    One of the big and (in my opinion) best parts of the MOC, is the community of scrappers that fill the gallery with COMMENTS! It really is an amazing element.
    Many folks will just go thru the thread of the day's challenge and click on the layouts and leave love for everyone.
    But..................
    if your layout is uploaded differently, using a different site or host. When you click on it, it doesn't go to the gallery. Comments that could have been left are unable to get there.

    PLUS, your host of the day, is checking to make sure you have it all done right. You having it linked to the gallery is MUCHO important! So here are some fun steps to help you.

    How to post your page to the forum to help everyone come and see your page to leave love!
    SEE The BLUE
    [​IMG]
    1. Share BB [*img]Code Code
    all you have to do is click and copy the code under this title
    PASTE in the forum...you do NOT have to use the add image box at all! This will make a full size image and when anyone clicks on it...BAM they go right to it in the gallery! This is really great for MOC challenge threads, Speed scraps, and any other challenge.
    2. Share BB [*IMG] (with Thumbnail) Code - this is a smaller (thumbsize) image that will still bring you right to your page. (this is helpful for your MOC thread and challenges to come)
    *red asterisk is to keep the codes from messing up the post, they aren't actually on the titles
    If you are still lost, please post and we are here to help you!

    @AnneofAlamo Thanks so much for posting this, Anne. I feel bad for people that post incorrectly because I know they're missing out on love. I'm guilty of sometimes failing to take the extra step of going to their gallery through their profile if the LO isn't linked up correctly in the forum. I've sent a few PM in the past to let people know how to do it properly. So everyone, PLEASE LISTEN TO ANNE, SO YOU DON'T MISS OUT ON WELL-DESERVED LOVE! :agree:beat

    Thanks. It's really helpful to be able to click through to from the challenge threads to see the credits in the gallery and leave love there too.

    I have a question. I always upload to member galleries first and then go in and add it to whichever designer or challenge gallery is needed. Is that still okay to do or should I add it to the challenge gallery first THEN add to my member gallery?

    Hey @AnneofAlamo, my source codes below "Share this layout" aren't visible. Nothing, nada. Just says Share this layout and then all white below. Any ideas?

    that is a conundrum? I can see it on your layout?
    @lmccandless perhaps jill doesn't have a button or switch pushed?

    Which browser? And do you have any blockers enabled? Like ad blockers? I have a script that blocks those kind of things (java and flash, etc), but of course I gave Lilypad full trust!

    I have a similar problem if I try to use Safari (which is only when using my iPhone), except the fields aren't blank for me. They just don't have clean code, so it never copies over properly. I always end up waiting until I'm home and not using my phone. It would be great if it was no longer an issue.

    @lmccandless a little more info for you. Safari only {it looks like} throws a code problem.

    I'm confused why both codes are used as it results in 2 photos.

    You don't have to use both codes . . . you can choose to use the larger size or the thumbnail size. :)

    Like Cheryl said, you don't have to use both codes.
    In the challenge thread, I like to use the large image code {Share BB [​IMG]
