How do I...? (pics/vids/polls/etc...)

[IAmLIAm]

This question seems to come up (or is alluded to) fairly often so...
I feel like I should share a couple of things I've picked up during my time here.

First of all, I find the site is far easier to navigate in "vB4 Default Style"
If you are on PC/laptop this is the default setting.
If you are on a mobile device, you will need to change this setting.
At the bottom of the community homepage, on the left side there is a drop menu to select your default style.
I would also suggest that even if you are primarily using the site on a mobile device try logging in once or twice on a computer to get a feel for the various options (you can hover your cursor over buttons or tabs and a small information window will explain their purpose).
Then you will know the function of these items even when back on a mobile device.

Images:
Once you have opened a "quick reply" window click on the tree icon.
Once the "insert image" window is open you have the option to select "from computer" or "from URL"

URL is easier, so let's start there.
If you are able to copy the link address for the image you wish to share then all you need to do is paste it into the "URL" box, untick the small "Retrieve remote file.." box and hit OK.
Your image will now be full-size and in your reply window.

From computer takes a few additional steps to get a full-size image (at least that I've been able to work).
Click the "chose file" button, select the file you wish to upload then hit OK.
Once you've done that the image will be in your reply window as an attachment.
Press the "go advanced" button in the replay window (lower right), then "preview post" (lower right).
Up in the "your post" window (preview window) you should be able to right-click the attachment and copy the link.
Now back down in the reply window you can open the "URL" box, paste the link in the "URL" box, untick the small "Retrieve remote file.." box and hit OK.
You will now have a full-size image in your post and a small attachment image.

Pics from an advertiser's profile (only way I've found)
I have only been able to do this while on a computer.
I have to open a second instance of my web browser, then have the 2 instances split screen.
Then I open a reply window in the first instance and the profile in the second.
In the first instance open the "URL" box and untick the "retrieve..." box
In the second instance go to the gallery page.
Once there you should be able to "drag" the pics (one at a time) into the "URL" box in the first instance.
"OK" it in the first instance and repeat as needed.

Videos:
Once you have opened a "quick reply" window click on the film reel icon.
That will open the "insert video clip" window and URL box.
Paste the link to the video you wish to post and hit "OK"
Your video should now be in your reply window.

Polls:

Multi-quote posting:
Multi-quoting is the button to the right of "reply with quote" (💬+)
If you click it then it changes to (💬 ✔️)
After you select a few posts click "respond to thread" and the selected posts will be quoted (in order of selection, not by date or time).



If anyone knows easier ways than what I have found, please feel free to add on.
If I have missed something please add it (I have left off the more basic stuff (PMs, thanks, etc...) as those are relatively easy to find answers to.

I was wondering about the first post.

Thank you for the clarification.

So... Red ink over this thread?
Seriously, who is the troll?
Why post in here at all of you feel it's insincere?

I really would have liked this to be a jumping on point for others to learn and share some of the more nuanced operations of the site.
But what does it matter what I prefer, my bonafides don't add up to the level worthy of having a voice.
Clearly I should be beaten and bludgeoned into submission

I guess, "thanks" for letting me see the error of my ways.

It's common courtesy to post a screenshot of your user control panel when replying to anonymous negative rep. We have had issues in the past of certain users playing the "dying swan" when in fact they were the ones dishing out the neg rep in an attempt to become a martyr. It sounds retarded but it's true

I don't think I ever got negative rep.

I also never manage to put up a picture properly.
Why not make this a thread a sticky?
I think it would be useful.

A valid concern. I wasn't quite sure what protocol might be.
I think I've only noticed yourself and LDM post the red (grey) received.

Seriously Stephanie?

Okay, this will be the third time that I have apologized to you over my tone in the Israel thread.
I am sorry for that post.
I did question your use of a certain phrase and I did want clarity on whether or not you knew how it might come across to others.
My tone was 100% out of line.
As I have explained to you previously, the tone was a defiant, overcompliance due to the thread being told to "keep it civil".
The tone was not directed at you, but the questions were, and that is absolutely my fault for confusing the two.
Not my proudest moment. It is, as stated elsewhere, my one real regret on here.
If you can not accept that, then just block me. I won't hold it against you.
Clearly there were some issues between yourself and IDF, but that is not me.
