First, welcome to the neighborhood!

Were you trying to post in one of the Buy/Sell/Trade forums? If so, you need to have a minimum of 10 posts before you can create a thread in one of these forums.

For the record, nobody is allowed to post to an existing B/S/T thread. You must contact the person who created the thread by clicking on their username and selecting "Start a Conversation" (private messaging) to contact them.

There used to be a thread on how to post a thread and post photos and I'm sure it's still around, I added to it once on how to post from a smart phone. As I recall, the thread was getting outdated a little with the software that is currently used on PCs and I would like to show how easy it really is for those who are having problems creating and uploading photos to your post. A photo is worth a thousand words, and no one wants to read a grand, they had rather hold it.

First you have to be logged in to your account. Once logged in, you should get a screen that looks similar to this one:

In the top left corner, you will notice that the "Home" icon is highlighted. This is your home screen. To the right of "Home" is a "Forums" icon. Click on the Forums icon and your screen will show a list of all the different forums that are available to post in. As an example, if you are seeking advice on a coin that you believe has an error, you should ask your question in the "Error Coins" forum. Click on this forum and you should get a screen similar to this:

The forum screen will have all of the other threads created by other members here. It is always best to start your own. Comments containing photos are allowed on other threads, but usually you will get more responses pertaining to your questions or comments if you are the author of the thread. To make a post, click on the "Post New Thread" icon which is pointed out above by the red arrow. You should get a screen similar to this:

Click on "Thread Title" and type in the title that you want your thread to have. Then click on the dialog box to post your questions or comments about your coin.

Once you have your post worded as you want, please add photos of your coin. Everyone wants to see what it is that you are seeing, and you will get much better responses to your questions or comments if you add a photo.

Just under the dialog box, there are three icons. Click on the "Upload a File" icon and a pop up similar to this should appear:

If you click on the "Choose File" icon within this pop up, a pop up of your stored files and/or photos should appear on the screen.

Click on the photo or file that you wish to upload to your post, and then click on the "Open" icon under your files. Both pop ups will disappear and within seconds, depending on your internet speed, your photo will appear under the dialog box. You may add additional photos by repeating the upload a file sequence.

Once your photos have been uploaded, you can place them within the dialog box by clicking on the icons beside the photos. If you click on "Thumbnail" or "Create Thread" at this time, your photos will appear as a small photo that is very hard to see. The readers of your thread will have to resize the photos while reading, to see what you are trying to convey. No one likes to do this, so it is best to click on "Full Image" so that your photo will appear as full size. You can click on the icons above the photos and all will appear in a row, or you can place them one at a time in your post by clicking on the icons that are beside each photo.

A tip is that where ever your cursor is within the dialog box, is where the photos will appear within your post. Once your post is as you want it, you can click on the "Preview" icon and see how it will appear to others, you can edit it here, or just click on the "Create Thread" icon and you're done. Good Luck!

Gentlemen - sorry I didn't see this until now. The reason that both of you are having the problem you are having is because neither one of you have confirmed your email address. And until your email address is confirmed, posting privileges are limited.

Please go here and read this thread, it will help explain what the problem is and how you can fix it.

Hi, I'm new here and I'm having the same issue, and I did not receive any confirmation email! Is the site down or I'm doing something wrong?

Seems to be a problem. Maybe you have to wait more time? Should be someone with better explanation hopefully.
Oh, Welcome to the forum.

Me too, I have not received any confirmation mail yet. Is there maybe a tech issue?

Welcome to CT Rusky.
I don't believe that CT issues any email alerts, that is anymore. I think it happened somewhere in an update to their software. I am not positive with that, I haven't received anything from CT in an email for years. You can use the alerts tab at the top right of every page.
