 Image files on this forum?
« Thread Started on Jul 5, 2009, 4:35am »

Picking up from something Snydly said on another post, and also a thought I had the other day. Is there any way we could put image files on this forum? Scans etc? A lot of forums do have that function and it might help a lot of people. Would it be a problem? Or is it impossible given the memory allotted to the web site etc?

Just a thought...

I cannot recall which thread it was but someone recently added a note indicating there was a function available to include such items.

Amongst the 'Add Tags' buttons there are several 'Insert' functions including 'YouTube', Image, Table and List.

Not sure if any of those will be suitable for what we are discussing but certainly worth a look.

Lets Test one ... ;D

The URL to my free Webspace is here with the 3 images on it.

http://chrisps.shawwebspace.ca/

I could not add the images to the page due to lack of direct URL to the photo itself.

Just testing. This is a link to one of the deBroke pictures I put on my website in connection with the 'Anyone near Callington' thread. I selected the image button from the 'Add Tags' menu, then went to the webpage in another browser window, right-clicked on the image and selected 'copy image address' and then returned to the forum window to paste the address into the image tag. Could be useful - I didn't realise the facility was available when I put up the photos for Zenobia.
