Message:: [QUOTE="Hommer, post: 2248141, member: 73266"]We see lots of threads started here from people who have made new discoveries, or just have a question about an unusual coin they have kept for a while.Most don't have a PC, but do have a Smartphone, which is fine, but sometimes the instructions on how to post a question and photos from your phone get confusing for some, me included at first. We all aren't as eloquent as Henry David Thoreau with our description, so we must rely on photos to show just what it is that we are seeing and want everyone else to see.  Believe me when I say, most collectors will be just as excited as you to see a new find, so don't get discouraged. After logging into this site, you should have this screen. [ATTACH=full]444310[/ATTACH] In the header at the top of the screen, among the icons ( little buttons), there is one that says "Forums". If you click on that icon you should get this screen. [ATTACH=full]444312[/ATTACH] Choose the forum that best describes your question or post and click on it. For demonstration I chose Coin Chat. You should get a screen similar to this. [ATTACH=full]444314[/ATTACH] At the top is a icon, or button, that says "Post New Thread". Click on it and you should get this screen. .[ATTACH=full]444313[/ATTACH] Type in a Title and your message or question.  [ATTACH=full]444318[/ATTACH] Under the message box (dialogue box), there are 3 icons. To add a picture stored on your phone to your post, click on "Upload a File" [ATTACH=full]444320[/ATTACH] You should get a pop-up similar to this. [ATTACH=full]444321[/ATTACH] In the pop-up click on "Choose File". A menus of files stored on your phone will pop up. Here's mine. [ATTACH=full]444323[/ATTACH] I chose "Gallery" because that is where my photos are stored. When you click on it, your stored files will pop up. Click on the picture you wish to add to your post and wait for it to upload. According to how good of a connection you have, it may take a few seconds to a minute to upload.  Until it does your screen may show this. [ATTACH=full]444324[/ATTACH] When the file is finished uploading, your picture will show up under "Attached files" under the dialogue box. [ATTACH=full]444325[/ATTACH] Not many, myself included,  like having to resize pictures within a post while reading it. To the right of your uploaded file are a couple of icons. One says "Full Image". If you click on it, your file will be resized to full and be placed in the dialogue box for you. There is a catch though, it loads it in the box where your cursor is located,  so be sure you have the cursor where you want the picture before you hit the "Full Image" button.Once the picture shows up in the dialogue box, you can, click on "Preview" to make sure everything is to your liking before you post it (I should do it more often). If so hit the "Create Thread" button and you're done. Hope this helps and good luck with your finds.[/QUOTE]
