How did you display the first several lines without the html kicking in?

Right click on the link. A menu should pop and one of the choices should be "open in new window" "open in new tab" if you are using mozilla.

Can you explain your linking further to the HTML challenged? Is this copying over the link target and saving it on FR? or?

Do the following:
- Find the picture you want somewhere on the Internet. You can't link to it from your harddrive.
- Right click on the picture and select Properties.
- Highlight the item labeled Address (URL). It will look something like http://216.77.188.54/coDataImages/p/Groups/133/133192/pages/316580/bulldog.gif
- Go to the Posting box on Free Republic where you want to post the pic.
- Type <img src="http://216.77.188.54/coDataImages/p/Groups/133/133192/pages/316580/bulldog.gif">
- Preview your work.
- Click Post.

To: Tarpon
OK... Say you have a link in your browser address bar called:
http://www.blahblahblah.com If you want to link it and call it My Link, what you would type is this:
<A Href="http://www.blahblahblah.com">My Link</a>
It will look like this: My Link
Does that help?

Yeah I knew that ... but what is the "target=new"??? Isn't that a MS specific tag to open a new browser window? What were you implying by polite? If you want to just grab a photo or pic without dragging all the bits through the other site is there a way to do that? I thought that is what you meant by polite linking.

Ya.. target="new" is called an attribute of the A Href tag.
And yes, I think the polite thing to do is add it too your links.
<A Href="http://www.blahblahblah.com" target="new">My Link</A>
But to just post a picture on FR, use this:
<img src="http://www.mysite.com/mypicture.jpg">

What does "Target=new" do? Is it MS specific or does it work with all OSes?

It works on Netscape or Internet Explorer.
What it does is open the link in a new browser window, instead of taking the current window away from the thread.

OK, I know the syntax, my bad, but does it actually do anything useful for you or the site you get the link off of. I can't seem to find it in anything but MS docs. It does not appear in HTML rev 4. at least I can't find it.
Just curious. Don't want to cause other sites anymore trouble when linking than necessary.

So how do you change the size of a picture? "Size" can be a rather relative term.
As you can see in GummyIII's example in reply #153, one can change the image "size" as it will display here (height=130 width=150 vs.height=65 width=75, i.e. half the original "size").
However, one could also instruct the image to display at 5 times the original "size" (height=650 width=750),:
The other "size" issue relates to the amounts of bytes of the original image.
Whatever "size" one instructs the original image to display, the original image is still going to be 13747 bytes in "size".
Given that an image is going to look it's best at the original "size" in height and width for it's original "size" in bytes, instructing an image to display outside of that height and width "size" will distort that image to a certain degree since it's original "size" in bytes is going to remain constant. It's like a volume vs. mass thingy.

FR used to always run in realtime, now it seems like there is a "seven second" delay. Is equipment being maxed out by the number of users or have there been some changes behind the scenes? Yeah, I've noticed that, too. There's also a delay in the NEW POSTS TO YOU flag at times, meaning the flag will be inactive even though I do have new posts to me.
