How do I get a picture from gallery to the forum?

Looking for help on getting my image in the forum from my gallery. I am new here and can't seem to figure it out. Thanks, Kim

Hi Kim! Welcome to GingerScraps. Copying your image from the Gallery into a Forum thread is really easy. I recommend you have GingerScraps open in two tabs to make it as streamlined as possible. Open up the Gallery in one tab and the Forum thread in the other. On the Gallery tab, select My Photos from the darker blue banner near the top. Then find the layout you want to share in the Forum and click on the thumbnail image in your Gallery display. Once the full-sized image has opened, put your cursor somewhere inside the image and right-click. A pop-up menu will appear. The fourth option on the list is "Copy image address". Select that one. Then open up your Forum tab. In the Quick Reply box, make whatever comment you want to about your image and hit Enter. Then look just above the text box where there's a long line of little icons. The third icon from the very end looks like a tiny Instagram photo. Click on that little photo. A dialog box opens up. Click in the text box in that pop-up, right-click and choose "Paste" then OK. Your layout will appear in the Quick Reply box under your comment.

I had the same question, as I'm used to using the BB Code (whatever that is). Thanks for leaving the answer here in the forum.
