david96 Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 How does one copy and paste an image file into a post? Control + C and Control +V does not work but is OK for text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuky Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 You can't... However you can copy the URL of the image file and then paste it into the prompt box given after clicking the IMG button in the reply panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuky Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 If I have told you once I have told you a thousand time, don't post pictures of me on the internet. Now see how you feel... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDN Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 How does one copy and paste an image file into a post? Control + C and Control +V does not work but is OK for text.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> If you reply to a post that has an image in it, you will see how the syntax works. For example, penzman's post contains this text: h t t p : / / w ww.takdroppet.se/lgh4212/ugly.jpg[/img] I've added some spaces to stop the link actually working. But you can see how the syntax works . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDN Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 How do you post an image that is on your hard drive? From the naswers given it appears you cannot. Is that correct?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> You must upload the image on your hard drive to an "image hosting" web site such as ImageShack or Photobucket. They provide you with the URL to include in your forum post. Have a look here: http://imageshack.us/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vit42 Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Why not have an upload file option as is available when creating an album? The explanation in the forum rules is that you have to have permission from an administrator to be able to upload a file directly in a post. Why is that and how do you get that permission or is the only option a link to image hosting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDN Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 ... in the forum rules is that you have to have permission from an administrator to be able to upload a file directly in a post...<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Can you give details of where this rule is? I don't see it in the rules (the ones that are linked to at the top of each page). It's probably a bandwidth concern - easier to link to the image on another site and let them have the bandwidth problem, rather than Thaivisa. Just guessing.

If the admin has enabled it, you will also see a file attachments option, this will allow you to attach a file to be uploaded when making a post. Click the browse button to select a file from your computer to be uploaded. If you upload an image file, it may be shown in the content of the post, all other file types will be linked to.

I have never used it and I believe your question has been asked before because the wording of the help message makes it sound as if individuals can have this special posting ability turned on or off, but in fact I believe that this is a forum-wide ability. l wish l could remember in which forum I keep seeing it - there is a rather big "Attachments" box after the reply/post box and before the "Preview Post" button.

tuky Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 I get it on various different sub forums, not too sure the thinking behind which forum it is allowed or not though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
