Easiest way to post images in a reply.

Also, add the paragraph symbol (the letter p, surrounded by the carets) to separate the picture from a caption you might want to add after putting in the info for the picture.

< img src="nameofimage.jpg" width="600" height="500" >

< p>

Type whatever you want to say about the image you posted, all in the same post. Of course, close up the space at the caret.

LOL....do it like I do...cheat....cut and paste the HTML line and then cut and past the URL/JPG address after the “=” sign.

[rabidralph]

LOL! Thanks.

Here is how To begin your html for posting pics Put the lower than sign in: < Next type in: img Next type in: src= Insert image address directly after the = sign, no spaces: http://getlevelten.com/sites/default/files/styles/900x450/public/legacy_files/html.jpg?itok=wu03tk7C Enclose the whole thing with the greater than sign: > Here is how it will look. I am inserting quotes around it for illustration: " The next post will show the pic using html

That’s probably the simplest way.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

The key is to understand that the pix must be hosted somewhere on the internet in what we might call a storage tank. That tank can’t be YOUR [ordinary] computer.

A refinement is to understand or want it to be that you do not post the entire picture, maybe just a segment or cropping of same. In order to do that, you can either grab and save the pix as you find it to your hard drive. (rt click-—”save image as ____” and you have to name it something. You might then open the image in PAINT. In PAINT, you can draw colored circles or arrows or things that draw a viewers attention to some part of the pix you think is important.

Alternatively, you can download a program that grabs images from the screen. I use MWSnap which I like, there are plenty of them.

You carve out the part of the pix you want and again, save it to your hard drive. If you want the circles and arrows,
again, open the saved file in PAINT and draw. Resave the pix with the arrows under the name or under a new name. (suggest using a diff name)

Now you go to photobucket (there are plenty of other free pix-hosting sites) and hit “upload”. It will ask “upload what?” and open a sort of Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) window and you will have the oppty to specify the file (or files) you wish to upload.

Assuming it finds that file on your computer, it will start to upload, you will see a progress bar.

When that’s done, hit “view uploads” or “view recent uploads” or “view album”. Click on the pix you want to post. One that pix opens up, on the right you will see 4 possibilities for the code to post or otherwise transmit that pix. Click on the one that starts with <a = href = ..........

The exact code will copy to your clipboard. Then, paste (ctrl-V or rt-click “paste”) into your post. In an email or most other forumes, you will want to use a different code, typically the IMG one. You have to experiment for any particular forum you wish to post to.

That goobledygook will show up and will be the thing that causes your pix to post.

Generally you may want space above and below and/or to caption your pix.

If that’s the case, then the pix code itself and your caption BOTH have to be enclosed by the codes for paragraph or line-feed formatting. There are several other ways, this is what I use.

It’s like an 8-step process and seems tedious or confusing at first. With practice and repetition, it becomes much easier.

Posting an image:

General:
<img src="[web server location]">

You can't just snag a favorite picture from a desktop folder...it has to be hosted someplace on line to be posted here.

Best bet is to save the image to an image hosting service, I use Photobucket. In Firefox right click and select "Copy image location", in Safari right click and select "Open image in new tab" and copy the address in the address bar. Other browsers have similar tricks.

Example:
This: <img src="http://www.notablebiographies.com/images/uewb_09_img0611.jpg">

Tip: control the size with "height=nnn" like so:

This: <img height=200 src="http://www.notablebiographies.com/images/uewb_09_img0611.jpg">

Cynwoody adds this tip:

You can pre-cue a YouTube video by adding a t parameter to the link. Like so:

Way cool! Thanks Cynwoody!

[yarddog]

Thanks.

[McGruff]

The format is [img src=””] but replace the [ with a < and the ] with a >. Inside the “” you have to supply the image location. Something like

Just whatever you do, make sure that it is super ginormous so we have to scroll over several times and down several times and still can’t tell what the picture is.
