Title: Some Help Please. Post by: taximan007 on January 25, 2007, 04:51:56 AM Just like to know how to add pics using the "insert image" button? have worked out how to do it with "add attachments" but being OLD and SENILE could do with some assistance.
Thank You Title: Re: Some Help Please. Post by: Ginger on January 25, 2007, 04:54:27 AM The insert image is for use when you have the URL of the picture (when not stored locally) simply add the url inbetween the brackets.
Title: Re: Some Help Please. Post by: thetank on January 25, 2007, 04:59:45 AM The image needs to be hosted on the web somewhere, get the url of it
the url can be obtained in the bar at the top of the browser, for instance this page is http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?action=post;topic=19450.0;num_replies=0 Highlight it, press Ctrl and c at the same time (this copies the text) Press you insert image thing so this comes up (http://) Put the cursor in between those two brackets (it may be there automatically) and press Ctrl and v at the same time. (this pastes the url you just copied) (http://www.templarpublishing.co.uk/novelty/covers/Hey-presto.jpg) Title: Re: Some Help Please.

Title: Re: Some Help Please. Post by: Ginger on January 25, 2007, 05:04:00 AM you mean when you are adding the pic from an internet site? Exactly that :) If you only want the URL of the pic you can right click on it and 'open in a new window' or something similar. The url can then be copied fron the address bar at the top.

Title: Re: Some Help Please. Post by: thetank on January 25, 2007, 05:07:30 AM This will not work with all pictures on the internet. Something about bandwith, but I'm blagging if I think I know what I'm talking about there.

The image URL you copy is not always the picture you want (sometimes they can be very crude/rude) So always double check that the pic you posted is the one you wanted! Happy to help :) |
