Thanks, Tamara. I'd LOVE to be able to directly upload photos here. That's a change in the new Rose Hybridizers Association forum and it makes posting them there tremendously easier. One suggestion, if possible, on the RHA forum, when you preview the message before submitting it, you can see the images you've uploaded. Here, I can't. Also, when you make changes to the script, it appears to abort the image upload, so it has to be reinserted. Thanks! Kim

Also, on the RHA, even after posting the message, you are able to go back to it and edit any errors then repost it in the original position. That could make a wonderful addition to Garden Web, too. Kim

Hey Kim,

All good suggestions! I'll let you know if we can make some tweaks.

Best,

Tamara

Thank you! As always, great "seeing" you! Kim

Well, I'm not getting any edit box or browse button on the preview page.

Seil,
On preview page under your message, you have a "choose file" button?

The problem with mobile devices is they use a different version of java script (gava script?).

Yipeeeeeee !!!!!!!
Let's try it out

Yes, Seil, once you've written what you want, hit preview, then you will have the browse image or file, don't remember which, for you to use to upload the image. Fun, huh? Kim

OK, lets try this again.

Nope, still no browse button anywhere.

I normally use Opera so I'm trying it again with Explorere.

Yep, there it is!

My newest rose, Sedona, bloomed today!

Well drat! It didn't show up?

One more time.

OK, so I have to use Explorer and you can only place the pic at the end of your text. Got it! I may just stick with Photobucket.

Testing to see if Firefox works

Let's see if I can do this. Nope. File too large. So you have to go to a third party site, upload your photos to shrink them, then come back here to upload them? That's just as complicated as uploading to Photobucket. Am I missing something here?
Renee

Can more than one photo be loaded in a single message? Like sometimes, we like to show off 4 or 5 roses in one message.

Too lazy to try it out right now. I'll let the rest of you experiment first. : )

Renee, I use a free software program called Faststone Image Viewer. I use it to download photos from my camera and it also does a lot of other cool stuff like re-sizing photos....while keeping them on your own computer. It does mean keeping a good full size copy and a shrunk copy too, but at least there is no need to send your pictures to Photobucket or Flickr or ???? which I have never much wanted to do.

Here is a link that might be useful: Faststone free software

Check, check...

And it fails, with zero feedback. That's really bad :-(

I only see the ability to upload one photo, which is a drawback vs. Photobucket, Flickr, etc. I like how much more direct it is, but much more limited. The RHA forum allows you to up load from Flickr many images or up to three direct from your hard drive, thumb drive, etc. It also permits you to insert photos wherever you want to put them in the text; shows you how the submitted post will look, including photos, before posting; permits you to edit the post before submitting without having to re do your upload; insert multiple links; change color, font and size, etc. Not that I expect all of that from GW, but things such as these are possible. Kim

Gripe, gripe, gripe, gripe, gripe.

It's so much better than not being able to do it at all.

I say: THANK YOU !!!!!

"Gripe, gripe, gripe, gripe, gripe.

But it doesn't work, you see. Several of us in this thread have attempted to upload a test image and it doesn't work. Did YOU get it to work??

First attempt at picture:

Try again -

Paul, how can you say it didn't work? There is a picture loaded with the first of your two posts....?????

And, yes, it works just fine for me.

Ah, and while I was responding I see that you DID get it to work. Hurrah !!!! :-))))

PS the Gallicas are bloomin'

Nope, wouldn't do it, said my file was too large...

Ogrose, try downloading the free software (Faststone) that I linked to earlier in the thread if you don't already have photo software that will resize your pictures. Because I take pictures at very high resolution, I always have to resize them before uploading them to internet sites. It is annoying to have two copies of the same picture on my computer, but it still (for me) beats uploading photos to Flickr or Photobucket....(just a personal quirk of mine....)

Well, I can't say whats going on here, but there are NO pictures displayed in this thread, as far as my machine is concerned. That HAS TO BE a back-end software issue.

Paul, I can view 9 or 10 pictures in this thread, including two in your posts, so I'm thinking the pictures must be "on" GW but that they are not showing up due to some setting in your system? I am the least techie person on the planet, so I'm not very helpful, but....I can see pictures. I use Firefox (just by the way).

Testing with my Mon Cheri and daughter Issabella...

trospero--all your pics are showing. The first one is a dark, dark purple (what is that rose?) and the second one is a full-bodied yellow. Why it isn't showing on yours, I don't know, but my computer son--when I complain about some computer malfunction--often tells me to click on the "REFRESH" button at the top of the screen. Maybe that will bring up the new page with your pics. As I understand it, the computer often just brings up again the original page (without the pics) unless you direct it to "refresh." At least, give it a try. Can't hurt anything. : )
