OT-

Would it be possible to make inserting pictures directly into posts possible?  I find it much easier to read through a post if there are pictures that I do not have to open in seperate tabs to look at.

You could easily (i think) put a size limit to the pictures to keep the format of the forum readable.

Just my Opinion smile I like being able to post my pictures that way to rather than plugging up your server with our uploads.

I thought we did that already.......Oh, it might only work in certain forums - I’ll make it happen here.......
I may have to disable this if it is abused, or move it to just the picture forum, since it might really clog up the threads.

[img]  image url here.....  [/img]

But you do have to know where the image is....

so

[img]http://www.hearth.com/images/2006logofront.jpg[/img]

should make it work below.....

2006logofront.jpg

If you see another copy of the pic below, that means it works even without the [img] tags,
(yes, it does......that could be a problem)....

2006logofront.jpg

Now how about if we use a regular set of url tags around it, like paste the pic link and then use the <a> thingy on the menu above:
http://www.hearth.com/images/2006logofront.jpg

BUT, the picture in question MUST be stored elsewhere - if you attach it to your post, it shows up as the thumb (preview)

I don’t think you even need the img tag - just the URL should do.

If you DO NOT want the pic in the post, but just a link to it, you must use the <a> or Link button....
or, put the pic ULR between

[url] and [/url]

tags.

So, do I first load the pics to heath.com (where exactly?), then link to that in my post?

The linking to pictures is only if the pics exist somewhere else. There is no generic upload area. You have to either upload to a post - in which case they show as expandable thumbnails - OR - you can insert a full URL link such as
logo.gif

the above link is

http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif
