How do I get the photos from my phone to this site?

[bbquiltmaker]

Click Add File and select the photos from your phone you want to attach or insert.

How do I get the photo into the body of the message rather than as attachment?

[bbquiltmaker]

Cgnstone, the video explains that

Thank you Barbara for posting the video, I learned that I should be using New Topic rather than Index, though both get to the list of topics to pick from.
For those quilters with DSL for internet, I have found it takes a really really long time for it to upload the photos when I insert more than one photo. At first I thought
it was not working, but I just did not wait long enough to see it. So be patient. I just love all the blocks and quilts people are showing and it is great
inspiration and gives me all kinds of new ideas. HelenW

I do not see the link to the video on how to post on the Forum. Where might I locate it?

[bbquiltmaker]

PaolaRB, it is the very first post on this topic, just scroll down.

Thank you so much for the video. To be honest I had difficulty finding the Quilt Show forum because I'm new to the Quilt Show store and Alex's Facebook.. There's so much to learn!! The last time I was on a threaded conversation was 2005. Hello, Barbara.

Success at posting my Avatar picture. Thank you

I am so confused about posting on this forum. Today I received this in an email
Today I moved 6 people's posts here. Soon we could have many separate Topics about the Mystery Quilt, so you would have to go to lots of Topics to see them all.

What NOT to Do:
Create a New Topic for the Mystery Quilt

What to Do:
1. Come to this Topic
2. Select Reply Topic
3. Create your post, include photos if you like
4. There is a specific Topic with instructions/video for adding photos, find it here:

I do not see #2 in my menu
I see no replies
I can insert photos but I am not getting them in correct place. Sorry
Thanks for support of dummies like me.

[bbquiltmaker]

Sewskeel, Reply Topic is right above the blue bar that shows the name of the Topic.

When you posted photos earlier, you created a New Topic and it was in a different Category, I think the 2020 BOM—several people did that. I have to move them to the Kaffe Mystery Quilt—Learn With Alex Topic.

I hope this helps.

Sewskeel, Barbara answered your question but I thought maybe a visual would make it easier to find the REPLY TOPIC she is talking about.
I attached a screenshot. Just look where the green arrows point to. HelenW

I'm wondering what size I need to cut squares/triangles to add to blocks?
