First do this (The < symbol) & img src= and quotation marks then your photo link here, then put quotation marks and this symbol > here...

< img src="nameofimage.jpg" >

Right-click on the image, whereever it appears on the Internet.

From the drop-down box, select copy image location.

Start your reply message and replace the text in the quotes with the Paste option or Ctrl-V. Make sure the quote marks and the caret signs enclose whatever the name info of the picture is. The picture should end as .jpg.

I believe that only jpgs and gifs can be displayed as an the internet graphic.

I don’t use the quotation marks and it works fine.

.png files? I don't know for use. I don't have any .png files, but I think those can be displayed, too.

You need to understand what you are doing. The image has to be on a server connected to the Internet, meaning you have to upload your image to that server. Once it is on the server you can display it with the < img src=URL> tag.

1. Locate the image file on your hard drive (C:\download\photo.jpg, for instance.)
2. Go to http://imgurl.com and upload the image file to their server.
3. Copy the URL of the image file that is on their server.
4. Link to the image as < img src="http://imgur.com/ygebg.jpg">.

Also, if you need to resize the picture add this info after the .jpg name and the quotes:

< img src="nameofimage.jpg" height="400" width="550">

Once again, you will take the excess space out of the carets. The height and width numbers will depend on what the reduced size of the image would actually be, whether you had to reduce it by half or two times to make a decent-size image viewable. And the size is in pixels.

Get a photobucket account. (If you don’t have one, that might take a little while) Get the pic you want on it. Takes only a sec, whether it was from your photo album or something on the web. Then load the photo in photobucket, hit copy, hit html code, and the link is copied. Click in FR on Post reply and hit paste, voila.

The picture has to be hosted online before you can post it. Then you post the URL inside the necessary HTML code. Example: <img src=http//www.yoursource.com/yourfile.jpg> The less than and greater than indicators begin and end the html statement.

Yes they can.

Okay, I wasn’t sure if .pngs can display. I’ve not noticed any .pngs in anything I’ve posted.

For later

You’re welcome. I wish I knew how to build a house and repair a car :-)

I have been using photobucket for probably 10 years. It works and since it is free I probably should not complain but it is really really user unfriendly.

Are there better free ones?

Both are easy once you know how but typing a html tag is a lot less hard work.
