Twitter: how do you access the photos?

Post by max_tranmere »

I still cant do it. I joined Twitter a while ago and I can read the 'Tweets', but that is it. There are options like 'following', 'followers', 'listed', an option with a symbol like a cog in a machine, seven further options at the top-right of the screen, but STILL i have not figured out a way to find the photos that the people I am 'following' have put on their pages!

I would be very grateful if those who are in the know could advise me. I posted something similar to this a few months ago on here, and was grateful for the advice I got but it did not enable me to crack it! Can those reading this do me a favour? Go on to Twitter, look at it, establish in your mind which option on there gives you access to a person's photos, then PLEASE post how to do it on here!

I would be most grateful. Thanks!

I am new to it so there is probably a better way but when the friend / follower posts a photo click it.

That takes you to their photo page and all the others are there to see.

If you just looking to click a name then see what photos they have posted I've no idea how it is done.

I will give it a go but I have found before that when I click on the person's profile photo it just enlarges it and I don't get any more photos appearing. I will try though.

andy, just tried it. I can click on the person's profile photo and it enlarges but it does not give me any more pictures or obvious links to them.

When I do it I says who the photo is posted by.

That name is usually a link and clicking it then takes you to the others.

To answer your question, Max -bearing in mind I don't know too much about it- I think that people on Twitter don't have a 'profile' in the facebook/myspace sense. Posting pics into a tweet saves them in other places like twitpic. If someone posts a link in a tweet, you click the link and you should be able to see all other pics they've posted (if they saved them).

As far as I know you can't get to those pics via that person's profile (unless they've manually included some link or other). I'm only guessing how this is so I could be wrong.
