Thread: Is there a way to post a pic (not thread) within a post?

I think I have seen someone post a pic along within the same box that I am typing. ??

It is only possible if the picture is stored on a website somewhere, and the URL ends with .gif, .jpg, .bmp, or possibly one or two other types. When you have such a picture click on the square box with the yellow background and a mountain, in the line above the message box. You will get a dialog box, in which you can paste the complete URL, then click OK. Or, you can accomplish the same thing by typing [ I M G ] (without the spaces, followed by the URL for the picture, and concluding with [ / I M G ] (again, without the spaces.) You cannot post a picture directly from your hard disk.

Example, using the method described:

Example of what happens when you simply paste the URL for the picture into the text of your message (Shows the actual URL in a link which can be clicked on): http://forums.collectors.com/i/expre...g%20smiley.gif

Example of what happens when you use the Blue round icon with the two-link chain below it, and give the link a name (Shows the name in a link which can be clicked on): Dancing smiley

The last two methods work with any URL for a website-hosted picture, regardless of how it ends.
