How do I upload my blood results please?

[ElephantShoes]

Hello, I would really like some advice on my recent blood results but I can't for the life of me work out how to upload a document to here! The options seem to be adding photo or topic. Can anyone please help? Thank you!

No - we can’t help. There is no document upload option. Other than images.

Sorry about that but it is what HealthUnlocked designed.

I can only answer where you are using a PC and you have saved the image, I can't tell you what to do if on another device.

If you start a new thread then below the message box is

ADD A PHOTO

Click on that and it will bring up your files, locate where you have saved your file, double click on it and it will add the picture to your post.

If you add an image in a "Reply" in this thread, click on the last icon in the row below the message box, it's the rectangle with the mountain, and again it brings up your saved files, locate the picture and again double click.

Thank you. I'm on a Mac. I posted originally because when I tried the steps you suggest it doesn't allow me to double click on the file. My husband helped me last time I posted results! I'll have another go but might have to wait until he gets home...

Sorry, I know nothing about Mac so can't help other than rather than double click on the file, if it says OPEN (which is does on my PC with Windows) then clicking on that uploads it.

It will ONLY allow you to click on files in the formats it supports; png, jpeg, and a few others.

If you want to upload a spreadsheet, word processor document, etc., it simply will not allow you to select the file.

The allowed filenames will be normal text; the disallowed ones will be greyed. (I am currently using a macOS machine and checked explicitly.)

This is basically true for macOS and Windows.

Why don't you just type the results/ranges into a post? If not too many this can be quicker than messing about with uploading an image.

Thank you both. I did originally copy and paste results straight into the message but there is a lot and it'd need a bit of formatting - not a major problem and I'll do this if I can't work out another way. Thanks again!
