+klipsch49er Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 In a separate thread the helpful member of this forum taught me how to add a photo to my cache listing using HTML. Cool! I natuarally thought I would be able to add a picture to a forum post the same way, but nooooooooo, it didn't work. On the topic about cache rides getting stuck, I just happened to have experienced it last weekend so I thought I would add my art to the post. To my visit log for the appropriate cache I had uploaded a photo so I went to that photo, opened a link and copied the link to my post. I also added the paragraph tags before and after. To my surprise it didn't work! I noticed that many other had tried to insert phots into the forum reply with simular and various other failures. Can someone help me figure this out? Link to comment

+BlueDeuce Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Yep, just drill down to your picture and copy off the jgp file in the address bar. Then when you post click the little tree icon and paste. That'll give you the img link Stunod provided. Link to comment

Mushtang Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 When you're posting to the forums (not reading, but posting), there is a toolbar across the top. The tools on the left include Bold, Italics, Underline, Strikethrough, Text Color, as well as... Insert Link (if you want to add a link but have the text you click on be something other than the URL), Insert Email (lets you insert an email address so it's clickable), Insert Image (which will allow you to paste the image location and have the image show correctly), Wrap in Quote (which will let you put text in a box as though you've quoted what someone said), and Code (if you want to show some code without it actually being executed). Some of those buttons, such as "Wrap in a Quote", work differently depending on if you've got a section of text highlighted when you press it or not. Link to comment
