How to edit advert

Post by mark1882 » Mon Oct 19, 2020 12:18 pm

I have just posted my Z4 for sale and pressed submit before I had loaded all the photos. How can I edit my advert, and is there a limit to the number of photos you can post, if so I will probably need to delete some so I can add the news one
Thanks
Mark

Thanks, I have tried that and whilst it allowed me select photos they did not seem to download which makes me think that there might be a limit to the number of photos you can show, I currently have 10. May have to delete some to allow internal photos to be shown

I think its 5 or so on each post, can't quite remember, try putting 5 on one post then make another with the other pictures

After you have uploaded the pics you have to press "place inline" or something like that to put them in the post

There is a limit of 10 photos I believe, not sure what the individual file size limit is (it's something around 8mb from memory), you only need to use the 'place inline' function if you want to have some control over where the photos appear in your text - if you don't, your post will just have all the photos showing at the end.

I have noticed a bug, usualy when updating on my Android phone, where if one of the photos fails due to being too big, it then refuses to post anything at all until I come out and start from scratch.

Best thing to do is check the size of each photo first (just crop it if need be, you'll find just cropping a bit massively reduces the file size) then attach a maximum of 10. If you have more than this, just add additional photos in some replies on the post.

Good luck with the sale :thumbsup:
