Images in forums

[aviswanathan]

Can users paste images in forums. I see an option to attach files, but is there a way to paste image within a post.

There is an image icon when you post, it allows you to use the URL of the image you want to show

Let's try both

This is a link Directly to the image (clicking on the "Insert Image" button):

This should be a Thumbnail of the photo:

<a target='_blank' href='http://img535.imageshack.us/i/p1030038j.jpg/'><img src='http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/6734/p1030038j.th.jpg' border='0'/></a>

A New try: [IMG=http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/6734/p1030038j.jpg][/IMG]

That's my motorcycle, after a 300 Mile trip =)

Edited post:

Second try:

Let's see if I can post this one:

[aviswanathan]

1. I am not able to find an option to browse an image from my Laptop.

2. So work around is to type the location of image in the pop up window when I click Insert Image..

3. I am adding a picture of Dalian City here from my Laptop

[aviswanathan]

But when I add a image from my Laptop it is not seen in post, can someone verify this for me..

[jharling]

Verified - cannot see the image of Dalian.

When you click the paperclip icon in the Reply window, do you see a Browse option to navigate to the image on your PC?

Jeff: Eric Cartman rules!!!!!!

aviswanathan: The problem is that you are posting (browsing) a direct link to the folder of your Laptop (C:\Arun\China Visit\China Photos\Dalian 6 Feb\Dalian City 4 Feb 018.jpg)

The link of the image must be in some repository or server available to show it online, otherwise, the link will not reach (or know) what "C:\Arun\China Visit\China Photos\Dalian 6 Feb\Dalian City 4 Feb 018.jpg" means. You should insert an image with a link to a website, for example, my motorcycle link is http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/6734/p1030038j.jpg. That's a external server that allows me to upload an image and share it.

Hope this helps

Regards!

Is it possible to include an option to upload picture from Laptop which can be seen in post ?

With the current options available we can either attach a picture using paper clip icon or to upload after placing the image in some website and use the link here.
