Help! In the past, I have successfully posted a photo from Flicker. Now I would like to post again and include several photos in the same post. I think my clipboard will only hold the url from one photo at a time. How do I toggle back and forth between Flicker and Artisans Square so I don't lose my post?
Hi Sandy,
You need to have both Flickr and Stitcher's Guild open at the same time. There are two ways of doing this.
If you're using a tabbed browser, open a second tab with Flickr (without closing the tab with Stitcher's Guild). You'll be able to edit your SG post, and when you need something from Flickr, go to that tab (w/out closing the SG tab), grab what you need and come back to the SG tab, where your SG post will still be undisturbed.
If your browser doesn't support tabs, open your browser a second time (so you'll how two windows open separately). Again, you want SG open in the first window and Flickr in the second window. Whenever you want to toggle to the other window, hold the "Alt" key and hit the "tab" key.
Either will work.
It occurs to me that if you're working on a post for a time time, you might run into the board's "timeout" function. (When you work on a post for a long time, you run the risk that your post will "timeout"--and you'll "lose" the post
). Fortunately, you can protect yourself against this risk. Take a look at "
this post" for a review of a procedure we suggest to avoid this.
HTH,
Lisa
