Embed pictures inside posts instead of thumbs.....

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

Thank you,

Just wanted to test. Pic removed so as not
to clog things up.

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

What if your picture is saved on your PC and not hosted somewhere else?

Test: 3 different attempts to get the same piture to post. What am I doing wrong?

Same as above but without spaces:

The board cannot handle spaces in the URL.

I think you have to go back to photobucket and rename the folder : "Wood Stove Pics" to "Wood_Stove_Pics" or "Woodstovepics" or Woodstove or something with no spaces.

Seems strange the forum software doesn't just change the space to a % or underscore, but it looks like it doesn't.

In HTML, a space is represented as %20 but the board tends to convert them to spaces.

So, the properly formed URL would be:
http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb16/flyer53/Wood%20Stove%20Pics/SierraAmbassador4700TECPIC2.jpg

Thanks for all the help. It's frustrating for me because, while not a computer guru, I'm not computer illiterate either and usually I can figure these things out. I've posted pics on other forums but I agree that this software must be different.

I took out all the spaces and entries but that didn't help. The tutorial I looked at didn't specify how to name photos but it did discuss folder naming. I couldn't figure out how to rename my current folder so I made a new one with no spaces. Then I tried to figure out how to move the pics to the new folder but it's not working yet and I'll probably end up just uploading them again to the new folder. It wouldn't take so long if I wasn't stuck on dial-up... Where's my DSL Uggg

I've just sussed out " " around the link, within the img tags, keeps a url with spaces together

Webmaster,

I, too, am trying to put a photo (which resides on my PC, not out on the internet somewhere) into a post on this bulletin board. Your instructions on this were, "In that case, it is best to upload it directly here - inside the post."

Okay, I give up. How do you upload it directly inside the post? Is that the same as making it an attachment? HELLLLPPPPP!

I'm having EXACTLY the same problem. ARGH!

Just testing

IMG_0722

This is the way that has been working for me.


I first upload the the picture to a photohost. Then I click on the picture and open it up. Using firefox I right click on the picture the select "Copy Image Location"


If you are using internet explorer you have to right click on it and select Properties then copy everything after Location

It will look like this

Usually you have to highlight that and hit the <img> tag from the top of the post new reply.

But on this form you do not have to. All you need it the picture location and have it hosted on a online picture form.
