Is there a way to post images? My "insert/edit link button is disabled. Is there a reason for this? Regards, Dennis.

I use photobucket to store my photos online.  I copy the web address at the base of each photo and paste it into my post.  The photo automatically appears when the item is posted.

To do it manually you type [IM*]website address of the photo[/IM*]  

(Change * for G when you type it.  If I put IMG inside the square brackets it tries to find a photo.)

Let me know if you have no luck.

 

PS: Cabbage taught me this years ago....thanks cabbage.

Dennis,

I note that you posted this link on a new thread.  Here is how it is done...

I went to your link and clicked on the button marked share, then the tab which says 'Get link code'.  Choose 'IMG for bulletin boards and forums' and click in the box next to 'full size'.  Copy this url text and paste it into your post.  Simple.

When you are typing the post it looks like this

IMG]http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn68/magnus100/STORAGECABINET.jpg[/IMG

(I have deleted the square brackets from each end , otherwise it would display the photo again)  You will only see the text while typing and in the preview.  The photo will appear when you post it.  Give it a try.

Every couple of months someone asks this question. As many time the web is changed. They still do not give proper, complete and easy to use photo instructions.

Post all your photos in one of the "web sites" like "Photobucket" watch out for "photobucketS" Then copy the web address under your photo.

How for some reason the "tree" symbol "above" between the movie "film and the Sun" is not accessible on this message board.

Write your message. "IMPORTANT" place the cursor where you want the photo hit the above "tree" and hit return. Now you can add more test or another photo.

You have to leave the photo in the original web.
