Inserting FULL-SIZE images

[Johnny Vinyl]

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to insert full-size pictures in a post. Whatever I seem to try always defaults to a thumbnail image. I'm obviously missing someithing, but what? Help please!

The full size picture must reside on a server with a known URL. Select the icon at the top of the reply which looks like a picture frame and then insert the URL there. That's all there is

Thank you!

And for power users, type

. The icon Steve mentioned does the same thing.

Steve, can this process be changed? The only other site where I had to jump through hoops to get my picture uploaded was at the now defunct Apogee Straightwire forum. That site has been operating for more than ten years under old uploading software. At least there, once you knew how, you eventually get to a place a photo where Amir is pointing out above. [img...... [/img].

I have a Mac. My pictures are contained in various folders, and iphoto. All the pictures are identified some way. None are a site in themselves, so they have no URL. I don't have an account with Photobucket which seems needed. I send photos by email to any pc and it is no issue.

None of the sites I am a member of have any trouble accepting my pictures. If this is going to evolve into, "What's The Best Forum," then I hope the uploading of photos becomes easier.

Are you saying that all that stands between us and the best forum is being able to see images inline?

If so, your wish is our command.

When posting, go to Advanced mode (as opposed to quick reply). Then select Attachments. Follow the instructions there to upload your image and then drag it into the lower box. Next select inline attachment and your images will show full size in the post!

BTW, this change is retroactive. All current posts with attachment now show full size.

Oops, should have post above as myself .

Ok, I tried that. All I got was a big question mark, instead of what I uploaded, a possum. I will practice tomorrow. Really, though, this is rather complex.

Is this forum an independent startup? I mean, it isn't an adopted space in a parent forum like Straightwire is it?

 

[amirm]

Do you see your images on the top right pane and get the question mark when you click on them and attempt to drag? If so, you have to click in the checkbox on the right lower corner of the image and then you can drag it.

 

[amirm]

OK, I see the problem now. You are seeing a question mark instead of the picture of your upload image. Right? If so, don't worry about that. Insert it anyway and it will show up correctly in the post.

 

[Johnny Vinyl]

It works!

That schizophrenia (sp?) is a pain, eh?

At least you didn't quote your own post and answer using your other personality. That would've been disconcerting!

Maybe I should take the med that John posted.

No.

 

[muralman1]

I did it! A pat on the head or a gold star would be nice. Now, how do I get my whatever you call it picture along with my posts?

 

[amirm]

When you are seeing the pictures in the attachment browser, just click the right bottom button which says "insert inline" or something like it.

 

[muralman1]

I think that is what I did, Amir. See page 1.

 

[amirm]

Please write out every step you do. It is hard for me to follow where you are going wrong otherwise.

 

[muralman1]

Hmmm, this one came in sideways. What I did is:
1) go to advanced.
2) click manage attachments
3)On new page that opens (file upload manager) I click insert inline.

or,

drag image onto here and bracket it.

problems. I just dragged one photo. Two show up, with one showing horizontal. Why?

Looks like you are mostly there. When you use attachments, do NOT use tags. That is why the rest is not showing up. let the system insert it as it did.

Your last link doesn't work since it is a link to your computer :).
