    Posting photos of customs

    Hi,
    How do I post a photos of custom Mego figures? I see where I can post a photo via a URL, but the photo I have is not on the Web, it's just saved to my computer. Is there any way to upload the file directly to my post?

    Thanks.

    when you click teh photo button, the window comes up with from URL as teh default. there is a tab next to it that says from computer. I think it is supposed to have drag and drop capability. but that never works for me. In the bottom right of the box, click classic upload (or something like that). Select from your folder. Upload. You can only do 1 at a time this way, but you can repeat as many times as you need

      Unfortunately I am not seeing any such tab... only the option to use a URL. I even tried from two different browsers just in case, but no luck.

        I could be wrong, but I believe you need more posts (?) before you are allowed to upload files. But you can use an image sharing site like Flickr and then link in the image.

            This is unfortunate because I recently completed what I think is a pretty cool custom considering it was my first-ever attempt. Now I am unable to share it with the greater Mego community.

              Still seems to work for me. This is from my upload to Imgbb.

                This is what appears for the picture above from CG.

                You copy the url from the photo in your galllery and have to add the [img] in the front and the [/img] in the back (no spaces - I added them so you can see the text.)

                  Why not post it on CustomMego on FB? that is seen by everyone here and there ( as each mego community is somewhat unique).
                  Plus FaceBook doesn't flip your pictures or fork their sizes like the Basic Uploader here does, which is my pet peeve...

                    I can't post pictures either. All I use now is a tablet and have yet to figure it out. That's why I haven't posted anything in a long time.

                      Are you saying you can or can’t see my photo?

                        scott can see your pic. he was demonstrating how teh code works rather than showing your photo.

                            That's exactly how Mikey taught me how to do it here years ago...but now, it doesn't work anymore.
