Some of you may not know how to use all the tools that are available to you and I want to open this thread for questions.
One question that I have been asked is..
How do I insert photos in to a post?
A few things you need to understand first.
a. The photo has to be posted on the internet somewhere.
b. You have to supply a "link" to the location of the post on the internet.
The first thing you need to do to supply the link is get it from the photo that you want to post.
Click on the following link and look at the photo on this page houston.astros.mlb.com/hou/team/exec_bios/mclane_drayton.html
Put your cursor over the picture of Drayton.
Right click on the photo.
Select properties
Find the line beside where it says "Address URL"
Take your cursor and left click where it starts with http and highlight to where it ends with with .jpg
In this particular case, highlighted in blue, you should have this
houston.astros.mlb.com/hou/team/exec_mugs/mclane_drayton.jpg
Now you need to right click on what you highlighted and select "Copy"
Close the page you were and on and come back to the thread you want to post the picture in
After you have clicked on reply and are ready to post.
Right click on the spot in your post that you would like for the photo to appear
Select paste
in your post you should have this...
houston.astros.mlb.com/hou/team/exec_mugs/mclane_drayton.jpg
Left click on what you have just pasted and highlight all of it.
Then go to the section of your reply that says add tags
on the second row of that section, the fourth button will have a picture frame
Click on the picture frame
you should now see this
what you posted with brackets[] at the begining wrapped around img and brackets[] at the end wrapped around /img
Scroll down to the bottom of your reply and send message
when the page refreshes, you will see the photo. In this case, it's the photo below.
