How to attach a photo or file from the group?

Michael Rickey (AF6FB)
 

When composing a message, is there a way to insert or attach content from the Group's Photos and Files sections?

I haven't been able to find a way to do this yet. I would like this so I could have PDF instructions on the site for downloading and reference them with a link when responding to questions. It would also be nice to use the Photos section for images in my messages.

Thanks in advance,

Michael

Yes. Each photo and file has a corresponding URL. Right-click on it in your browser and select "copy link address" (Chrome, other browsers will have something similar). Then paste that into your email.

If a link won't do and you want inline photos, that's more problematical.?

Thanks Bruce, I will have to figure out what I want to attach before composing a message...so I can collect the links.

It would be nice if there was a way to select content while composing the message. But, I can live with this.

Michael? I just drag and dropped the above pic from another page in my browser.? Assuming it appears ( i deleted a url to my own group since you cant access that) than that works rather painlessly.
Except I did have to modify the html to uncenter this text paragraph.
Trust this helps, davew

Try opening a second instance of your browser and cut/paste/drag content from one to the other.

davew,

Sorry, but it won't show for anyone who is not logged in as a member of the group you dragged it from.

Files and Photos stored in groups can't be shared publicly.

The link is broken for me, but for people in the group it's probably fine. I'll give it a try.

I usually don't even bother with another browser session, but that does work and is pretty clean. I just start my post and then go back and forth gathering links and coming back to my drafts folder to continue from wherever I left off.

Not like back in Yahoo, where if you even so much as looked at another page, your draft message usually disappeared into thin air.
