Hi. This doesn't have to be read. But it had to be written. If the answers are somewhere on the site and I've failed to find them, sorry for asking the questions. Most people, and I'd be one of them, probably won't get to the end of this post. But there might be someone out there who has been waiting for a chance to show their mastery...
1 I can upload pics to an album. But what's the difference between a private and public album, and is this connected to
2 If I try to attach a pic to a post and I click on the “Insert” photo box on the bottom right, a box pops up with ONE of my photo albums, but if I click on it instead of opening or allowing me some way to select, it puts a link to the cover picture on the post, so I'd be posting the same pic each time and
3 If I instead click on the “Inset image” envelope icon above the box, I can go to the album, get the url and copy it into the space as requested, but then sometimes it adds a photo to a post, sometimes a link, and last time, on a pm, added nothing.
4 If I click on the camera icon above which promises to let me select from uploaded photos, I get the same as in 2
and finally, if there is anyone still there,
5 If I end PM's, and later check the “sent” box, (maybe to remind myself what I said) it tells me the contents is 0 even though I have sent a dozen. And if I click “reply” to a PM received, everything goes weird and I find I have to go to a post by the intended recipient, click on their name, select “Send pm” from the drop-down and go that way... a bit of a performance.
If anyone can tell me the easy, foolproof way to add photos to posts and manage PM's, I'd be impressed and grateful.
