Question Can't submit to contest because the image is uploaded to another thread?

enoeske · 08-01-2018, 02:53 PM

When I try to upload an image to the monthly contest, it tells me it is already uploaded to another thread (it is). How can I also post it to the contest?

When creating your post, click the "Go Advanced" button, then you'll see next to the message editing box a link for "Insert Album Photos". Click that link, and it'll bring up a small window for accessing your album photos. In the "From" dropdown box, select "Attachments", then you can look through photos you've previously attached to posts. When you find the right one, click on it, and the relevant link will be inserted into your post

Oh, awesome, Thanks. I've never seen that link before -- I always ignore all those smilies and have never looked under them

You're welcome

It took me a while (by which I mean "years") to figure it out myself
