I posted this in response to a question on the art thread, but I figured it might be helpful here as well:
Indigo Feather's Guide to Uploading Art/Photos:
1. In the comment submission form there is a box titled "My Art", located between the content box and the CAPTCHA box. Within it, there are two buttons: "Choose File", and "Upload". First you should tap/click the "Choose File" button. If you are on a computer it should open your files. If you are on mobile, it will present the option of taking a photo or browsing your photos.
2. Select or take the desired file/photo and tap/click any "Select/Choose/Done" buttons if necessary. Your desired image should appear in a very tiny icon where the "Choose File" button used to be, and it should say "1 file selected" beside it.
3. After assuring you have the correct file selected (this may be difficult, considering the icon is very tiny, or that it might appear blank, which is also normal), you want to tap/click the "Upload" button in the bottom left corner of the "My Art" box. Although I've seen that many people do, I've found typing in the CAPTCHA at this point is not necessary.
4. Once you do this there will be 1-2 messages at the top, one chiding you for not answering the CAPTCHA correctly, one informing you that the resolution of the image was adjusted for the CB. Neither should concern you. The "My Art" box will now display a large white square and a text box. I assume the square is supposed to be a preview of the photo, but it always shows up blank for me. You can now enter the (optional) title/comment/secret message/rollover text in the new text box.
5. Enter the CAPTCHA and submit as normal. The photo will appear in the post under whatever you wrote in the content box. It may appear sideways or upside down, but this is also normal.
Things to note:
– You cannot insert a photo in a post
– You can only post one photo file per comment
Please add to this if I missed anything.

Thank you, Admin, for making the title show up! I really appreciate it!
Also, I know this was my thread and I perhaps should have included this already, but I have a piece of etiquette to add:
When making a new thread, try to make the first line be an applicable title, like "Art Contest" or "Fantasy RP," not "EVERYONE CLICK HERE IMPORTANT" or "So, I was thinking…" This will make it much easier for other people to see what the thread is about and find it later on. Also, you should generally avoid making titles all caps, as this fills up the screen and makes it look like EVERYONE IS SHOUTING! (See?)
Thanks!

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this Kitten! It is very helpful and much easier to look through.

We are getting a bunch of new CBers lately, and this might be helpful to some of them.

Just while this thread is new, I'd like to add some info about the Preview Button!
The Preview Button is the button next to the "Submit" button, marked "Preview." If you enter the captcha and click this button, the page will reload and at the top of the page you will see a preview of you post at the top of the page. This can be useful to check formatting and make sure you're happy.
When you use the preview feature, you can still scroll down and change the post, or submit. From what I have seen, the preview will not show any image, even if you have attached one. (@admins, correct me if I'm wrong about that.)
Additionally, if you find your captcha too hard, you can click this button to get a new one, because it will give an error that you didn't fill it in and give a new one.
Regards, Starcat (sorry for the long comment)

I'm pretty new but I figured I would add something here. First forgive and forget. Sometimes newer cbers (including me!) will make mistakes and sometimes older cbers will too. Just tell them what they did wrong gently and move on. Second I thought I would tell you what NaNo is. So november is national novel writing month and they have a program called nanowrimo ywp (I'll link it!) during november the idea is you join a classroom and spend a month writing a novel. However it's open all year! The codes are below!
The new CB classroom 2021:WSIOPCIC
Cricket Chatterbox Writing Academy: AFGKIFDB
Tokyo Drift: CDIACICS
Kyngdom Academy: AJLGBNTZ
Motivational Speeches: YFCCYIYJ
Picrew Pix: OXFCZTHP
CB comic:GDLTJXGY

Topping with an update about the NaNo classrooms:
Micearenice, who ran the main CB Classroom, left the site, so we recently transferred to the Chatterbox Classroom 2021: Realm of Imagination. The code for this classroom is YXXAXHZH.
-
Another update about NaNo: these classrooms no longer exist, unfortunately, because we don't have an adult mod who is actually an educator. Most of these codes will not work.
