How do I post a picture? I've been trying to work this out as I want some feedback on some art done by a child.. is this possible?

Click the paper clip icon down by the reply box and it'll give you the option to add a photo.

As above

FranMath · 16/03/2018 10:24

Keep trying but it won't seem to post them. On the app there is no paperclip icon.. but space to download 3 images which I've now tried to do 3 times. Think I give up! Thanks for replies though ;)

Try using the website rather than the app, under the box you type messages into is a choose file button.

Try viewing the website through the web rather than the app?

Sounds interesting.

I get this OP - it works if I put some text in the text box and post the picture, if I just try to post a picture with no covering text it just won't work Confused

Are you new to the site? I think it takes a day before you can post pictures.

FranMath · 16/03/2018 11:00

Hi thanks lots! Yes I'm new so I'll try tmrw- I have tried through web but option not available so think Waiting could be right- I'll definitely try again tmrw. Thank you!!

On the app press the paper clip then press the + symbol.

FairiesVsPixies · 19/03/2018 10:05

Have you tried again, OP?

SparklyMagpie · 19/03/2018 10:07

Was just wondering the same! Very intrigued

FranMath · 19/03/2018 10:49

Ok this could be a total anticlimax after the long wait! It might be me reading too much into it. I want to give a brief back story but maybe I'll just post pictures and see what people think. It's a collection of pictures from someone's childhood (permission granted to post) and there is no representation of a mother or adult apart from one. Am I reading too much into these? Sorry if everyone disappointed by this after the wait!

Right way round ;)

What is it that you're reading into?
I feel like I'm missing something?

Soubriquet · 19/03/2018 10:55

I think you're reading too much into it

It just looks like a child's fantasy story.

Unless the background info you give changes it all

That last one with the bride and groom is an excellent drawing. Good perspective. It's dark, creepy, creative. Nothing weird at all, that I can think of. Just an active, imaginative mind. Creative people are kind of dark.
DD is incredibly gifted at drawing. I'll show you dark. Actually, I won't because I don't want to really post her drawings. I actually do worry about my daughter's art at the moment and it's waaaayyyy darker than what you've posted. Think Edward Gorey.

FranMath · 19/03/2018 10:56

And i meant female adult. Lots of fathers and daughters. Person had nightmares all through childhood which is why the stories for bedtime one disturbs me a bit. Wedding scene one looks wrong to me. Any child art experts among us?? Got more but these stand out to me...

TheVanguardSix · 19/03/2018 10:57

I like that there's a fishbowl on a table in the bride/groom one. I love random little additions like that. There's a great young mind at work there. You should be proud, not worried.

FranMath · 19/03/2018 10:57

Ahh just read responses. Thanks I thought I could be reading too much into it!

I think we need context OP.

TheVanguardSix · 19/03/2018 10:59

SO... is this is someone else's childhood work. Sorry. Didn't read your words. Just went straight to the artwork.

FloatyFlo · 19/03/2018 10:59

Yeah sorry OP I don't follow?!

SparklyMagpie · 19/03/2018 10:59

Are you possibly suggesting possible child abuse?

Apologies if I've got that wrong

Are the others the same type of drawings?
