It's been a while since I did a Q View. Used to be pretty easy. I've spent the last hour trying to put one together and add photos, but each time I try to upload a photo, I get a URL Location box. I just want to upload from my computer. Before the new website, all I had to do was choose the file location and click upload. Now, if I go to Choose File, I select one and nothing happens. Then, if I navagate away from the post and go back, sometimes there's an image file and sometimes not. Uploading all 640X480 low res files.

I'm fairly computer savvy and know how to upload and download. Just can't figure this one out. I'm obviously missing something.
 
You have to hit the "Upload a File" button on the bottom left of the message box. From there you can select the image from your files. just follow the prompts....
 
Since your using a computer. Plug your camera into the computer. A dialog box should pop up. Find the folder where your pics are stored. Highlight the pics you want to include into your open thread and drag them into it. All the highlighted pics should show up underneath the thread in thumbnail form. You'll have three choices - thumbnail, full-size or delete. Place your cursor wherever you want your pics to be displayed, and click either thumbnail or full-size and the pic should be there. Delete any pics you don't want displayed. It's fairly easy to do it this way.
