Photos

  • How do I post a photo?

    The New Post page has a button labelled "Add Photos" that you can click to add photos when you are submitting new posts.

    If you have problems adding a photo using the New post page, most groups allow links to photos in the details section of your post. So you can use a site like Flickr, Dropbox or Google Photos to upload your photos and then just include a link to those photos in your post details.

    If your trying to add photos to an existing post, you can edit your post to add photos to it.

  • I'm not seeing all my photos when I try to add photos?

    This can happen on Apple iOS devices if you accidentally limited Trash Nothing to only access a few photos instead of allowing access to all photos. Limiting apps access to specific photos is a privacy option that Apple provides but it does limit functionality.

    If you are using the Trash Nothing iOS app from the app store, you'll need to use the iOS Settings app to change the photo permissions that the Trash Nothing app has. Another way to reset the photo permissions is to uninstall and reinstall the iOS app.

    If you are using the Trash Nothing website, you'll need to change the browser permissions that the Trash Nothing website has in the settings of the browser you are using.

  • What does the plus sign and number on a photo mean?

    The plus sign with a number that you sometimes see at the top right of a post photo on the main listings page shows you how many other photos there are for the post.

    For example, if you see "+2" that means that there are 2 other photos that aren't being shown. If you click on the post to view the post in detail, you will be able to see all the photos.

  • Where are the post photos?

    Photos should always be linked to or shown with the post when you view a post on the site or in the app.

    If a post mentions photos but none are visible and there is no link, the poster may have forgotten to attach the photos. In these cases, it's usually easiest to reply to the post and ask the poster to send you the photos.
