Can’t load pics
I get the pic from my computer, I hit “USE”, it gives me the pic with the jpg link, go to the bottom of page and press “Close the window” and it kicks me out.
It’s extremely frustrating can someone help me please. I cannot get the jpg link to paste into a new post or a quote reply post. |

When creating or editing a post, click on the "Advanced" button.
Click on the "paperclip" icon ( ![]() Follow the instructions to select a .jpg file from your PC. You won't see the photo until you click on "Preview Post". If you have some kind of photo storage/sharing service, you can usually "copy image address" and then click on the "insert image" icon ( ![]()

Re: Can’t load pics
There are several variables that can cause issues when posting images to the forum i.e. posting from a computer vs mobile device, image size, image rotation (sideways pictures are very prevalent these days). I'm going to assume you are posting pictures that reside on your computer's hard drive since you mentioned your "computer" in your post. I was about to create a write-up on how to do this but is looks like member powerdriver_1958 has already created an excellent one located in this thread https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=627506. I don't agree with the necessity of making your image 640x480, that's pretty small by today's standards and will make some information too small to see or read if you are posting a detailed picture i.e. schematic. I believe the forum will resize an image if it is too large (to an extent) and have never had the forum give me an error when trying to post an image.
The annoying sideways image issue is due to the vBulletin forum software itself not recognizing the image rotation coding applied to an image when a picture is taken with a digital camera or mobile device. It's easy to fix but must be done on a picture-to-picture basis, unless you have access to, and are well versed in the use of a dedicated image manipulation software like Adobe Photoshop. Many of us aren't and we rely on others to correct the issue, or we just say "screw it" and leave them sideways. I fix image rotation issues with Microsoft Paint since it comes pre-installed on any PC that is running a Windows operating system. |

Re: Can’t load pics
.
Image rotation issues can be fixed without the use of image editing software using simple windows file explorer. Just open a new file explorer window, navigate to where the image is stored, set file explorer to show thumbnails of images ( may be the default ), right click on the image in question and select "rotate" from the little menu that pops up. Rotate it to its correct position. If the image is already in its correct position, rotate it out of position and then rotate it back into position. Then upload the image. Hth, -klb

Just to add. Sometimes after rotating it you have to save it with a new name to get rid of the Meta Tags. LockDoc

Re: Can’t load pics
If you open the offending file in MS Paint and rotate it to the correct orientation, even if it looks right when first opening turn it a quarter in either direction then back and save the file, ctrl+S or File / Save. I’ve never had to rename. There are ways to use Windows Explorer to find out which files will show up sideways prior to trying to post them but you’ll have to play with Explorer Folder options to find the folder setting that shows orientation in a column next to the file names.

Re: Can’t load pics
I can't ever get them to load from my phone either. I've wanted to post some of my truck occasionally and can't ever get it to work. I usually run out of patience and give up.

Re: Can’t load pics
I finally figured it out. Couple of extra steps for sure but tonight I posted a few pics so I’m getting somewhere.
