Is your computer turned on?

[DCBryan1]

IBTZ NOOB! ;)

[tsmith130]

I think what everyone is trying to tell you, in their Freeper way, is that you can't post images from your computer. They must come from a website.

[RonDog]

Your original HTML was: http://img230.imageshack.us/i/39196546.jpg/][IMG=http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/8065/39196546.jpg][/IMG]

I uploaded it to image shack. Can’t seem to figure out how to get it from there to here.

[RonDog]

Not in this case.

The image is hosted on imageshack.us, but the HTML code was incorrect.

[al baby]

Fail

[humblegunner]

Print the image and tape it to the reply box.

The key is to use the magic tape.

Always use the magic tape.

[Textide]

This forum doesn’t use BBcode. You need to use HTML to post pics and the like

[tsmith130]

Ooops...my bad. I misunderstood.

[Scythian]

CTRL-F10 then tap the foot pedal twice .... ;) just kidding, I see you’ve been helped.

How do you know that? Can you help me?

Here's a good (but OLD) reference thread -- with tips for using HTML on Free Republic:

Actually, you should have had the headline:”I am rude and to lazy to research it, so I think I will just go ahead and make a half-a$$ed attempt to post an image and disregard all internet manners.”

You need to run apache or IIS on your home setup in order to “post” pics. Otherwise, you will need a photobucket or similar account to offset the lack of a webserver.

[IrishCatholic]

Don’t let them give you any crap! The red X posted just fine. They are just teasing you.

[RonDog]

If you are using a PC, right click on the red box in your original post, and then click on "Properties" -- to see what the HTML code for your image is.

At least this will show the way that FreeRepublic's software translated whatever you actually posted.

[evets]

This thread is worthless without pics!

[Vendome]

Wow nOOb, that guy has been on FR since time immemorial.

That was bad karma.

Thanks for your constructive input, member since Jan 11, 2010.

Maybe after you've been on this forum for a little longer, YOU can learn some manners.

[RonDog]

Actually, I went to html sandbox and then tried to use what I thought I learned there. It didn't work, so I am obviously missing something. The other comments to this post are amusing, and what I generally expect for putting up a "I am dumb" post.. Your post is arrogant and self important and nothing but an attack.

[FourPeas]

Speaking of being rude, you should reread your post #24.

You should talk! When someone on FR needs help, we help.

You have just shown us all that not have you no manners, but no class as well.

P.S. It should be, "....and to too lazy to research....."

[Vendome]

Dogpile!

[CAluvdubya]

You have just shown us all that not have you no manners, but no class as well.

Should be ".....that not only have you no manners......."

[Vendome]

Maybe he meant to be rude....

heh, heh, heh...

If you are using photobucket, right click on the image and select “open in a new tab” (or equivalent). Copy the URL in the address bar, and past it in the FR “Your Reply:” box. Before the URL insert <*img src= (except with no *), and after the URL place >. Your reply will look like this: <*img src=URL> (except with no *).

[Brett66]

If you’re trying to upload an image from your hard drive, that won’t work. You have to use a web URL for it to work on FR.

The code that Rondog posted at post 9 will work, you can just copy and paste it into another post and you should see the pic, then you can use whatever functional URL in between the quotes to post a pic.

You can also use preview before you post and you should see the pic in the preview if everything is entered correctly.

If you have you’re own pic, then you can get a pic hosting account at photobucket or somewhere and upload it to there, then you can use the web URL from there to post at FR.

[Brett66]

After you remove the space between “<” and “img” you could see the pic.

[ßuddaßudd]

Aww Jeez
not this again

[Vendome]

so you think you are equal to us? Get out-uh here! /s

LOL

Did you get the answer?

[Do Be]

Yes, I did. Thank you.
