How to question

[Gator]

Don't know if this is the right place for stupid questions - but how do I upload a pix to include in a post?

(I found the avatar upload info and actually did it - but couldn't find other stuff)

This is how I do it...........

find your picture, right click and choose properties......copy the address (URL) and paste it in your reply.......code is pasted address

thanks - BUT - it is a picture I took and so I have to upload it to hoopscoops and I can't figure out how to do that.

You can also upload it to PhotoBucket or something like that. Then, use the URL it has in PhotoBucket.

I thought you could attach an image to your post, make the post, copy the image location, and then edit your post with that location encapulated by the img tags, but it's not working. I could have sworn I got that to work once...

sigh - I tried that - and here is what happens - it just displays the link!

any idea how to get it to show the image itself?

I just typed out a long explanation and tried to use your picture as the example and it didn't work for me, either. I've done this a million times. I used to have an image from Photobucket as my sig on OUInsider. I'm not sure what the problem is. Anyone else have an idea?

I was able to do it with swok's pic, but it's not hosted at PhotoBucket.

The forum software is too smart for its own good and won't show an image with an address that doesn't end with .jpg, .gif, or another image extension. That's why the photobucket link won't work: it ends in the big "?t=1193182818" thing. This is the same reason my idea with attaching the picture and then using a link from that doesn't work.

The good news is that the "?t=..." portion is completely unnecessary. Delete it from the link, and you get this:

THANK YOU!!! There is always a simple answer but finding it can be SO frustrating!

If you aren't afraid of a little HTML, you can attach a picture to your post and then put the html code to show that picture in the post itself. It's a little more convoluted than using photobucket, but on the plus side you don't have to mess with photobucket.

This seems to work fine.
