Could somebody please explain to a relative newby in words of two syllables or less how I post photos on Gransnet. Nothing technical please smile

I too have found that when I post on other forums they quite often come out up side down. Most annoying. Two lovely dog photos.

Oo I am so excited over the Alstromeria! blush They are my favourite flowers. I buy these
flowers from the supermarket and always have them in the house when I can get them. I didn't realise you could buy plants (yes that sounds a bit daft, but I thought maybe they were grown abroad or something). I shall be searching for plants next year. Thank you. smile

Oh it worked, I've just read the posts how to post photos so I tested it out. Thank you ladies...it's my lovely old girl with Dave the soft toy doggy.smile

Thought I'd practise with this pic of my border collie bonnie

Petra Definately an Alstromeria it's a perennial. They come in various colours.

I seem to remember that sometimes they are upside-down in the preview but right way up once they appear in a post

Just practising

Have you asked HQ what`s going on?

Greyduster Fri 19-Aug-16 17:55:27

I tried to put back the original photograph and the two I posted previously have now gone, and I have two copies of the original. Hair - tearing out for the use of!

Greyduster Fri 19-Aug-16 17:49:10

I have just tried adding another photo to the existing two. One of the originals has disappeared and I have two copies of the new one - both are upside down!

numberplease Fri 19-Aug-16 17:08:49

Greyduster, I have quite a few on my profile, and the lovely Soop has several albums full, so not sure why you can`t get more than 2 on.

Greyduster Fri 19-Aug-16 10:41:37

I can do it, but sometimes they come out upside down! What I would really like to know is why, when I post pictures on my profile page, other photos disappear. I can only manage to get two on there. Are we only allowed two?

Thank you Margsus and Charleygirl they are two rescued ex racing greyhounds. The white one Sophie is 12 1/2 a very good age for a hound, and the black is Harry 9 years. We think they are lovely. To all

It is Alstroemeria. If you mulch them they will survive over Winter in some areas, but not all. I like it, but use it mainly to bulk out a cut flower arrangement.

Dustyangel I think your right. I've looked it up and think that's it. I bought it in a plant sale when it was on its last legs. I've been so impressed with it that I want to get some more. Thank you.

dustyangel Thu 18-Aug-16 18:53:35

I think they could be Alstoemeira petra, not sure but there will probably be a proper'gardener along soon. smile

petra Thu 18-Aug-16 18:46:41

Thank you so much for the very precise but simple explanation GrannyKnot

petra Thu 18-Aug-16 18:41:57

Here goes. And if anyone knows what this plant is, could you tell me. Thank you.

Charleygirl Thu 18-Aug-16 18:14:54

Those dogs are so cute.

Margsus Thu 18-Aug-16 17:59:58

Millymouge I have fallen totally in love with your dog!

TriciaF Thu 18-Aug-16 17:58:12

Thanks Elegran, and Grannyknot - I think I know how to find the file with the photo, but will have to ask husband (later).
I'm a self taught silversurfer but don't think I taught myself very well, only the basics.
Husband had some lessons, and is a natural anyway.

Elegran Thu 18-Aug-16 17:40:02

It will have gone first to that bathing suit file because that was the last you used.

Elegran Thu 18-Aug-16 17:39:18

The browse button takes you to your computer and a list of the files on there. One of them is the photo you are looking for. To find it you will have to go to the folder that has that photo file in it. Do you know which folder the photo you want to post has been saved in?
