There's been some issues with the board for a couple days ... perhaps causing this problem Can you try again, and see if it works now?

Nope, still doesn't work... Maybe cause I'm fairly new?

No, you have enough posts ...
Hmm... A pop-up window should open after clicking the attachment button (on the actual board, tho I don't get that window on android devices; Apple devices may be the same - but definitely should come up on the computer) ... are you getting that? Sometimes, a different browser will work.

On my android phone and tablet, the Tapatalk app works well for me.

so the pop up window comes up... but when i choose the "choose one" button, nothing happens. on my iPad, the choose one buttons are shades in and aren't given as an option to click...

Have you tried using a different browser on your computer?

Like Sonya I wonder if there is a compatibility problem with the browser you are using on your iPad.

Either try a different browser (not sure what is available on the iPad) or try TapaTalk app. I believe it's free on the iPad and it can be a lot better for browsing and posting on the forum when using a phone or tablet. I've used it on my Android tablet and really like it. Not tried the iPad version but I believe others are using it.

Dear Rosie,

Very sorry , but I,m totally lost in this system. Somehow I uploaded 3 flower pics. and they are not anywhere to be found. Much of the " jargon" words used are unbeknown to me and the many different permutations of viewing and responding don't make it easier for an aging old boy like me! If I was to send you pictures directly , perhaps you could post them in the ( right box ) for me. In a few weeks I'm getting some help from a " professional " adapting to my new Apple Mac and may be he could point me in the right direction with the O.B. communications system. By the way , all those advertisements flying all over the screen don't help matters either ! But than you Americans are probably better trained than us ignoring them !
Having build a very interesting collection of specie plants , mostly from around Asia , my aim was to seek assistance in identifying the plants with the assistance of the many members of the O.B.
Knowing how very busy you are in pleasing and assisting new member I would never the less very much appreciate your response !
Kind regards,
