Title: Question to moderators on posting a pic in a thread
Post by: wrstlvr on September 25, 2014, 07:15:28 AM
I'm trying to post a picture in the Stories thread. I select "Additional Options"  Then I click on "Choose File" and click on the picture that I want to post.  The picture number shows up and it has about 170KB so it should fit.   So far, so good.  When I click on preview, the text is ok but the picture does not appear.  Is this normal?  Will it appear on the actual post?  Also, I would actually like the picture to appear in the middle of my story, not at the end.  I've seen threads in the FCF with pictures appearing in the middle and I would like to be able to do the same.  Your help would be much appreciated. thx

It's me again.  I'm going to do a test.  I'll attach a picture, and although it's not on the preview, I'll see if the actual post will show it.

Ha!  It's there.  So I know it works.  It's a bit smaller than I thought it would be.  Now if I could only obtain some help on how to place a picture in the middle of the text, my problem will be solved.

As far as having it appear in the middle of text, the best way i can think of is doing the Insert image function. Sadly it is a link not an actual picture attachment. If the picture in question is not online in some way, not sure what else to do there.

Thank you Meg.  The picture is not online.  I guess I'll just copy from my file then.

I'm only testing to see if I can insert a pic in the middle of my text.

Crap!!  It only copied the URL.

A lot of FCF members can post pics in the middle of their text.  I've seen some on the Polls and Stories threads.  I'll keep trying.

This might help:

The way pics normally work here is as a link. if you click insert image you get {img] [/img] except there should be a square bracket instead before the first img. I have to do it wrong so it will show the text  ;D
Put the link between the two parts. So if it was www.megforrest.com it would be {img]www.megforrest.com[/img]


Also when in doubt do preview first to make sure it is working.

Thank you Meg.  I hadn't noticed the Insert Image icon.  I tried again but it does't always copy.  I used one of the pics on my profile and...

It works. Perfect...

It was a good picture you were trying to post too.

Don't know why it didn't work.
