Quick Help - Insert Images In Posts

You have a number of choices for inserting images. READ ALL OF THIS TO FIND THE BEST METHOD.

1. To insert an image from your computer/device you can click the "Upload a File" button and select a file on your computer.



2. If the image is in your Media Gallery click the "Camera" icon on the Style Bar and your photos from your gallery will appear.



2. The easiest and best way is to drag and drop an image from from your computer desktop or hard disk into a post. You'll be asked if you want a thumbnail or full sized image. I think you'll find the thumbnail works perfectly.



To embed an image from some other website just click the mountain/sun icon on the style bar and then cut and paste the IMAGE URL (not a page url) into the box that appears.

 

Your images disappeared because you are picking up and posting the Photobucket codes all wrong.

I went into your post and fixed every one of them but you REALLY need to learn how to do this correctly.

Here's the image coding you're posting:

And here is the code you need to be posting:

Please learn how to do this correctly. Study the difference between what you've been posting and what you need to be posting and learn how to do this properly - or perhaps you could try another method of posting your images.

 

No Worries. Our systems attempt to make things work even when they're not done correctly. This new software does as well, but not in this case.

It appears that you are using the embed image process (with the mountain picture icon) AND selecting the Forum sharing coding from photobucket. The problem is then that this ads multiple layers of the same coding as illustrated in my post above.

The Forum sharing coding from photobucket is intended to be pasted directly into a forum post - not entered via the "mountain icon" and the "mountain icon" photo embedding process is looking for a raw image URL with no "tags" on it.

When you see the [img] [/img] tags- surrounding a URL you know its' already got image tags on it and it's ready to just be pasted directly into a post here.

Hope this helps.

 

Well, if you got that little bit of coding down then you could be ready for much more. Take a look at this "BBCode Help Page" with it you'll see all the various Tags and what they can be used for. You can manually ad tags to text to do LOTs of things.

Here's the title of this Help thread: "Insert Images In Posts." So, yeah, it only applies to putting images in posts - not the Media Gallery, Not Avatars, Not Signature photos, Not Classified Images. ONLY POSTS.

 

Sure you could have, you just didn't recognize it.

You simply have to position your cursor either to the left or right of the image (you'll see the blinking cursor) and click your "return" (enter) button. This will put a line before the image if you put the cursor to the left or a line after it if you put the cursor to the right.

As an alternative, you could click the "page icon" in the upper right corner of the post editor. That will change the editor from WSIWYG to TEXT. Then the image will appear as a image URL. When you do that it works EXACTLY the same way as I mentioned above. You can add a line above or below the image - though in this case the image will be in BBcode and not as an large photo.



I've circled the cursor in your post after placing the cursor to the right of your image so you can see it. After placing the cursor there - hit enter to add a line or twice to add a space and write your text there.:

 

I just took a look.

I need more info to respond. Did you upload these via a mobile device using the browser, one of our mobile apps or a desktop browser? When I know more I'll be able to answer.

By the way, which I click on the thumbnail the image is very large on my desktop screen.

PS. When asking a question about a thread/post you've made please do us a favor and include a link. Yes, I was able to search and find it - but please understand the volume of similar requests is quite daunting and searching for a post you made out of the 6.7 million posts we have really slows things down.

PPS. In this day and age of desktops, tablets and mobile phones as well as mobile browsers and mobile apps it also helps to know the nature of what's being discussed.

 

Are you using the "upload a file" button to add the image? Or are you using drag and drop?

When I see those small thumbnails I'm pretty sure it's because folks are using "upload a file" rather than drag and drop.

Here, I've copied one of your photos to my desktop, dragged it into this post and clicked on display as "thumbnail." You can choose either "thumbnail" or "full-size". But the "thumbnail is MUCH larger than what you see when you use the "upload a file" button.



So, tell me exactly how you attached the photo in that thread and it should lead to the answer.

One other thing - your photos are JPEG files - that's an old out of date file extension and you really should be using JPG files. They are the same - but JPG is vastly more common and is the accepted internet standard.

 

Here's the same photo using the "Upload a File" button:
