Hey, I would like to know how to insert an image into a post with having to make anyone click on the link to my website. I tried the Img button upon suggestion, but could not get it to work. I feel that if people don't have to go the extra step, I might receive more feedback. Thanks for your time. _________________ Put a muzzle on her Turkish, before she gets bit.

ok
firs you need the [img] at the begining of the URL of your picture
so example [img]http://www.InsertYourAddressHere/location/file.jpg
then [/img] to finish it off
so i've got a file on my server called: http://www.graphic-artwork.co.uk/pics/02%20sijun%20jet%20thread%20copy.JPG
so if i put the [img][/img] at the start and end you get something like

Bob, first of all, thanks for responding. I, however, must be an idiot because I still can't get the thing to work.
I got the [img]http://InsertYourAddressHere part, but the location/file portion confuses me. Location where? on my computer?
Again, thanks for your help. I can't believe this is so hard for me to figure out. I feel like a moron _________________ Put a muzzle on her Turkish, before she gets bit. You don't wanna get bit, do you boy? |

only if you have a web server setup on ur Computer will you be able to link from it (seeing as your having trouble doing the link part i find that unlikely)
on your website, your image will have a physical address where it is stored on the web server ie my picture is stored in my web directory in www.graphic-artwork.co.uk/pics <--- any image i put in this folder will have the address of http://www.graphic-artwork.co.uk/pics/picture.jpg
so if i put [img] http://www.graphic-artwork.co.uk/pics/picture.jpg [/img] then the picture.jpg will appear as an image on this forum (picture.jpg is not in my folder it is used purely for an example) |
