Can't Post Image

Post by Deuce » Wed Jun 19, 2013 10:43 am

I click Img and all it does is post img in brackets in the body of my message. Am I doing something wrong? Never encountered this before.

Find your image on the web (must be posted elsewhere meaning you can't pull it from your computer). Right click the image and then copy the properties.

Place cursor between the and paste. Hit preview to see if it works.

You can upload images from your computer using the "Upload attachment" tab. The Img button just gives you the HTML tags.

Help me find the upload attachment file. Only way I've been able to upload a pic is to first put it on my flickr page and then insert the url into the Img brackets.

Mr. Dave, it's near the bottom left of the page you use to post. Took me a second to find it as well.

First question: Ya, how did you do that?

Second question. I tried to pick a photo for my avatar but was told it was too many pegamixels. How can I resave the selected photo with less restitution to fit as my aviator?

I don't know nothin bout prostitution cep what I seen in the movies, but here's one way to do what you wanna do. Save the pic on your desktop, then right click, open with, Picture Manager. In Picture Manager click on Picture then Resize. You can decrease the megapickles that way. Just had to do it with my Instigator picture.

You can re-size a photo a number of ways but one way that is available to virtually anyone with MS Windows is with MS Paint.

If you're running MS Windows XP, there's even a MS PowerToys add-in (Google it to find a download) that adds a resize option to your alternate (right click) menu when you invoke it while hovering on an image file.
