+realityshownut(RSN) Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 I am creating a mystery (?) cache and want to post pictures in the description. I create the cache description with pictures in MSWord and copy and paste into the description. When using Chrome, it says Chrome does not permit pasting from clipboard. When using IE, the pictures appear however; when I click save, no pictures show up in the description, only the picture file name. Quote Link to comment
+Mn-treker Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 This is what I do. Step one: upload the image to the cache page, make sure to name it. Step two: On the cache page find the link to the picture. Click double click on it to open it. Step three: copy the Http address. Hilite the address and copy it. then click the back button on your browser. Step four: Open Notepad on your computer not Word!! Word may cause strange things to happen. Type this line of code into notepad. <center><img src="code goes here "></center> Step five: Between the " " marks hilite Code goes here then paste that Http address that you copied in this location. Step six: Now hilite that whole line of code and copy it. Step seven: on the cache page click on edit in Admin tools. Step eight: scroll down to the box long description. Paste that code that you copied here. Step nine: check yes on the two boxes at bottom of page and submit. then open your cache page. You should see what you created. Quote Link to comment
+realityshownut(RSN) Posted November 12, 2017 Author Share Posted November 12, 2017 Are these the same steps to follow when I am in the middle of creating a new cache? So far, there is no cache page as the cache has not been submitted nor published yet. Quote Link to comment

+Mn-treker Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 See, mine is for after you have gone through the creation sequence and have a cache page. You can add the picture with my instructions. Mine is but one of a few different lines of code to use. That link does the same thing using my same method. Quote Link to comment
+WarNinjas Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I have no doubt that your way works just the same as what I posted. I was just sharing the link of what I go to when I am inserting a pic. I will have to remember your way as well! Quote Link to comment
