Photography Question 

Marcus Peddle
 

Getting Photos from Gallery to Discussion Forums


I have looked around but I can't figure out how to upload a photograph to the Constructive Criticism forum or the Friendly Praise forum. I managed to upload a photo to my gallery but can't get it into the forums. I go to the forum, click 'upload picture', select 'do not enter contest' and then submit. A message appears saying my photo has been submitted but I never see it again. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

  Hi Marcus---the first person to leave a comment on your photo, gets to choose the forum. (Generally, people choose "Friendly Praise" by default, if leaving a "hey, great image!" kind of message.)
If you have a Before and After image, and you want it in that Forum, you must be the first to comment on your own photo---you'd upload the "after" image, then immediately go comment on it, choosing "Before & After" as the Forum, and attaching the "before" image along with a comment. That is about the only time you yourself need to pick a discussion forum for your photos.

  Oops... your last part of your email... if you're not activating images to be displayed in your gallery, or don't know how, you'll need to sign in completely, then visit your Member Center (see upper right corner of BP's screen, when you log in) and check out the in-depth tour on how to use your Member Center and administer your gallery---I only see 1 photo active in your gallery right now.

  Thank you for the reply. Another member was also kind enough to send me an email telling me how to get photos where I want them.
I only have one photo in my gallery at the moment because I didn't know how to get them in the forums. I'll be uploading more soon.
Thanks!
