I think you will need to use the [IMG] button at the top. ( or write an image-tag manually ) This means you need the image you want to show to be available on the net. ( otherwise, if it's only on your harddisk, you, but nobody else will see it )

You could try converting an image to an HTML table. Bandwidth and diskspace monitors will love you for it ;) but at least in that case you can 'copy/paste' it
(though you still need to copy the HTML-code from the pages source) ;)

But the best way is use the [IMG] button. If you have a homepage somewhere, maybe you can put your images there and use them here.
( Some of the free homepage-services blocked the use of images from their servers for anything but the homepages they show, look at that too )

Hope it helps.

Ojo.

PS. : I do not know what this boards precise policy is on images. I can imagine they don't want this to be so laced with pictures you have to scroll down 7 pages to get to a paragraph of text. Anyway, success.

How was easter? Did the egg bring you bunnies too? :tazz:

If you have someplace to host an image the [img] tags will work well to post full size pictures where ever you want them in your post.

If not, you can simply attach a picture using the attachment options at the bottom of the reply window. Browse to the location of the picture on your computer. The picture will be resized as a thumbnail, and attached to the bottom of your post.

Thanks so much to you both ;)


Now... where is the dictionary for computer dummies so I can understand all of that... :tazz:


Maybe I dont wanna post a pic that bad... :)


And to you Ojoshiro.... I want what your on ;) nope, no bunnies here, "husband would have ate'em" and the only eggs that I like are peanut butter filled, and chocolate dipped.

So I did not get any of those either... lol



But again, thanks to you both for trying...

Step 1:
Scroll to the bottom of the topic reply window, find File Attachments and click the Browse... button. Find the picture on your computer you'd like to attach and select it.

Step 2:
Click the Add This Attachment button.

That's it! You've just added a picture that will be displayed as a thumbnail at the bottom of your reply.

Now to get a little fancier...

Step 3:
After you've added the attachment, a new Add into Post button will be visible.

Click it to add [attachmentid=###] into the topic. This text is where the picture will be displayed.
