Uploading photos and images

[Calaf]

There are two methods of adding an image to your post. You can

A -- link to an external image that you have uploaded to a service such as imageshack or other server

B -- upload directly to this forum

Method A - externally hosted images

1- upload the image using the means provided by that host (will vary)

2- When composing a reply, click the button located on the second row of the tag icons (just above the smilies).

3- between the tags, copy and paste the URL* of the image

Method B - upload to forum

1- When composing a reply, click the "browse" button located just below the subject line at the top

2- browse to the file on your PC, Mac, iFad, iPhony, Android, Winphone or wotnot

3- select your file, which must be a .jpg, .jpeg, .gif or .png file. Note that the file must be no larger than 1Mb.

* How to determine the URL of an uploaded image?

Below you will see a thumbnail of an uploaded image as an example. Click on the image to load the original. Now it will depend on your browser...

in IE - Right click on the image, select 'Properties', hilight and copy the URL

in Firefox - Right click on the image, select 'Copy image location'

In Chrome - Right click on the image, select 'Copy image URL'

You can practice by replying to this post.

I should add, please don't make your images too wide if you are using the tag for external images. If they are over 800 pixels wide then change the tag to something like:
