how do I send pics to " what have you listed today"
to start with…go to your shop and click on the item that you want to show…
next click on the bar at the top that says folksy.com/items… and copy it…
then go to the forums and where you want to show it.
click in the box and paste the link…it won’t show up straight away and might show a little box without a picture…as the photos are taking a long time to show at the moment…try that first.
There are other ways to show larger pictures but try that first. x
Thankyou so much . I will have a go.
No sorry not a clue. where is folksy com/items?
Go to the listing page with the item you want to link to.
Look at the top of the page, there should be a box where there is the web address in (the address will start “folksy.com/items”, but there will be more written after that). You want to copy that link, and then paste it onto the thread.
If you’re still having trouble you might have to let us know if you’re using a computer or phone, as the instructions may be slightly different.
At moment I am using my phone . I need to be told as if you are talking to an idiot ( ha ha ) .I went to my listings but then could not find where you said to copy and paste. Not to worry . I am obvs a visual learner!
Ok, again the instructions may vary a little depending on your phone and which browser you’re using.
This is how I would do it on my phone, using the Chrome browser:
I would open the listing I want.
At the top, you’ll see the address
Click where the address is, and a new screen will show.
The overlapping rectangles are the copy button. Click on this, and the address will be copied.
Then you go to the forum and open the post you wanted to share your item.
Click reply, and hold down your finger in the box where you’d write your reply.
You should get some options that come up, and one will be “paste”.
Select that, and the address will come up.
In the preview box it will likely show a brief description of your item, and a box with a cross where the image should be. Don’t worry about this, you might not see the image at first, even after you click reply, it just normally takes a little bit of time to show, so once anyone else looks at the post, the image should be working.
If I use the other browser on my phone, how to find the address is the same, but if I click on the address it highlights it.
Now underneath where the address is written there is a button saying “copy URL”.
You just click that button, and then follow the rest of the instructions for pasting.
Hopefully that helps!
