thanks

Not Angie but chiming in anyway!

It looks like you're not an 'active member' yet - must be pretty close - so you can't post pics yet. Read this:

Does that make sense?

ETA - sorry, looks like you've posted pics before so I've got that wrong somewhere, but you're only up as a 'member' not an active member and that's presumably why you're not managing to post pics.

thanks, I'll just wait and see, and start posting. It's weird that I could yesterday.

Thanks, Polly.

Have you managed to post pictures today, Teri?

I couldn't post any yesterday but I will try again right now to see if it's changed.

ETA: nope, the *add a photo* spot that usually comes up when I edit a post isn't there.

I can explain this. We set up the system so that people must reach the "active member" level before posting pictures. It is really easy to become an active member -- you automatically reach this level after only 10 days and 5 posts.

Until recently we had a bug where people who weren't active members could still add a picture in the edit window after creating a post. That was fixed yesterday.

I am very sorry for the inconvenience, but this is one way that we combat spammers.

Mo and teri, clearly you aren't spammers and it is great to have you on YLF. If I had a way to push you to active member status early I would, but unfortunately I don't have a mechanism for doing that. I hope you'll stick with us for a few more days.

Thanks for the explanation. I just had to fiddle and found I could post on Facebook and then get a public link. guess I'm a *where there's a will there's a way* kind of gal!

you can also post on flikr or photobucket and post a link for us if you wish. that's how we all did it back in the olden days before YLF had the photo posting option...LOL
