How do you insert a picture into a post?(Resolved)

[longwolf]

I know how to attach files to a post.
But how do you insert pictures so that they can be seen without downloading them?

It's automatiic. If you post a .jpg, it is displayed for you. You can use the image tags to display additional files, and there is a file limit, of I think 2 files. (that's all i've ever tried to upload)

I posted a couple of gif's a while back and they just went up as attachments.

But you are saying that that jpg's will work?

Also, can you show me what you mean by using image tags?

[dglienna]

The forum software was upgraded a while back, and now it displays certain attachments. JPG's work. Other's (like bmp) you have to click on

Pasted Image First



Up load your image, and copy the attachment properties location to the clipboard. Edit the thread again, and click the Insert Image (Yellow Postcard like icon) next to the Insert Hyperlink (Globe). Paste in the image and click OK. You should see code like this:

Your inserted image will be displayed.
Attachments are automatically displayed. (below is attached image)

Thanks David!

I'll try it on my next VB6 post.

You can post a picture in the Forum Test area at the bottom of the main page. Nobody cares about trying new things out there. I'm going to leave my images, as the first one is linked to a Chit Chat post.

It's working great.
Just had to remove the underscores from the 1st IMG tag.

You can upload a max of 5 attachemnts per thread. And .BMPs work fine.

[dglienna]

That's nice. I'll remember that!

I thought that you may be limited to just image attachments but it 5 attachments total.

Be aware that images add to your overall attachment limit. Everyone has a limit for the total amount of storage they get. As such, you may want to avoid uploading larger file types such as bmps.

Brad!
