Maynard57 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 I've made a couple of unsuccessful attempts to insert images into a few of my posts and I'm just not sure how people do it on this site. Using the expanded editor, there is an insert image icon, obviously. When I hit that button the dialog box asks for an url "http://" I was hoping I could use a .jpg on my own computer and upload it into my post. If that is possible, I would be grateful if someone could clue me in. Thanx, Maynard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanx, Maynard I think you'll have to upload an image to a certain site and then put the image location in the URL field when you use the Insert Image button. You can't just upload to this site. There are websites where you can upload the image for free. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't just upload to this site. There are websites where you can upload the image for free. Good luck. See, that's what got me confused, Scooby Doo. You can upload images for your avatar, it just seems to be more limited if you intend to put it into a post. I'll take your suggestion, however, and have a go at it. Thanks.

Traconesu02 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 (edited) Maynard57 - The reason they are using a link instead of uploading would be to save memory on their server. The avatars are restricted to very small size files for this same reason. Even if they were to allow small pictures such as the avatars - could you image the amount of memory it would take in each of the posts. And then how some people click on the reply button instead of Adding a Reply those images would have to be duplicated again in the post. Links take up no more memory than text. Anyway that is why. Join photobucket - facebook or similiar sites and it works fine. Edited August 26, 2010 by Traconesu02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc31 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 (edited) So, how's this? [/img] NEver mind. I don't get it. I'm selling all my dinar and giving up. Too funny ... I've had the same problem ... I don't do facebook, etc and haven't used photobucket because I have other web alternatives of my own. Uploading an html file to be able to show a pic though or joining another site to post pics ... please. Thanks Maynard57 I was thinking it too!

Sorry, dude. I don't know. The only difference I see is that you typed < IMG > instead of < img > but I tested your code and it worked for me. In the IT world we usually blame stuff like this on gremlins. Tommorow's lesson ... inserting JavaScript into your HTML code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munsch Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 SHow off. Just kidding. THis was the pic. I thought it was pretty funny. So, Scooby Doo, how come in worked for you and I get html? When I look at your source code of the post it seems you duplicated the insert image twice because it had img IMG in the beginging and img img at the end. That and like Scooby Doo said sometimes code can be case sensitive. It is one of those two things or the mixture of both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Maynard57, That's exactly what I do on all of mine ---- I have a huge Photobucket and created an album specifically for the Dinar Research. When I post to the multiple sites, it gives me all the stats, who, what, when, and where. If you like, we could set up a time and do a GoTo Meeting and I could show you how. Once you view it done once, you're all gold!!!!! Just let me know and I'll set up the meeting time --- should only take 15 minutes. Have a great evening, Scooter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maynard57 Posted August 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Thanks all you guys. I'll try these ideas when the weekend comes. I suppose I could also consult one of my kids on this, but I didn't make an appointment to see either one of them. When we have the post-RV bash, the ludefisk is on me!

If I display the actual text then I will just get another image to appear, not really as complicated as it looks though. I hope this helps some.

Traconesu02 Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Using photobucket just select the image that you wish to share and when you see this share box appear on the left of the screen click on image code one time and it will copy to the clipboard. Then click in your body of your post or reply where you wish to display the image and while holding down the control key press the V key to paste the code into your letter.

Scooter Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 Inside Track, Thanks! I forgot to mention this method, particularly from news sites. Essentially, when your at the website where the graphic resides, put your mouse on the image and click mouse right. You'll be asked to copy or save the "IMAGE LOCATION" OR "IMAGE LINK". Click one of those and paste that link inside DinarVets "IMAGE" command --- Works like a charm!!!! Something like the CBI Graphics: Additionally, I use a product called "Snag-It" V10.0 if I want to consolidate multiple images together. I hope this helps and don't hesitate to ping me if there are additional questions. Best regards, Scooter Scooter....Sensational MAP!!! Was wondering how you uploaded the graphic!!!
