Photos in text...

How do you get a photo to appear with your text?

Also, when quoting text from a previous post how do you get it to appear in those nice little boxes?

Thanks in advance...

Quoting previous posts is easy enough

See the quotation marks next to the Smiley face juuust above where you type a reply? Click on that and paste the quote into it

Images depends - if it's already on the web, copy the link location (right click on the image). then click on the icon 3 to the left of the quotes - should look like a postcard with a mountain and a sun? - and post the link in to that

Thanks Sean, still having problems with images though, when I right click on website image I get the option to copy but when I go to the 'Inset image URL' tab it won't come up with the paste option, only copy or cut...

what browser are you using? I'm using Internet Explorer (because I'm at work and I have to!) and if I right click on an image location I get an option to "Copy Shortcut"

If you have opened the actual image itself in the browser (eg clicked on an image and it has opened up the full picture) then the address in the address bar will probably end with .jpg - you can just copy that whole address as text (if that makes sense!)

Hi Sean, doesn't appear to have worked. I do have IE, and I get the option to copy shortcut, but it doesn't look like it reads it as a jpeg file...

looking at that link it would appear that it's not a picture but an embedded video (if you mean the larger of the pics?)

But Hey - if anyone wants to see what Red Devil is trying to show...

That was just an example Sean to see if it worked, still at least if someone comes onto the forum requesting a cure for insomnia...

Aha, cracked it!

Right clicked on image, went to properties and copied URL address, pasted it into 'Insert Image URL' tab, and hey presto...
