OK, when I try and post a picture I get the link only that posts.

I go to FB, and copy in the addy window of the pic I want,
then open the pic icon and delete the https: stuff there,
paste my copy of the web addy
then post,
and what comes up every freaking time is the link and not the pic.

What am I doing wrong? UGH! I don't do this often enough to remember from time to time, so I WILL copy and make a word document just to be able to look it up when needed.

here is an example of what happens....

To post a pic here, you need the url of the pic itself, not the link of the page the pic is on.

So when you go to that link on FB, right click the pic and choose "copy image url" - or something similar, based on what browser, etc. you are using.

For your pic, it looks like this: https://scontent-b-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/...98223762_n.jpg

See that .jpg at the end? You should always see that.

Then come back here, open your post, choose the little yellow pic icon, insert that image url (making sure you only have 1 http://) and that's that.

So your pic will show up like this:

Also, I thought I'd post a link to a post earlier in the thread where I give instructions on how to post pics - complete with pictures. lol

Now you can book mark it and come back to it when you need to.

Wow!!! muahhh muahhh muaaaahhh! That was exactly the example pic I was trying to use! How didja get it??!! I totally get it now, using the pic itself for the address, kinda makes sense even to a non geek like myself! Also, on post #3 here it states to use the web address box to copy and then paste. So I was working with incorrect info! Thank you so much for taking the time Parker!

I got an email the other day that had the Apple logo and purported to be from iTunes.

The return email address was iTunes Connect.

It looked very official and stated I needed to update my iTunes account.

It asked for confirmation of email address, my credit card number, the security code and then the massive red flag:

My social security number!

I knew it had to be phishing.

I reported it to Apple without responding to the email. Apple /iTunes said they will never ask for credit card number in an email and absolutely never will ask for your social.

Just an FYI reminder about phishing emails.

Yeah, I saw something about this on a hoax page I follow on FB and I was totally going to say that the instant they asked for a credit card number, it had to be phishing - add that onto them asking for SSN and no way is that for real.

A good rule of thumb online is that no company will ever ask for your password, credit card number, or SSN via email. Any email that asks for any of those things is phishing for your personal info so they can steal your identity &/or get into your accounts.

Good catch, Anya!

Hi helpful members! I am wondering if someone that went to the community meeting at the reunion would be able to update those of us that missed it. I was thinking (besides the fun, love and laughter) it would be great to stay current on the "state of the community".

Thank you!
