Thank you

BB code is the code that is used to modify how characters appear (e.g., bold, italics, size of the font). It sounds like you might have been going too large with the font size.

Post a picture to a visitor site? Tommi tried to walk me through it, but I don't have 'a yellow box' to check. Is it because of my status?

What do I need to do and where can I get more info?

Kind regards,

Do you mean post a picture on someone's profile or in a thread? What you are looking for is this:

Do you see the mountain/sun image?

None of the options come up for me.

Hi Linus,

I have a general Internet/posting question and I'm hoping that you can help me with it. Just starting yesterday I have been having a problem posting images which I believe is unrelated to this site but it affects me here.

My general source for getting images is through Google images. Previously I would occasionally run into a situation where the URL I would copy would be absolutely huge and exceed the character limit of the posting box. It used to be that I would just try a couple of different images and I would quickly find one short enough. Starting yesterday every single image seems to have an excessively huge url. I tried over 40 randomly chosen images all with the same result.

I decided to try emailing them to myself in Gmail. I know that does not have the character limit. Every single one that I tried worked fine, and were not even slow to preview.

Do you know if there is a new policy out there in the wild Internet, or copyright issue, that might be creating these enormous URL addresses? I looked around a bit and could find no information.

Thank you

I'm sure I should know this, but why did my new photo post ninety degrees skewed, and how can I fix it?

I access the site on my iPhone, and I uploaded the image from my Camera Roll.

ETA I just remembered that the thumbnail of the old photo of us looks right, but when I click on it, it's skewed the other way.

It has to do with the original orientation of the photo. Likely because of the iPhone. I'd suggest saving it with photo editing software in the orientation you want and upload it with that from the camera roll.
