Adding images

[Tony Spear]

Where's the bl***ing instructions for adding images to posts?

I've tried both search methods and got zip! (hammer)

Surely it ought to be a sticky here or on the home page?

Use the full editor and it is at the bottom of the form every time you post.

If your photo to too big, either re-size or host it on Photobucket of similar and past in the image tags the Photobucket provide under the photo.

Thanks Bob,

So if I re-size it to less than 256 mb, I just enter my filename for the picture, and it automatically gets added to the post without me doing anything else?

Should do Tony but just use preview to check before you post.

I still use the photobucket route as it keeps all my photos available for other forums etc

Get Picasa free from Google, Tony....you'll never use anything else...and you can store your images on the Google cloud too.

So if I re-size it to less than 256 mb,

Kilobytes not megabytes.

Just save the picture on your hard disk then using the attach box chose the file using the file navigator. Click add the file. If you do nothing else the image will appear at the bottom of your post. With each image you add you'll get a dropdown box with all their names in and a button next to it saying place inline. Then you can click this to insert each picture at a certain point in your post. That allows for you to give a little bit of text rather than a whole load of images with no description.

Thanks Chems, as I was clicking on the post I realised that I should have said Kb!
