BIG MAC Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Simple as that really , I thought I could cut and paste straight into posts but apparently not?Did there not also used to be an 'insert image' button or am I imagining things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre ZFP Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Clair kindly made a 'Sticky' to explain this and many other thingshttp://www.completefrance.com/cs/forums/1758955/ShowPost.aspxYou can't just cut 'n paste pics into this forum as the server would quickly run out of space so you have to create a link. You cannot link to a pic on your local PC as it will likely have a dynamic address and in any case when you turn it off the link is lost. You need a picture server like Photobucket for example. Anyway, it's all in the StickyGood luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 The only way I've ever managed to do this is very clunky and involves Photobucket or a similar image hosting site. There's a post on how to do it at the top of the Photography board, iirc. Sorry, Pierre! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolybanana Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 But I am not sure that Sweet17's isn't a bit bigger and had a moat that goes right round! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillan Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 [quote user="gardengirl "]Love your house, Teapot! [:D][/quote]DittoThe reason it worked is because the link is from a website and the html has been embed in to the forum just as in the same way as Photobucket. Photobucket is just a common photo hosting website but there are many more and the principle is the same. There's probably a bit of misunderstanding, we thought you meant photo's stored on your own PC which you can't do, you didn't mention that you had the photo's on the web somewhere else which is not a problem.

Quillan Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I forgot to mention. Please check the size of the photo before posting, if it is over 400 pixels wide resize it as it will effect the width of the post and the reply button will move further to right so it will not become immediately noticeable. If that happens and it's a real problem the moderators may edit the post to remove the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
