Paul; When you post an image you can control the width of your picture by placing this at the end of your image Link.

(NOTE THAT HERE in this HTML example I am using ( ) in place of < > so it the system will not read it as an HTML string and you can see how it is formated. YOU need to use < > when you post!)

(Center)(img border=0 src="link to image location" width = "400 /)

I think it defines the number of pixels displayed. I think you can do % too, but I have always used this. Here it is with "width = "300"/>, "250" and "125"

GOOD SATURDAY MORNING EVERYONE!
Relax and enjoy your Coffee and Breakfast Roll!

Note that you can use

for your text as well.

Note that you can also control Height as well e.g., "width = "75" height = "150" but I usually just use Width and let the system adjust the height. (Since I do not use it I would have to play around with it to get it to work. See the HTML guide at the link Diana provided.)

I hope this is helpful!

I was trying to say that you can center text as well! (Center) with < >

Hi, Pete, Diana, All,

Thanks, yes, but, I don't think that's the problem. The images I posted in (459) above, for example, were about the "right size for posting" to begin with. Yet, my post looks "messed up" on my end, once actually posted. The image sizes display fine, but the text that is supposed to go with them is misplaced, viewed in Brave, Google, or Edge*:

The 1st line of text looks ok, but the 1st pic appears immediately below it. "( p )" (parenthesis instead of < > for purposes of discussion) doesn't work.

Then my text that is supposed to "head" the 2nd pic instead appears immediately to it's bottom right, trailing off to to the right edge of the window. Again. it appears the HTML gets turned off, by posting the pic.

My 2 sentences following the 2nd pic do the same, i.e., that text string also begin immediately to the bottom right of the (2nd) pic. Again. it appears the HTML (including FR's default HTML) for everything but the insertion of the pics themselves gets turned off, by posting the command for the pic(s).

Edge is actually worse - I'll not bother trying to describe it, here, but, again, it seems the HTML for everything but the insertion of the pics themselves gets turned off, by posting the command for the pic(s).

Hi, Pete,

Do you know how to keep a hot link a hotlink when it’s in the same post containing other HTML elsewhere in the post?

For example, if I add any HTML command such as “ < p > “ (but without the 2x quotation marks and spaces around the “p”)* after the paragraphs in this post, the below hotlink (address) will go dead. (I can still repaste the address into a new browser window search field, of course.)

*Or in your examples “ (p) “.
