attaching images......

[Senor Miguel]

how do i attach images to a post so it appears in the post? been messing around for 10 minutes and still can't work it out, must be a bit slow......

[MrG]

when you go to type a post scroll down a bit and click on the manage attachments options

though i have had a problem with opera nd other alternative web browsers with the attach function

[Senor Miguel]

i did that, and the picture uploaded fine..........but then how do i put it in the post? spell it out for the simpleton pls.......

Um, after it's uploaded, you close that window and click "submit post" in the other?

[Panthro]

When you upload your file, just type a message and click submit. The uploaded file will automatically be displayed.

[Senor Miguel]

but that's just it panthro, all you've done is link to a picture, i want to know how to actually display it in the post............i've seen it done..........and you can't just submit post after uploading because the post box is still blank........what am i missing here..?

see?

[Panthro]

You will need to host it on a website and use VB code

Replace the < > with [ ]

Just like that....

Yes, although it seems weird, having the image appear in the post is linking to it and having a link to display it is attaching...

If you don't know where to host the image, I recommend www.photobucket.com

[Senor Miguel]

aha tx panthro i suspected you had to host it, i just wanted to link to an existing image on the net for instance, but if that's embedded within a page i suppose there is no way to do that.......tx zalbor for the link, v useful.........

ETA: just testing........
