In order to directly upload pictures on the WACA forums, you first must be a WACA Member and properly logged in with your User ID & password.

Non WACA members cannot directly upload pictures and instead must use a photo hosting website.

For WACA members, the process is relatively simple;

1. Directly below the left corner of the message box is an active hyper-link “Upload Attachments” box that you need to select (click).

2. After clicking on the “Upload Attachments” the window “Select files” will open with + Add Files in the lower left corner. Select (click) on that option.

3. A new window will open to your device (computer, IPad, etc.) In that window, navigate to where you have your picture(s) stored.

4. Once you have located the picture(s) on your device, select the picture(s) you want to upload and click “Open”. This will load the picture(s) into the “Select files” box below your message box.

5. Place the cursor inside the message box where you want the picture(s) to appear, and then click on the “Start Upload” in the lower left corner of the Select files window.  That will load the picture(s) into the message box.

6. Once all pictures are uploaded, scroll down and select (click) the “Submit Topic” option on the lower right side of your display screen.

Congratulations, you have now posted your picture(s).

Thank you for this information Bert.

For clarity’s sake, what is the file size limit for a single uploaded photo? If a photo exceeds the size limit, does the system flag that fact to the user?

Is there a limit to the total number of photos that can be inserted into a single post?

Regards……..

I believe that 3 MB is the file size limit, but I have not tested it.

I suspect that the system will provide an error message if the files are too large. 

I do not know what the limit is for the total number of pictures that can be inserted in a post, but based on what I have observed, it is not a small number.  If by some odd chance that the limit is encountered, simply insert the additional pictures in a second message.
