Title: Hello from New York
Post by: DMPopa on May 23, 2024, 11:13:54 AM: I am a new member from Schenectady New York.

I have a question about Insert Image. How do I display an image with my post using Insert Image?

The best way to post images is to use an image hosting service site to upload your images to. Once they are uploaded, for any given image, that site will give you a link to insert into the "Insert Image" functionality on the forum.

There are plenty of free hosting services that are quick and easy to set up. I use Imgur, for example.

If you get stuck, do sing out :)

Welcome again!

I've been a member for ten years and fought shy of the Insert Image function for most of that time as I didn't have (or want, or understand!) a hosting site.

However a new phone with a better camera made me reconsider the rubbish tiny thumbnails I was posting.

I googled ten best free hosting sites, picked one (imgpile) and within two minutes had uploaded a test picture. A right click on this allowed me to 'copy image link'
Then on a test post here I clicked the 'Insert Image' button and right clicked between the brackets allowing me to drop the copied link and post. Done. Simples.

Don't wait ten years like me - let's see your pics now! :)

I had problems posting too when I joined, if you want send me a PM and I'll see what I can do about getting you set up.

All best,

Dutch

Post by: macsporran on May 26, 2024, 12:54:38 AM: ... so, Steve, you right click on your imgur picture and copy the image link, then hit the Insert Image button here - as you say the cursor lands between the bracketed img fields and just right click and save your link there (between the img fields). I'll try it for you.

Post by: DMPopa on May 26, 2024, 02:14:53 AM: I got it. In Imgur I used under Share Options BBCode (Forums) to save the link. I copied this into the post without hitting the Insert Image Icon. After hitting Post, the image appears.

Aha!! When I right clicked on the image I was left clicking on copy image address instead of right clicking. Thank you so much!!!!!
