How to Post an Image on Permies.com

Hey folks, pardon me for repeating this endlessly ... but this works.

I take a screen grab of the image I want to post and save it as a file (.jpg or .png) on whatever laptop I happen to be using (Linux or Windows).

I can then upload that file in a post using Post Reply and Attachments. The screen grab is automatically low resolution so it's a fairly small file size, meaning it doesn't waste server space (which costs money).

This is all way too hard.  I have spent hours trying to figure this out and I only end up being extremely frustrated and pissed off.  I have another forum that I belong to and it works seamlessly.  This needs to be more of a cut and paste, rather than having to put pictures online so I can grab an address.  Ridiculous.

Or you could upload it directly here

Beneath the window for writing your post is the "attachments" section.  Click the "upload a file" button.

I think they simplified it since this picture was taken.  Or it might be browser dependent.   But it's close enough.

Well, that's doable!  Even trying to find directions on how to do it took forever.  I tried the obvious of "Search threads and posts" with all sorts of search terms and NOTHING closely related came up.  I wanted to throw something!  Thank you for such straight-forward directions!  It's very hard to describe my front garden, but it is located on a highway and lots of people do walk by using the sidewalk.
Now, to see if the pictures actually post!

Here are some pictures of when it was first planted back in '21.  Pretty amazing to look back, as the pictures above were taken last summer and the garden was only three!
I have three paw paws, three apples, all sorts of currants, rhubarb, two persimmons, about 30 serviceberries, 50 crowns of asparagus, all sorts of perennials, strawberries covering every square inch, a cherry tree, lingonberries, aronia, a medlar, all sorts of perennial herbs, two figs, a few climbing roses just in that front garden.  Lots more out back!

The top of the tinkering with this site (tinkering)  forum has lots of tutorials links.

A bunch of us long term users also put the how permies works link in our signature.

Although I admit, I put mine there to make it easier to find when I need it.  Others finding it helpful was a pleasant side effect.



As for search, sometimes it restricts the search to the forum you are in.  When typing, there is a drop down to let you choose just that forum or the whole site.  Or I just use the searchbar on permies.com/forums which searches all forums.

That's a really handy guide. Thank you.
