Hi Robert,
Great question! The others have given very good solutions! My solution is the same as phone and emails....that would be: delete.
That being said, in two years being on this site, I have not had any problems.
Next, your picture didn't post above. As you get more involved you may/will want to share pictures here. So here is what you have to do to display pictures:
Step 1: create a Free Space page (call it "My Pictures" or My Graphics" (you can have many free space pages to do what ever you want. I have one for Draper Family Stories and one for Draper Burials, another for Pictures and Graphics.
On your profile page, look up to the menu on the right:
MyWikiTree Walker-5245 Add Find Help
Click on Add then scroll down to New Free Space
Step 2. Upload pictures and graphics to this new Free Space page. Make sure the privacy setting on the page is open. Pictures pick up the privacy settings associated with every profile they appear in. If the profile is locked, so is the picture. If the picture has a locked setting, it will not display. I suspect the picture you tried to display was in your profile which is locked, so the picture is locked.
Step 2.5 Next create a link to this free space on your profile page so you can find it again easily. Copy the URL address and paste it in your page like this: [ url addres here My Pictures ] ( this is a bracket [ ) ( bracket url address space bracket If you do that it will look like this: MY Pictures
Step 3 When you decide to upload a picture on the G2G forum, go to your free space page and click on the picture.
Step 4 click on the picture again. The picture will appear on a black screen. Copy the URL address. If the picture is not on the black screen the URL address you copy will be wrong and will not display.
Step 5 Ask your question in the G2G then look up to the top on the right side of the box where you type your question.
You see a B I U S X X | A A link icon | box with a picture of a mountain and a sun in the sky ( use your imagination) but that is the box you need to click on. Click on that box with the mountains and sun, then paste the picture URL in that field.
Go to my profile page, see how I set up my Free Space Pages. Look how I set up links.
Step 6 Practice, Practice Practice Try to up load a picture to this thread. Its OK. You can edit and try again, over and over, 'till you get it! WE don't mind. We all had to learn by trial and error.
Congratulations, you have now passed the written exam!
