I am trying to upload some photos for comments etc, and have readand thought i unsedstood the help menu here on UHH and tried to drag and drop my photos in, However it only showed the file extention? number? and not the photo. And UHH closed my posting because I did not post any photos. Could and or would someone help me to understand how to upload a photo as I unfortunatly seem to be nearly computer Illitarte, I have them moved to my desktop at this time, and I use a 2014 iMac.

If you look below you will see "choose file", that is step 1.. then "add attachment" step 2.... Then "send"

There's no drag n drop aspect so you couldn't possibly have the correct instructions ... It's button driven and one file at a time manually selected.

Try these instructions:

You can drag and drop onto the "Browse" or "Select File" or "Choose File" button. Most browsers support that in addition to the standard way of clicking on that button.

No it didnt say to drag and drop in the instructions your right, but I thought I could drag and drop because I thought the file name would go with it, I'm just so illiterate I'm not even sure how to find and put that file in. do i have to type the physical file name in the attachment box. If all find my stupidly too frustrating I understand and I'll just have to read up more and try a lot harder.

No problem. I recognized (I think) exactly what you tried from your description. You can drag an image onto a browser window and the image will display, but of course, that's not the process for posting a picture to UHH. Just try following the instructions in the link provided. It includes screen captures.

Although ADMIN had commented directly and provided the linked instructions, this is clearly not intuitive given the daily issues in posting images .... What I see missing from the linked instruction is what happens when you click the <Choose File> button (HINT HINT <<< area for improvement, the button is Choose File, not Browse). A new subwindow opens. From here, you need to navigate to the folder where the image resides and then click on that image in the list of files. When the image file is highlighted, you can press <Open> and continue with the instructions. I'm using Chrome on a Windows10 machine. The process may have slightly different names on another machine type, but the same overall process.
