Stupid question, How to upload pictures on kbin.social ? (kbin.social)

I'm trying to add a new photo (a simple stupid meme to be honest) via the + button "Add a new photo" but it doesn't work. Please redirect me to a better magazine if this not the appropriate one.

Well, no dialog box show up, that's the thing.

Question for you:

Are you clicking on the rectangle that has the words 'Add new photo' in it, or this button?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No I am not :-) Thank you so much, this is the answer.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah that got me, too. It's pretty bass-ackwards. Why have a giant button for Add Photo when you actually have to click that little icon to add the photo. It makes absolutely no sense.

OK so I managed to upload the picture, now how to figure out to show a normal proportion of it (in the preview) and not some stretched thing from the early 2000's TV. https://kbin.social/m/Seinfeld/t/63926/Leeland-and-Kramer-reddit-and-the-mods

But I see you have similar troubles (with the stretching) so maybe it's not implemented in kbin yet. Anyway thank you for your very valuable input. I still feel stupid but I learn, bit by bit.

It took me a while to figure out uploading too. Exact same (not a) button. Exact same issue.
You've done more of a service for the other users by being willing to display vulnerability in asking the question publicly than I have in answering it.

I see you have similar troubles (with the stretching)

Pause. (I won't explain what makes that funny, but it is.)

Yeah, right now kbin has some issues with images taller than they are long being smooshed in preview. Surely will be addressed eventually (sooner, no doubt the more coffees we collectively buy) but it's a QoL update and not near the top of Ernest's overloaded proverbial plate.

This guy is going to overdose on caffeine, they should make a website buymeasaladandaskyr.com

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Maybe, but do you really want "throw me a coffee" to become "toss me a salad"?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yeah I'm not a native english speaker but I get where you're going to :-)

edit: buymevegetablesandaskyr.com can you turn that dirty?
2nd edit: having your salad been tossed is not such a bad thing, could motivate @ernest, although I know where to buy coffee and skyr but not where to get my salad tossed. OK, time to go to bed.

I figured the moment I learned what "skyr" was (turns out they make non-alcoholic kephir)

tossmysalad.com ... right along side patreon.com. I'm in.
