Tech: Image Issues

Hi @Former-Member and everyone,

Seems like there are a few problems with images on the forum. Thought I'd start this thread to give information about them in one place. Here are ones that I am noticing:

messages with images are still not coming through in email notifications (this problem has been going on probably for a couple of months now).

when I upload images they all go into my 'profile' folder, even when I select my 'hidden' folder from the drop-down menu at the top right of the screen at the time of the upload (happening on both my PC and my android mobile). I have then had to dig around in the folder options for a while to find how to move the images to my 'hidden' folder. The image upload part of the forum has always been rather user unfriendly, I think. Would be great if this could be streamlined and improved over time somehow.

Thanks for any help you and the tech department can give.

Hi @CheerBear. I used to be able to select 'request desktop site' on my phone and get it. Now when I do that it just loads the mobile version still which I thought I understood why. I’m on iPhone. iPad runs desktop version.

I must admit I haven’t tried for ages using albums. I’ll just try now.

Re: Tech: Image Issues

Actually I have been using my albums to post pics @CheerBear lots (you’ve been a recipient of many 😄) but I haven’t tried adding new ones.

Re: Tech: Image Issues

Haha - I have noticed these pics coming through sometimes and wondering if they've come from albums (quietly feeling a little jelly as the new album toy seemed a bit broken from the start for me @Teej 😆😉)

Have you been able to use images you've moved into your new albums from when they would have been in the old album (hidden maybe)?

Re: Tech: Image Issues

Just created a new album @CheerBear and uploaded images, then posted one here which hasn’t been moderated but all went smoothly.

Re: Tech: Image Issues

When I’ve created albums I’ve made the new ones hidden @CheerBear. I’m not sure if that helps. I haven’t moved anymore for ages. Shall try and see what happens. 😄

Hi @Mazarita & @s-jay,

I am a bit technologically disadvantaged so looking for some help.

I am looking to up load a profile pic.

I get to browse photo library, select my pic & then it seems to do nothing or just goes back to the screen before.

Im sure it’s probably something I’m not doing right.

Thanks in advance if you can help.

Re: Tech: Image Issues

Hi @Imn83 - I'll look into this for you, but need a few bits of info first.

Are you on mobile or computer?
And what browser are you using?

Cheers
