Where are my pictures?

By default, all pictures are stored in Member Galleries. Every image is tagged with the poster’s member name so they are easy for you to find in your own gallery. From the main menu, go to: “Your Media”.

Can I get rid of the file name on images I post because it looks busy?

Yes, you can. See this post, contributed by a member: Stripping Gallery Data From Your Post.

Can I delete or edit a picture once it is posted?

Short answer: no. Once an image is posted, it will stay on our server indefinitely. This is for the preservation of our forum and for your security. We will not sell or otherwise distribute your images outside of 420 Magazine. If you have inadvertently posted a picture that you feel may jeopardize your security, please contact a forum moderator.

You can edit the image’s tags, add a comment and share an image by navigating to the image in “Your Media”.

What should I do if someone posts an inappropriate image?

If you see an objectionable picture that has been posted, please use the post “Report” button to flag it for a moderator.

Attaching Images to a Post

The easiest way to include an image in a post is to ‘attach’ it. This adds the image to that specific post.

At the bottom left of the post box, tap/click the Attach files button. On a mobile device this will open a new screen that allows you to take a photo or Video or choose a file.

Once you have chosen the file, a confirmation screen will allow you to attach the Full Image, a Thumbnail or Delete.

Notes:
Attaching a file does not add the image to your Media Gallery. If you wish to keep a library of your photographs, please use the upload process for Mobile Device or Desktop.

Attachments are limited to 10 photos per post.
