Title: Images inline with your post
Post by: RailroadKits on March 16, 2014, 12:46:13 PM
Image 1 goes here:

[attach=1]

Then I'll put image 2 here:

[attach=2]

That's it!

Here is what I did....

Simply add attach= and the number of the attachment you'll be placing in your post. Make sure you've surrounded the attach statement in brackets.

Like this:
[attach=1]

The image attachment number you put after the equal sign has nothing to do with the image file name. It is only the chronological order number of the attachments in that post you are writing. For example, the second post I did above in this thread was for image #3, but it was the first attachment of that post. Here is the screen capture for it:

[attach=1]

One more example:

[attach=1] [attach=2]
[attach=3] [attach=4]

and finally...

[attach=5]

and the screen capture of this post:
[attach=6]

I haven't figured out another way to do this. Sorry!

Jimmy

Thanks for posting this I will give it a try.  Now that I've done my lesson for today and promised to do the homework can I ask a question? Some of our members are posting pictures that show up larger in the post without having to click on them.
Do you know how to make this happen (lesson 2)?  Is it only when you are linking the picture that is stored on another server?

Thank you Jimmy, I'll give it a try and go from there. And what John said on Lesson #2!

Okay, here I go!

[attach=1]

and the next one.

[attach=2]

Now, dummy me but why am I getting double images?

Well, at least now I can post the photo in line with the narrative. Jimmy you are a genius and I see you have the images at the bottom as well.

I'm happy now!~

To steal jimmy's thread.   

The way I pull photos in is to pull the photo into my gallery. 

Then while in gallery bring up the photo. 

It will displayed with four lines of code.

Drag highlight the top line and hit control C.

Then go to your message post and hit control V where ever you want the photo.  It will show the code but when you click post or preview the photo will be shown. 

The photo can be removed by deleting over the code line

See ya
