photos in my postings
« on: May 25, 2009, 06:51:44 PM »
What is it that I am doing wrong? It seems that the only way I can get photos into my postings is with the additional options and then they are small unless you click on them and then they enlarge. Size and file size are very limited. Others seem to be able to post full size pics within their postings. When I click on the insert a picture icon, it puts the bracketed img's in the message but no way to add the photo that is on my harddrive I can find. I think it is a case of I can't see the forest because of the trees. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

It took me a while as well ;)
I use http://www.flickr.com/  Once I have uploaded a photo I click on the photo. Once opened I click on the "all sizes" button and a larger photo appears on the screen. Just below the photo is a one line html code # 2. Grab the photo's UR........... copy that and then scoot over the reply area on SOHC and click on 3rd icon from the left "insert image" and then paste what you copied over at Flickr in the middle of what pops up on your SOHC reply.

Does that make sense ::)

full-size photos in posts are hosted online at sites like photobucket or flickr..... or pix can be hotlinked from other sites.

right click images and select Properties ...





probably something in faq anyway.
