Hi Sycthus, when you click insert image on the post tool bar you get >

Delete the [http://] bit then copy / paste the URL from your picture host (eg) Photo bucket etc.

 

[Sycthus]

Right Click> Open image in new tab. That's what I do, although I use Chrome.

I was wondering because there is a red X, if you click Manage Attachments you can upload from your PC, you prob already know this .

 

[Sycthus]

On my screen there isn't an X, just a small icon will some shapes in. What browser are you using?

I get the same broken image on IE8. It appears you have the following as an image (whereas it's actually a link) http://yfrog.com/71gadgetsj. The image is located at http://img253.yfrog.com/img253/8692/gadgets.jpg.

I've edited your post and fixed this for your now

 

[Sycthus]

Okay, you've totally confused me, but thanks for fixing it!

I use ImageShack to upload it, which made a link to yfrog. I don't know why!

Do I need to put in the image URL ending with .jpg rather than copying the link? That was the bit I was unsure on.

Yep, that's correct - if you right click on an image you want to use, then click properties and copy the addresslocation. For example... to use the logo in the top right hand corner of this site, the URL will be : https://www.w7forums.com/images/template/header.jpg

Once you've seen this reply I'll split these posts out of the thread and put them in an new one to clean up the thread

I'm using Chrome, so when I right click there isn't a properties option. Is there an alternative in Chrome, or should I just go into IE for this kind of thing?

 

[Ian]

It's even easier in Google Chrome Right click on the image you want to use and select "copy image URL".

Have a test in this thread

 

[Sycthus]

Ahh, I should have thought of that. Sorry about my lack of intelligence, I'm no genuis!

Don't worry about it We've all got to do things for the first time at some point

True

Hence my status "Genius in Training" - Slap me around a bit if I'm wrong.
I'm at 6% Genius now and look up to all at W7Forums.

 

[Sycthus]

How do you now that you 6%? If you're 6, I'm in negative numbers!

 

[clifford_cooley]

Nah - Sycthus you are doing great - We are both here to study under Thrax

 

[Sycthus]

I suppose.

BTW, how come it says you are a VIP member? How do you get that?
