yorkshire_spam Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 The images seem to show if I'm signed in to google, but otherwise not. I hadn't intended to link to the google images but to actually paste the images into this forum, clearly I did something wrong. BUT I can't edit my post (or at least I can't find a way to edit it) to correct the images. Can anyone help? Cheers, Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Hutchings Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Hey Sam, yea firstly to edit, hopefully you see three dots (ellipsis) somewhere toward the top right of the post in question that had an ‘edit’ option when clicked? Regarding the image insertion, if you’re pasting an image path the forum will try and be clever about it and ‘embed’ it. So... your options are to move all the images in GDrive to a folder that has public/everyone permissions on it, and then paste them in again. Or you can upload them from your device if you have a local copy, i.e. using the ‘Add Files’ or ‘Choose files’ link/button (depending on what sort of device you’re using) which attaches them to your post and uses the forum storage.

yorkshire_spam Posted April 29, 2021 Author Share Posted April 29, 2021 Thanks Ben, I only get "Share" as an option on the 3 dots on my posts, no edit. On posting I only see "Insert Image from Url" no upload option? Is my functionality restricted because I'm not a member or something?

Ben Hutchings Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Good question.... @Craig any idea? @yorkshire_spam do you happen to be using Edge browser on Windows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferny Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Opera browser on android only allows the share option. I'd assume it's a permissions setting rather than anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Hmmm. I will have to look into this one. There is no distinction between member types as to who can upload or edit what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkshire_spam Posted April 29, 2021 Author Share Posted April 29, 2021 Thanks @Craig, I'd like your post, but I can't find a way to do that either 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Hi Sam. Try now, you should be able to edit your posts and thumbs-up other people's posts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkshire_spam Posted April 29, 2021 Author Share Posted April 29, 2021 Thanks @Craig, I managed to edit the post and point the images at my own hosting. I don't seem to be able to upload images to this forum, only insert as links to somewhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 That's not right. I will see if I can fix that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
