Please add “Welcome to SW and Here is How to Do Things”.

I have been a member for 3 months now, and I have never been able to locate any Intro to This Site, or suggestions on how to navigate or do things. I have tried to add photos, but get a message that the same photo already exists; I have tried to delete photos and can’t. There are several other things I have not been able to figure out, and before you write me off as old and incompetent, I used to be a computer programmer and system analyst.

Thanks

Enter your question on the above FAQ link .

Keep it simple though.

Your photo is in the "posted images" photo album, which only you can see. Unless you make a PM, post, comment or reply with photo(s).

You currently have one user-defined photo album. Yet there is no photos in it
Have you never been able to delete any photos? A limitation to how many you can delete within a certain time is pretty common, but the first one should generally work. And could it be that you did indeed upload the same photo before? In that case you can pick it from your albums to insert instead of uploading again.

SW'S Help/FAQ link is at the bottom of all posts if you scroll down far enough. There is a sidebar that lists photos as a topic. One thing you can always try is to write directly to Andrew or Nuno, two or our admins. They don't always write back, but sometimes they do.

There really is no method to the madness here, I just sort of jumped in and winged it for awhile. It's working for me but I'm sorry I can't be of more help

There should be a splash page when you open SW saying either Caveat Emptor or Abandon all hope ye who enter here

Just ask anyone here for help. Tell us exactly what you tried to do and how so that we can try to see how to help.

There isn’t one. It’s just a website. Figure it out as you go.

I’ve been here a few years and still can’t figure out how it all works

Welcome to SW. You've covered it well enough.
