Insert a Picture?

MickeyC · 06-11-2011, 07:46 AM

How do I insert a picture into a thread? Have a shot of me standing next to an author and want to insert it into a thread but am clueless how to do so.

Thanks

There are few ways if using the main site:

1. You can upload it to your Pictures & Albums in your User CP. Pictures and Albums will give you an IMG link that you can add to a post via the Insert Image

button.

2. You can upload and add an attachment to any post using the Attachments button

. This will create a thumbnail that we can click on to enlarge. Or if you Manage Attachments, using the same button after you have uploaded it, it's possible to determine the link of the image and post that as well.

3. You can upload your photo to many a free cloud storage site which will provide a URL link for you to insert using the Insert Image button

I'm not sure if you can upload images or attachments, other than your signature, if you're using the mobile site.

My question is a bit more detailed:

- what is the largest [recommended/allowed] image size for hotlinked images from Photobucket, etc...?

Surely not this, from the MR FAQ:
"Graphics larger than 600 pixels width x 100 pixels height are prohibited, while those below that size are subject to being discreet: the smaller the graphic, the more likely it will be approved."

^ I assume the above is a typo or may be referring to avatars or am I totally offbase?

thanks MR team!

That refers to signatures, not images in the message.

^ Danke. Sorta figured out the image size hotlink limit as well - so far 600x480 is A-OK here on MR.

Thanks to Dreams for putting me on the right path
