I want to ask something else really, but it contains pictures, and I just can't see how to import pictures into the thread without them being huge!!

Have I got to put it in Photoshop and resize it, or is there a simpler way

Cheers

Gray

    Thanks for the pointer sriesch, but that is way too complicated, just to add pictures to a thread, and beyond my ability.

    I'll just have to try and describe my problem and hope someone will be able to help.

    But Thanks anyway.

    All you do is

    1) attach a file to upload as a attachment & make sure it is less than 5 megabytes

    2) Upload it

    3) After uploading, click the uploaded image icon to open the image

    4) right click and copy the URL in your web browser of the image

    5) back button of your browser back to the post thread

    6) Edit post 

    7) Click icon of a picture image to embed a link to an image in your post/message 

    8) paste the URL in the image link popup for the post you are editing

    9) Change the width of the image link to be 800 or less

    10) save embedded image link in your message inline 

    11) save the edited post / message

    12) done

    Thanks again, but I can just about do a copy, or cut and paste. Even Import or Insert.

    And you give me TWELVE STEPS just to add a picture!!!

    I've had a few goes, and I can't do it.

    I must be just thick

    Maybe I can find an idiot's guide or something on YouTube to help

    Many Thanks

    Try just attaching a picture and see if you can do that.

    All you do for that is click attach a file below your post. Choose your image and upload. See how that goes.

    It is quite complicated. I've edited my previous post to include a step by step guide using images, which should be easier to follow.

    Don't forget use a image 5MB or even 4MB or less.

    Oh, yes. Thanks. It's the main Galley that complains when they are over 5MB

    One further question - how do you leave the image in the post but remove the attachment? 

  • ChoholeChohole Posts: 33,604

    You don't,  you need the attachment.   However McGyver does have a thread over in the Art Studio where you can leave the attachments,  and then link to that as an inline post.
