Hello Allan M :)

To add an image to a group post:

  • Go to the web page where the image is that you want to add
  • Right-click on the centre of the image and click Copy image address
  • On PurplePort, go to the description box of the group post you've created and click the Insert/edit image button
  • Paste the image address into the Source box
  • Click OK 

The image will now be displayed in the description box.

Thank you, have the image on my phone. In my gallery. Not sure, if what you say will work.

The image has to be in a publicly-accessible location on the web.  PP does not support the direct uploading of images to a group post from your phone/PC.

To add an image to a group post, the image must appear somewhere online. If the image is on your phone only, you cannot add it to a group post.

You could create an image album on PurplePort and upload the image (or images) directly into the album. Then you can copy the image address of the image (or images) to add to your for sale post :)

I recommend going to your Image Manager, selecting the images you want to show, and using the Create a Share-a-shoot button.

You can then choose which group to post in, and update the pre-filled text with suitable descriptions.
