Image Insertion

[Wannabeagenius]

Hi,

How do I insert an image into my message?

My image is on the desktop. I tried to copy and paste but it did not work. Also, if I press the Insert Image button, I get a command to enter the URL of my image. What is the URL for the desktop.

Thank you,
Bob

Try the "Manage Attachments" option when you do a "New Reply" instead of a "Quick Reply" . That allows you to upload the file directly from the desktop.

OK. I can attach an image but that is different from inserting an image. Is there a way to insert an image?

Thanks,

Bob

In the Advanced editor, look for this icon:

Note: the image must be already at a URL (i.e. must already be uploaded somewhere).

For example you can upload your images to imageshack.us

Thank you,

So there is no simple cutting and pasting, is there?

I guess you missed the thread we had about this just a few days ago, which is a few entries below your thread right now:

Certainly there is.

Paste the URL of the pic into the editor, then paste tags around it.


Note: I do not believe there is a single website on the intertubes where you can merely paste and actual image into a message. The browsers themselves do not support this functionality.

Subsequent discussion in this thread is no longer about PF itself, so it has been moved to a new thread in the "Computers" forum.
