place your screen name here "RockyAussie"), privacy and album features you wish. Click the "Create New Album" button. Now you can drag and drop photos (files) from Windows Explorer (if you are using MS Windows, can't tell you for a Mac) or click the "Chose Files" button, which will open a dialog box where you navigate to the folder location and files you wish to load. There is a limit of 100 files. For each photo that is loaded, select the photo and add a name, tags if any, and comments.. Then click the "Save" button. I have just created a new album for test purposed so I could step through this procedure. I'm away from home so do not have access to my photos, so have loaded a few samples off the web. You can navigate to your photos through either the main Gallery, or through your Profile. Since you have created an album, you will now see the album in your profile where you can manage your photos and add more photos. Click on your photo so it displays larger. Right click on the photo and pick "Copy image location" and paste it into the post. It gives you two options. Display as a URL or embed. Pick embed to have the photo displayed rather than just the URL. (It worked!) Tom Edited July 17, 2017 by northmount corrected insert method Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
