Hello!

So I know how to add the project pic so that everyone can see it. But I notice that on many reviews when you are scrolling through the written review there are some words that when you click it links you to an alternate photo of the garment.

How do I do that? I can't figure it out.

When you are on the review template page, there is an Image button. Click on that, paste the URL of the photo; put the text for the link in the next pop-up box and, presto change-o, you have an additional link. I really appreciate the extra photos that are included in reviews so I hope this helps you.

Okay, don't laugh but I can't find it anywhere! lol

I went to edit it and I DID figure out how to put it in the review gallery, but I can't find an image button...where on the page is it located?

Quick Reply won't show the image button, you'll have to use the post reply button, it's the last button at the bar above the post window.

When you are editing your review, at the top of the "box" where you are typing your review, click on the words "insert a clickable link in your review" or something to that effect.

It will open a new window, so make sure you don't have popups blocked.

Paste the link for your photo in photo bucket or picasa or wherever you are wanting to link to, then it will prompt you to type what you want the link to "say"

When you are done, it will give you some html code that you can cut and paste into your review that will make a link taking the reader to that photo.

Thanks for clarifying the method! The Image button is present on the discussion board but not on the review template.

I found it!

Thanks for all your help! I fixed it and now people can see the back of the pants.
