Morning, kids.
Hey, I’ve got some pictures I’d like to post (for the department of self-promotion 
). I’ve got them on my MS Outlook mailbox. How do I get them posted on the board? HELP!
Tom
Well Tom, I’ll have a go.
The easiest way to explain it is to suggest that you visit a thread that has a picture posted in it. “Hanging with Joanie” is one such that is recent. Go to the post that has the picture in it, and click “edit.” You don’t have permission to change the text of the post, but you will get to see the code that generates the image. It’s down at the bottom. Transplant that code to your own post, BUT be sure to point it at your own picture.
Generally, this means you have to have a web page somewhere you can upload the picture to. You then point the image request in your post to the URL and path of your picture so that it will be loaded when someone reads what you wrote. If you have a website at foo.bar.com, and your part of it is down in /user/webpages/tom, and your picture is called “cute.pic”, then the full URL and path would look like this:
foo.bar.com/user/webpages/tom/cute.pic
Use that instead of the URL and path to the picture of Joanie, et al.
I didn’t try to reproduce the code here because representing the angle brackets is a problem. If I copied the code out of the “Joanie” post, you’d see the picture here as well until you clicked “edit.”
(img src=“INSERT IMAGE URL HERE”)
but replace the “()” symbols with the “<>” symbols.
Oh, and you’re going to have to upload that picture to a server which does not require you to log in to see the picture, and allows hotlinking. try envy.nu
