Was I the only one who didn't know...

The forum moderation was outsourced?  I don't know why it's a big deal to me but it is. 

I know I will find a silver lining but wow, doestrogen that mean people lost jobs? Does it free up folks to do other things?

[frighten]

I haven't posted over there yet but have read some threads and seen the same people shut down a few. If moderation has been outsourced, it may be that another company is monitoring the threads and then alerts an admin if there is an issue? IDK, really. 

On another subject, do you know how to post a photo here? I have seen a couple of images but can't figure out how to do it.

@frighten I thought we couldn't post photos anymore, so far I have only seen links.

[MilaSmilasDogClothes]

I just copy the image and paste it into the text box.

[bstudio]

@MilaSmilasDogClothes Thanks! Can we do photos that link to a listing?

[MilaSmilasDogClothes]

Did you mean Ike this?

I'm not sure I can paste a link to your listing with a photo.

The link works but the photo didn't come up. I'm not sure how to do copy image on my Mac desktop.

[RoseVictoriaStudio]

Love the hearts.

Wish I could see image of my stuff and other peoples stuff when posting the links. Pics don't show up now...but we will get more views now lol

That's the closest to what we had before. You look at the listing and right click on the picture and click copy. Then paste it. Then copy the link and paste that also into the text box.

[Abbeyoaks]

I am on a laptop, I don't have the phone app, so I'm not sure.

@designbcb Where did you read it was outsourced?

[designbcb]

When I go into my settings, there's a screen that comes up from a company called lithium and I also read it somewhere in the big people's forum. 

[bstudio]

@designbcb Lithium are hosting it but I still see Etsy admin replying to posts and closing threads.

[JJJewellerySupplies]

I read it was outsourced to Lithium.  Check out Lithium.com for info. 

[RoseVictoriaStudio]

How do you get pic to show?

[MilaSmilasDogClothes]

You cust have to select "copy image" and then paste it into the text box.

[MilaSmilasDogClothes]

Oh, I dont know how to do it on a mobile App.  I am on a laptop.

[bstudio]

@MilaSmilasDogClothes I don't see Copy image on my Mac desktop.

[OROWoodworks]

@bstudio
That's cause you're using a Mac. ;)

This from a little Google search...not sure if it'll work, and it'll probably require you to have two windows open side-by-side on your desktop:

"Select an image you want to copy and identify a place you want to copy it to, like the desktop or a document you are editing. Hold down the "Option" key. Click and drag the image to its new destination with the mouse."

[bstudio]

@OROWoodworks I can do that with a screenshot but it's a lot of steps just to post an image. Thanks for taking the time to post the instructions.

Or I am doing something wrong or it does not work in Apple.

Still, the forums do not show in an iPad.

[MissPussinBoots]

At this time, the copy/paste photo option does NOT work on a Mac. Or at least it doesn’t for me...

[bstudio]

@MissPussinBoots Yes, all I can do is copy the url or take a screenshot of the photo.

[MissPussinBoots]

@bstudio Yup. It will show the green (+) icon for drag/drop, but it doesn’t actually load or paste the photo file into the reply box.

[OROWoodworks]

Ah, then I guess my reply to the chain above won't work...
