Hey Wayne:

I love the color of the Porsche 959 !!!

Did you finish-up your 959 and what color did you end with?

Post a picture, please. SmileWavy

This is exactly what you get when you tell an engineer "I want you to double the horsepower of the car."

Drop from what to where?

Maybe I need to be more specific. I opened the "upload a photo..." dialog box.

I opened "my computer" window with thumbnails chosen as the view.

I dragged (drug?) a picture from the "my computer" window to the "upload a photo..." window and my picture filled the "upload a photo..." window completely.

Now what? All I see is my picture in the "upload a photo..." window.

I know I must be missing something simple. Sorry I am computer illiterate.

that worked for me pretty smartly...... Firefox.

Having not uploaded photos before, I had to figure out that from the "Quick Reply" box, click "Go Advanced"opening a larger "Reply to Thread" box. Under the box your typing into click "Click here to Upload a Photo". This opens a separate box which you drag your photo into. It worked fine from there.
I'm using Chrome

Yep...works fine! Thanks Wayne!

^^^^ Then click upload. Then click on preview post to see if it worked.

pete3799 11-28-2016 06:10 PM

There's nothing to click on .......just the photo....no buttons no nothing.

stevej37 11-28-2016 06:14 PM

I just checked again and the message "I'm finished..close the window" pops up when the pic has been loaded. Does yours show that?

It doesn't work quite right with macOS Sierra & Safari.

When I click on the "Click here to Upload a Photo..." link, I get this screen. That's fine.

But most of the time, I scroll to bottom of the left pane in Finder and choose 'Photos' to access my photo library. Using this method, I can't select multiple pictures. If I hold down the Command key to select multiple images, it only lets me upload the first one I choose.

Edit: Actually the 2nd picture I dragged into the same upload appears to be a broken link.

I can drag and drop multiple files into the window IF I know what directory the files are in and the filenames I want to upload. I saved these screen captures to the desktop and I tried it that way and it worked.

The thing is that most of the time I had no idea what directory the pictures are in or their filenames. It's just sort of the photo management paradigm of macOS (and earlier versions of OS X).

Looks like it works on Firefox...
