How in the world do I add pictures to a post?

I clicked on the insert little envelope thing but what URL do I use?

I figured out how to upload my avatar and to put some pictures in my gallery but that is about it.

I also need to know how to add an album of pictures. It is so frustrating to me to not know how to do something (recovering perfectionist and all).

I am technologically challenged!

Help!

Thanks in advance tech guru!

The URL you use should end with jpg or gif. So, for example, I would use (without the space) http: //icanhascheezburger.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/f304c678-2c22-442e-a18f-83237ec2f038.jpg in the picture box (which enters IMG tags and puts the URL between them)

Hi

I have gone into advanced search and set up and saved a particular search for future reference.

How do I then use it? I don't see where I access "saved searches"

Thank you

I've checked and apparently it's a bug so massive it goes right to the latest version of vBulletin (4.x).

Oops! Sorry about that.

I noticed this last night, checked to make sure I wasn't in trouble and forgot about it, but it's still happening this morning.

When I click "Thanks" on a post, it does post the thanks, but it immediately redirects me to an error message:

Nat, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

- Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page.
- Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
- If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

I tested this out on several different posts by different people, and one time it didn't redirect to the error and the 5? other times it did.

Am I in troubles?

If the person is timed out this error can show as well if they aren't approved (this can happen when people change their email and end up in the "Awaiting for Email Verification" group).

It's not you.. It's them.

These are long time posters I think. I will try again tonight and see if it's still happening.

Ive seen this happen before when people have issues with their cookies. Were you logged in under a firewall by chance?

Can you pretty please move buzz cut from where it currently is and move it under butches in the smilies?

Please? I nearly lose my sight trying to find it on my iPhone each time.

Thank you!

[Nat]

I will check around to see if I've somehow got a firewall going or some weird cookie setting. It's definitely still happening - it happened today on two of our lady Medusa/Angie's posts and I'm pretty sure she hasn't done anything wrong.

Hi Linus

This doesn't consistently happen to me, but it did happen to me today. When I thanked YOU. The thanks still posted, but I was redirected to the page I mentioned.

It also wouldn't let me post this because it said I had to wait 30 seconds from my last post, but my last post wasn't THAT recent.

I keep being redirected to sign in....it's happening on the other forums that use this host site. I've cleared cookies, so, hopefully that should cure it!

Try clearing out all cookies as we did some changes to them. So that might be causing some issues.

That behaviour is pretty much 99% cookies. If it still happens, let me know.

Thank you! It usually happens when I post a lot on the other forums that use V Bulletin....I'm collecting too many cookies and I don't even like them! LOL!

Hi Linus,

I was wondering if you could help me.

How is it that I respond to a profile message left by Betenoire and it appears in some other profile?

What I did was click on conversation from my profile and responded from there, so I don't understand how that happened.

This is now causing me a headache. Could you please help?

On who's profile did it end up on instead?
