Someone, ANYONE, show me how to post pics; I have the perfect pic for this thread and I’ve NEVER learned how to post pics in all these years!

I put all my images on IMAGESHACK.

I then use this handy BASIC HTML CODE GENERATOR to generate the links for photos, etc. You just paste in the url, and it generates the code.

Posting an image:

General:
<img src="[web server location]">

You can't just snag a favorite picture from a desktop folder...it has to be hosted someplace on line to be posted here.

Best bet is to save the image to an image hosting service, I use Photobucket. In Firefox right click and select "Copy image location", in Safari right click and select "Open image in new tab" and copy the address in the address bar. Other browsers have similar tricks.

Example:
This: <img src="http://www.notablebiographies.com/images/uewb_09_img0611.jpg">

Tip: control the size with "height=nnn" like so:

This: <img height=200 src="http://www.notablebiographies.com/images/uewb_09_img0611.jpg">

Cynwoody adds this tip:

You can pre-cue a YouTube video by adding a t parameter to the link. Like so:
<a href=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f66kEastC58&t=35s>Bill Ayers on Obama> Posts:
Bill Ayers on Obama>

Ignore the single quotes, and the picture must be on a web server (not just your computer). I need the single quotes so it is not interpreted as a command

‘<’img src = “web address” ‘>’

many times you need to use width = xxx to not take up the whole screen, so that would look like

‘<’ img src = “web address” width=450 ‘>’

as far as getting the web address, if you are on a regular computer most pictures on the interwebs allow you to copy the “image location”, which is the URL address, so right click then copy location, then just paste it. On an IPhone you can usually (not always) press and hold on the picture which will open it in another “window”, from which you can simply copy the URL.

copy your photo, go to this site https://html-online.com/editor/ and paste the photo in left column, then copy code in right column, come back here- paste into comment and post

Bookmark that site- it’s a good one

Lots of good suggestions regarding how to post images. However, what if the image is too large to post? Suppose you post the image and find you have to scroll left and right to see all of it? The answer to this problem is here:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3725893/posts?page=30#30

The HTML code for the bottom image at that link is:

<img src="http://www.notablebiographies.com/images/uewb_09_img0611.jpg" width=80%>

Now, thanks to the width= percentage modifier, your image will adapt and look good no matter the screen size or resolution. Smallest smart phone screen to largest monitor, your image will look good.
