Argus Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) I don't see anything in the guidelines or rules regarding posting images, but whenever I've tried to post a link to an image I get an error message to the effect that kind of image isn't allowed. As an example, tried to post this as an image. http://www.jwwaterhouse.com/view.cfm?recordid=2 Does the image have to an actual jpg or gif? If so doesn't that mean you have to save it to your home computer then post it here rather than as a link?

Charles Anthony Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Use this link: http://www.jwwaterhouse.com/paintings/images/waterhouse_the_shrine.jpg instead. I don't see anything in the guidelines or rules regarding posting images, but whenever I've tried to post a link to an image I get an error message to the effect that kind of image isn't allowed. As an example, tried to post this as an image. http://www.jwwaterhouse.com/view.cfm?recordid=2 That hyperlink is not an image. It is a link to a page that renders an image. Does the image have to an actual jpg or gif?Yes. I believe PNG files work too. If so doesn't that mean you have to save it to your home computer then post it here rather than as a link?No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argus Posted October 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Use this link: http://www.jwwaterhouse.com/paintings/images/waterhouse_the_shrine.jpg instead. Thanks. Is there any way to link to an image which would make the image visible on the forum, as opposed to having to click a link to view the image?

kimmy Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) Thanks. Is there any way to link to an image which would make the image visible on the forum, as opposed to having to click a link to view the image? Yes. On your post-editing toolbar, there is a button called "image". It's halfway between the "link" button and the "quote" button. Click the "image" button, paste your image URL in, and ... Ta-da! If you are a crusty old-school type who prefers to enter code by hand, the code is: {img=http://www.jwwaterhouse.com/paintings/images/waterhouse_the_shrine.jpg } ...but with square braces [ ] in place of the curly braces { } Another handy tip: some sites don't like people direct-linking to their image content. You can get around it by uploading the image to an image host like imgur.com which supports hotlinking. -k Edited October 27, 2015 by kimmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
