no image in post - just link

[FreezerBoy]

Under POST REPLY (NOT Quick Reply) you'll see 2 buttons above the message field. ICMag Gallery has your old pics. Unfortunately, the photo names are gone and the thumbnails horribly cropped, making it hard to tell what you're looking for or at. Once you find your photo, click on it. This will NOT put the photo in your post. It will, however, give you a ubb code that you can cut and paste. Unfortunately (that word keeps coming up) the "thumbnail in post" feature is gone now so, the pic shows in all its bandwidth choking glory. Haven't tried the Forum Albums yet. Seems silly to maintain a dozen different galleries per person. Why in the world would one want separate albums for every forum?

You have to have your options set to "enhanced interface" under "message editor interface" on your options page.
Then you can drag and drop pics into your posts.

or maybe im really stoned

Maybe but, you're still really right. Tried typing in the THUMB to get a thumbnail sized pic in the post but, nooooooooo. No cake for Hitler and no thumbs for us.

I think I've got it now:

 

[Greyskull]

I think I figured it out!

 

[Greyskull]

I think I got it for sure...

Don't know if I am doing it "right"... but i am doing it!

I made the adjustment per dongle's suggestion. click on "reply".... click on "forum albums".... "open" the album... select an image, the right click to "open link in new window", click on the text in the "BB Code" box to highlight it... "copy" and then "paste" it into the reply box.

Wish it wasn't such a big ass image....

 

[petemoss]

You got it alright, Greyskull! Nice animated gifs didn't know we could display those.

How did you get your avatar pic changed? System won't let me upload animated pic as avatar!

 

[Greyskull]

^^^ That is some nice ass walking there yo! ^^^
I haven't done anything with my avatar as of yet.... I changed it from the LAKER "L" to the skull and cross bones a while ago... I tried to re-use my animated southpark avatar a days after the new look rolled out, but it wouldn't let me upload an animated pic... I imagine sooner or later the powers that be will see it and go "how come greyskull thinks he can get away with that?"

How come I can click on your pic there and it redirects me to another page for viewing (thats what I want... normal sized pic in the post that can be blown up in new window)?

I still can't post a pic. What is "BB code"?

Greyskull, thanks for the info! I was able to load an animated gif to my old gallery and to my new album but could not use the gif for an avatar or signature pic. If you want a small pic in your post that can be clicked to open a full sized pic in a new tab, this is what you need to do: manually type in the code. The new software should do that automatically, but right now it's not working right. This is what you want to display in your post:
When you left click the pic, it acts as a link to open a large version in a new tab.

You need to type in this:
[URL="http://www.icmag.com/ic/album.php?albumid=188&pictureid=2004"][IMG]http://www.icmag.com/ic/userimages/thumbnails/2/8058f4d058c613b50d81e3d34f2de0c0_2004.jpg?dl=1232153892[/IMG][/URL]

The first address is the location of the full-sized image, and the second address is the location of the thumbnail. You get those locations by right clicking the image and choosing Properties from the drop down menu. Copy and paste. No spaces in the code.

How do I get to my old gallery without using a reply page? I'd like to delete some images from it, but can't figure out how to get to it?

Also, is this image insertion thing actually working? I just get a new page with a fullsize image when I 'click and drag' into the reply, and the reply is gone. I'm not sure if I like all this new stuff much...

 

[petemoss]

Elevator Man,
You can go to top of this page and User Menu/ Your Profile and you should see a button for your old gallery.

Lean Green,
When you are looking at a full-size picture, just below the image you should see the URLs (location or address) of the image.
BB I believe is Bulletin Board - a simplified HTML code for forum postings. You can copy and paste the URLs.

Thanks for the tips - will try it out. I would never have found the gallery on my own! Though I still don't understand why all this faffing about is necessary. PHP forums are not usually this complex for posting images...
