<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joan, post: 4464697, member: 5398&quot;]I really appreciate your thoughtful comments, NanaB, and hope that you will change your mind about posting photos and asking questions.&nbsp; Even if you don&#039;t have questions but have something that you want to show off because you think it&#039;s special or different, it might prompt others to share their photos of similar items.</p><p><br /></p><p>I found uploading photos a little confusing at first even after reading the instructions provided in the &quot;Announcements &amp; Rules&quot;. A really simple way to upload photos if working on a computer is to drag and drop them or copy and paste. (I&#039;ve never posted photos from my phone, so that would be a different process).</p><p><br /></p><p>To drag them while working on a computer shrink the Antiquers.com page so you can see your folder of photos beside the space where you type your thread (I use Windows 10; other systems might have a different process). Then click on the photos one at a time and drag to the the space where you enter text in the thread. You can also hold down the shift key while you&#039;re clicking on photos if you want to drag more than one at the same time (however, they may not end up in the order you want them if you drag multiple photos, so I just do one at a time).</p><p><br /></p><p>You can also click and copy the photo files then paste them into the thread. After you&#039;re finished, click &quot;Full Image&quot; at the top of all the photos. Before inserting photos make sure your cursor is before where you want the photos to appear in your thread. (Photos can&#039;t exceed 1mb each, and you&#039;re limited to 8 photos for each post within a thread.)&nbsp; You can practice doing this and then just delete everything and hit the back arrow if you don&#039;t want to create the thread.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding your concern about possibly being made to feel &quot;awkward,&quot; I understand what you mean, but maybe just tell yourself that we all have different personalities and ways of communicating. Some people can be quite blunt and critical of an item, while others can be exceptionally diplomatic about something that looks like junk to me. I suspect people are less likely to remember or think less of someone who was made to feel awkward, and maybe more likely to remember the person who made the comments.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
