Hi, user assistance folks!
I want to share an album on my profile, but I am stuck in a cycle of doom!
When I click on "add an album", it tells me that I already have a profile so I click on the link to edit it. Then on the left side tool bar, I click on albums and photos.
There I can see three copies of photos I tried to upload onto posts before I realized that I can't upload photos to posts yet.
Here is where it is confusing: While the album shows up on that page, I cannot figure out how to make it public (since my profile settings are already set to do so). Nor can I edit the photos to eliminate the copies.
So I am missing something really basic. Can you help?
Thank you!!

I believe that you need to get your post count over 10 before you can do this.

You should be able to upload the pictures to BF's gallery. Then in your post you can just tell us that you put some in the Gallery and someone might find them and post them in the thread for you.

You can also upload the pics to some other hosting site like imgur.com and just obfuscate the sharing URL to get to them. Usually deleting the https:// and putting a space on either side of the period before the domain suffix IE: imgur.com should be imgur . com. Many of the members here are smart enough to make that work again as a link.

Go to some other threads and share in the conversation and you'll have 10 posts soon.

I have the same issue. I see in threads where users are finding pics which are posted to albums or a user's gallery and posting pics in a thread for them. But when I go to gallery and try to upload a photo it gives me a message "Our records show that you have already registered under the name of wildOG. If you have lost your password, click here. If you would like to modify your profile, click here." If I go to bikeforums[net]/g/albums and click "upload now" it leads me to the same message.

Ok, I think I see... if I attempt to upload a photo to a thread it gives me the "you need 10 posts to upload a photo" but it does upload the photo to the gallery section under recent and it shows up under your user album just for trying. Trying to upload the photo to the gallery directly, it doesn't let you though.

wildOG Thanks for figuring that out. Another piece of information that might help the website developers fix the long standing issues with the Gallery!
