Yes, you click on the photo attachment and copy the URL shown and then edit your post by using 'Insert image URL' button (the one with the mountains and the sun), pasting in the URL you copied.


Does that make sense?

If you mean a picture from the web you follow moo's instructions above but make sure the address you put in is the full address to the picture itself.


If it's a file on your computer you first attach as a file then when that is posted, right click and copy the URL/address and go back to moo's instructions again



Boom

One should actually have written 'Moos's instructions'. As in Bridget Jones's Diary....a handy populist reference to keep you on track there Mr Jack.

I had as little trouble with this at first too - the easiest way is to right click the image you want, select 'view image info' and a box will appear headed 'page info' with many lines of URLs including the one relating to your image which should be highlighted. Simply copy this then return to your post, select the 'insert image URL' button, delete the http:// it starts with and paste in the line you copied from the 'page info' window. Voila!

Although be aware that by doing this (described by maxxi) anyone who clicks into the thread will be using the bandwidth of the person who is hosting the image. Can be a problem if it's a personal website or personally hosted image. Used to be considered very poor "netiquette" to do this, esp if the end result is that you massively increase the host's bandwidth. Not sure if it is considered the same now?


All other forums I regularly participate have a clear ban on hotlinking, you must host the image yourself. {Edited to say they're all techie forums and probably have had that rule in place for ages, so may not be relevant to something like the EDF}

On my own pics (rather than those I find on line) I use MS Office Picture Manager (r click image and select edit option, 'resize' then tick 'predefined width and height' box and choose 'web large' in drop-down menu. This changes a typical pic from say 2.8MB to 125KB.

Under the video on youtube, there will be an option to "share". Click that, and further options will appear, one of which is "embed". Click that, and some code will appear l. Copy the code, and paste it un to your post on here, and hey presto, the video should appear.

    • Hello, I'm looking for an entertainer for my 9 year old son's birthday party. Looking for someone who can organise some games for the kids as my son and his friends are quite active. Regards, Sue
    • My son’s primary school hatched duck eggs, probably under this scheme around 12 years ago.  We were all very upset to hear that 2 of the (5 year old) boys had knocked the incubator over & all eggs smashed.   feeling a lot less sad about that now!  
    • What would I do about cyclists?  The failed Tory manfesto commitment to train all kids was an excellent proposal.  Public information campaigns aimed at all road users, rather than singling some out, to more considerately share the road, as TfL have done, is welcome too. As for crunching vehicles.  I'd extend this to illegal ebikes, illegal e-scoooters (I think some local authorities have done this with the latter) but before that I would (a) legislate that the delivery companies move away from zero hours contracts to permanent employees and take responsibility for their training, vehicles and behaviour on the road.   More expensive takeaways are a price worth paying for safer roads and proper terms and conditions (b) legislate to register all illegal e-bikes and scooters so that when they are found on the road the retailer takes a hit, and clamp down on any grey markets.  If you buy an e scooter say from Halfords this comes with a disclaimer that it can only be used on private land with the owner's permission.
    • I know a lot of experts in the field and getting a franchise was a license to print money, that is why Virgin were so happy to spend lots of dosh challenging government ten years ago when they lost the West Coast franchise.  This will not be overnight, rather than when the franchise has come to the end. Government had previously taking over the operator of last resort when some TOCs screwed up. Good, at last some clear blue water between the parties.  Tories said they were going to do a halfway house, but I've not noticed.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_British_Railways   : "On 19 October 2022, Transport Secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan announced that the Transport Bill which would have set up GBR would not go ahead in the current parliamentary session.[15] In February 2023, Transport Secretary Mark Harper re-affirmed the government's commitment to GBR and rail reform.[16] The 2023 King's speech announced the progression of a draft Rail Reform Bill which would enable the establishment of GBR, although it has not been timetabled in the Parliamentary programme.[5] The Transport Secretary Mark Harper later told the Transport Select Committee that the legislation was unlikely to reach Royal Assent within the 2023-2024 parliamentary session.[17]"
