Ok, I Just tested a couple of things. How to add a pic from the web. I just used the insert image icon & added the addy after the http & got this:

I also posted a pic from my own PC, by uploading the image to Imgur.com & then chose the 2nd option (Direct Link Emails & IM) & again added it to the Insert Image icon above. Here is the result. I obviously need to play with sizing.

Oh, I see what I did wrong. I clicked Quick Reply instead of Reply.
By the way, I look terrible. How do I fix the picture, or can I add my own logo?

I don't see any photo Emerald. The insert picture icon is in the 3rd section of icons, 3rd one from the left. If you hover over it, it will say "insert image".

It looks like you can also add a photo by using the Add Attachment on the right in the teal box. However, I don't know how much space we have here for those. That allows you to upload a pic from your own PC without hosting it first. But that's an issue we had on the 'other' forum & Kevin had to disable the function.

By the way, I look terrible. How do I fix the picture, or can I add my own logo? Click on Profile up at the top left of the screen. Then click on the Edit Profile button on the right side of the screen. There you will have options to upload a pic/logo or to build your own avatar. The build your own avatar option is fun, you will see that a lot of us have played with it. |

Thanks, Shirley. Due to a computer issue, I can't do the faces, but I was able to put my logo in. Wow, it's huge!

Glad you found it. I like the bigger avatars, the thumbnail sizes on some boards are too hard for old eyes to see.  |

You're right about the size. Some of the photo avatars are too tiny to see.

Seriously. This is the first time I've been able to SEE your avatar, emerald! Nice door!

As someone with old eyes, I agree, I like the large avatars.
Hey, do we have post numbers? Can we turn on post numbers? I was going to refer you Val to a post ^^ up there I wrote, wondering if we would have the size issue here if we just upload pics without hosting, but I don't see a post # to refer you to. I think it's like 6 posts back...my last post prior to this one.

I found out we do have a limit on attachments, so whenever possible please try to post pictures that are hosted elsewhere (no limit on those). You can use Imgur, Photobucket, or any number of other free hosting sites. Instructions are pretty much the same for Photobucket - you want to use the "direct" html option and the insert picture link Zoe was referencing.
