Uploading photos ?

[Herm TDI]

I can not upload photos into my media folder?
I've followed the instructions :

How to upload photos in Xenforo and use them in your posts

This is a temporary place holder for a proper FAQ on how to upload photos to the new system: To upload images to the image server: Go to the "Media" section. The link is found in the top bar. click on "Add Media" found near the top right corner. You will get a popup on where you want to...

forums.tdiclub.com

But I am not getting the option to upload

 

[snakeye]

Where are you getting stuck? Under media if you select "add media", do you get a list which you can scroll through, where the two last options are "create personal album" and "add media to existing album"?

Join the crowd. As good as this site is, the procedure to upload pics continue to be its nemesis.

I hate to say it but I also have trouble inserting mine into a message.
I did manage to change avatar to my TDI Club license plate frame (covered the plate numbers)

I don't have any problems... it can sometimes be a bit clunky, but not terribly difficult using the TDI club pic server. You can just cut 'n paste, too.

Here's a random pic I just took:

Start to finish, took about 90 seconds (found the picture on my phone, sent it to my PC, uploaded it to the TDI club pic server, cut 'n pasted it here).

That's yet ANOTHER Ecoboost engine being replaced, in case anyone was wondering...

Being the owner of an Ecoboost in the Expedition, I'm not happy to see that lol.

I'll have to try that.
Of course I'll only use copy & paste.
Now to find the pictures.

Yeah, copy, not cut.... see I'm an idiot with computers and even I can figure it out LOL.

I would never call you an idiot.
You might be bigger then me.
I was in the IT field almost 40 years which helps.

They did, but couldn't figure out how to post it

I resemble that also,
I uploaded pictures of my car and TDI Club license plate frame and can't figure out how to post them into a message.

Ok, just took a one minute screen recording of uploading a pic, now does anyone know a way to unload a .MP4 to the site?
Edit:
Here's the dropbox link to the screen-recording video of uploading a picture to tdiclub from an Android phone using chrome browser

I hope you don't mind, but I just uploaded it to YouTube.

That’s pretty much it, but once you have the pic uploaded to the Club you really don’t have to do the whole copy link to clipboard crap. Just click the little camera icon like you see here and you can select a photo from your Media album:

I keep forgetting the invisible camera icon exists

... but when you use it, it adds the caption as above. If you want just the image, you need to use the BB code, like this:

If you're on a desktop browsing here, if you copy an image to your clipboard, you can just paste an image into a post now... pretty handy.

I at least run them through a quick and dirty resize with MS Paint, re-orient if I need to as well. Once the changes are saved, can even just right click and hit copy in Explorer, then ctrl+V into whatever TDIClub post/reply you need.

It's a lot faster and easier than going through the pics server for sure if you don't need to create an album there for the individual post you're making...

Maybe that works on Windows, but I just tried on a Mac....no luck.

I stumbled across that a while ago and was amazed, now I am amazed I can't duplicate it.

When Fred first installed the forum software, you could cut and paste. Believe he changed that.

If this worked I got it.
Should be a picture of my 2014 JSW
2024 Atlas SEL in the background.
Open the picture to see both.

"When Fred first installed the forum software, you could cut and paste. Believe he changed that." Sure you can..... hmmmm... I know darned well this didn't work a few weeks ago.

I'll agree with you.
I couldn't do it.
The cave age may be over.
Next we may get voice recognition for speak to reply.
I do realize these things take time to configure & test.

I use to hate when I had to support a users Mac desktop.
They had to print to multi function printers and the drivers seemed to conflict with the Mac and the printer.
The IT manager I reported to roared laughing when I installed Windows on my laptop and he saw it working.
