How do you post an image?

[Fungi]

See post three, right directions, incorrect post.

I don’t know, but do they have an attribute for boob enhancement?

Like on TV detective shows, you simply say ENHANCE before posting, and then her boobs will be enhanced.

You can do multiple iterations, too.

For boobs I usually do that no more than about 1.5 hours, as I'm pretty conservative.

Works both ways. Habits you know.

(Funny thing, though, it works without them, at least in preview, but it’s best to follow the proper format.)

Draw the picture on your PC's screen. Sharpies and grease pens work best. (Pencils & ballpoint pens perform crappily on glass).

Then push the "Screen Capture" button. That's what it's there for.

It will bring up a dropdown menu containing a comprehensive list of all known URL's, which should include the place you want to post your picture. Leave a little extra time to complete this phase, as the list isn't in alphabetic order.

You have to be able to store the image somewhere that it is accessible from the Internet.

This usually means a image hosting service such as:

• Imgur
• Dropbox
• TinyPic
• Flickr
• Google Pics
• SmugMug

Once you have the image hosted where the Internet can access it, you need to obtain the URL to that specific image on the server hosting it. For example (other services will have a URL that is completely different) a image hosted at Dropbox might have a URL that looks like this:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/9gckdta8kgom0c1/baconsandwich.jpg?dl=0

Once you get the URL for your specific image, to post it on FR, the image above would look like this:

If you want more info on how to do various things to make your Free Republic posts clearer with HTML or images, kind souls here have a thread at Free Republic HTML Tips that I have always greatly appreciated. Good luck!

Every internet photo has an address, sorta like houses have addresses.

So...you first have to get the address of the photo you wish to display at FR.

So...go to images.google.com

You like porsches? I do. I like the GT3:

I typed "Porsche" in the search window

I saw a ton of different photos of porsches.

I decided on one I liked, I right clicked on it, then selected "copy image location"

At FR in the thread I typed:

< img src ="">

Then I positioned my cursor between the quote marks

Then I pressed control V, that puts the URL of the photo in there.

Then I pressed preview.

Meh! Too big. I'm going to redo it:

Meh..! too small

Like the three bears, yeah that one is juuuust right.

[Bullish]

If it works in preview then it's working for the post.

Yeah, this posts a pic without any "".

[Windflier]

pizza slice marks

Otherwise known as carets.

[gaijin]

Oh wow, no quotes needed? But they work.

Weird, I didn’t know I’ve been adding in exta stuff all these years, zounds.

[gaijin]

close, but you need to use carets, not brackets:

[gaijin]

In the first, I used the full size

In the second, I think I used pixel HEIGHT 100

In the last, I think I used pixel height 300

Yes your way works, because it is actually ignoring the /.

I try to use as few characters as possible, as I am the lazy type. 8>)

But actually, with windows 10 you can't find the URL by right clicking and selecting properties. Instead you right click and select Inspect Element. In turn that open a 2nd browser and shows the source, with the picture source highlighted. Then you have to right click on the highlighted source and select: copy then select: outer HTML.

That is then pasted into your post, and one should always preview it to see if it works. Because sometimes the actual URL is in an internal database at the site. If that is the case you won't get access to that database. So the picture does not show up in your post.

So how to post a picture really depends on what OS you are running on your computer.

[Robert DeLong]

Yeah that worked well. 8>)

[Windflier]

Well, I'll be. I just posted that without using quotation marks in the HTML.

I had no idea you could do that.

[Baynative]

Controlling the image height is an excellent point because it saves on bandwidth.

Also, I'd like to suggest altering your directions to use Dogpile search engine instead of google. (just a suggestion)
