    Question Images in Posts [resolved]

    I often see posts with images in them, not attachments. How is that done?

    Re: Images in Posts

    Martin,

    Thanks, but I have additional questions:

    1. How to control where the image is placed? I believe I've seen posts where there is an image, then text, then another image, etc.

    2. I've used this feature before (w/ pdf) and the result was an attachment instead of an imbedded image. I presume the file type matters?

    3. Can I choose whether an image is an attachment vs imbedded?

    To make an imbedded image I upload it to my photobucket account online and then use [img](your link here)[/img]. Similar to posting VB code.

    Thanks,

    I was wondering how to use the [IMG] tag.

    You don't actually need the image tags. Since they upgraded, if you upload and image file, it will be shown as an image.

    If you want an additional image, you can click the picture icon, paste in the url of the image, then press the button. (8th from the right)
    You can also highlight the link and press the icon only once.

    If you attach a file, the image tags aren't needed. If you want to use a url, then you will need the image tags.

    I clicked on the properties of your attachment, and copied the url location. Then I started writing my post. When I pasted the url in, I surrounded it with IMG tags, like they are in the second link. I think there is an embedded space in the second one, which prevents it from being shown as an image.

    Try it with the image in my signature. See if you can paste it into a post.

    Thanks, OK, I get it.



    The point being that the image must have a url associated with it.



    Thus, if you have a file on your hard drive, the only option is upload it as an attachment, which means you can't place it where you want - it's always at the end.
