[MikeA]

How do I post a picture on Free Republic as some do in the reply sections? It's a JPEG file.

Thank you!!!

Is this cool or what?

I'll go with cool. Now what did I just agree to that was so cool? Regarding post #24, "Bush Rules," I prefer, "Bush Presides" :-)

I'm just practicing and trying to do stuff. The picture posting is way beyond me. I read the stuff and then zone out. It's just too much work. So I was trying the Marquee thingie but it doesn't work for me either. I'm just not kewl. :-/ brbr did that work?

They turned that off over 2 years ago when trolls were abusing it.

Posting pics is easy once you learn-

#1 -- you have to have a host that allows hotlinking - I use Homestead but that is no longer free -- there are several good ones out there that are easy to use.

#2 Make a cheat sheet -- I have a Note Tab Lite with the basic img code and I just paste in the url. That way I don't miss something and get the dreaded red x.
And if it is one I use a lot I have it at the ready to just insert into my post.

#3-- ALWYAS PREVIEW....or I might post this....

And a damn fine bear it is, too.

[CARDINALRULES]

See what I mean about preview -- I did a few times but didn't catch my typing mistake - had it right the first time but had an overwrite and screwed up the second time.

ALWAYS PREVIEW --lol

Usually, you will not have any realistic help in answering your question. The first suggestion is typically sarcasm asking if you are signed on; or are your still breathing O2. Unless you have your own website and know HTML, you're probably out of luck. I have thousands of photos of our military guys in combat but no one will help me post them. Good luck...

Smartypants!

[Horatio Gates]

That one is a tough one for me too.

So I was trying the Marquee thingie

Did that work?

what the hell was that

[LowOiL]

Sir, you have to have the picture on the internet before you can post it on FR. Thus you can not post your picture on your computer until you have it put on the internet with a URL.

You might have some free web space offered with your internet provider (aol or mindspring or earthlink ect..).

You can freepmail me for more instructions if needed.
