Posting pictures

Trying to figure out how to paste pictures directly onto a thread, rather than links that must be clicked on before each pic is visible.

Do I need to write more posts, or something like that before this is allowed? Hope this makes sense. :biggrin:

Thx, Bilbo

I don't know if there's a minimum number of posts before you can include pictures.

Just go to your album and select a picture. Below the picture is a link (the one with the IMG tags) that you can copy and paste directly into your text. The full-sized picture will then show up in the thread. Assuming of course you are allowed to do this.

This is the icon for posting images in your post.
 
A

insertimage.gif
brings up the place to enter the address of the image.

for example if you press the
insertimage.gif
then enter http://img2.moonbuggy.org/imgstore/flir-fart.gif

this would show up
flir-fart.gif



the

adds
the parts are what tell the browser to get the pic and put it in.

I never click those dang links and other forums I know would ban people for doing it.

Thanks for the input everyone. Still can't seem to get this thing to work though. Just end up with a blue question mark icon where the picture should be. Here's my link:

I was able to upload a picture to my photo album:
http://www.icmag.com/ic/album.php?u=112422

Then I copied the link directly to the right of the photo, went to the "grow diaries," started a new thread, clicked on the little sunset icon, pasted the link or "URL," then posted the thread, but no luck. Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong here?

Ok, I setup a diary, was able to upload photos as thumbnails, but when I sent the link to someone, each pic shows up as a question mark. The person I'm sending the link to is a non-registered user. They're able to view other people thumbnails without registering, but not mine. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong here? Here's the link to my diary if it helps:

If you see pictures in your album then you need to mark them public if you want to post them so other members can see them. A non-registered person will not be able to see your album regardless but they should be able to see the album photo when used in a post in public parts of the forum.

Use your album for your pictures and be sure the pics are marked public then follow the prior suggestions.
