Anybody have any advice on how to post a jpeg or two? I tried “attach files” and nothing happens. Thanks.

    You gotta use Piffin screws to do the attachment.

    (Click "Attach files", wait for the pop-up, click "Browse", select your file. Then click "Upload" and wait until it says it's done. You can upload more files after that, if you wish. Then click "Done". The file will appear as an attachment at the bottom of your post.)

    (Getting it from there to where it actually appears on the screen without having to click on it is a step that you can address after you master the first step.)

        To put a pic in a post, I first attach the pic to the post. Then I put this line in the post:<img src="">Next I preview the post. where the text for the picture attachment is, I right-click and pick "Copy link location".Then I hit the "revise" button to come back to the post. I put the cursor between the quote marks in the "<img src="">" thingy. and I paste the text for the link there. The box below the post has to be checked where it says "Check here if HTML tags are in the message".And that's all there is to it.
        Nothing is wasted which makes a memory.

          You forgot the trailing "/" before the ">".

            I've been using <img src=""> for several years, and never have used the "/" character in the string.

            Most browsers will handle the bustedness of the omitted "/", but it's still ill-formed HTML.

            So where exactly should the missing "/" be?As an aspiring pinky pointer, I want to make sure my HTML is in good form.(-:

          4. DanH | May 16, 2007 07:26pm | #14

            The "/" goes just ahead of the trailing ">". With a few obscure exceptions an HTML element always ends with a "/". This can either be of the form <sometag somedata=xxxx>Text</sometag> or, when no text is associated, <sometag somedata=xxxx/>.View the <tag> and </tag> elements as bookends for the text in the middle. When there is no text, placing the "/" at the end of the first element is shorthand for the second element with the leading "/".Omitting the "/" leaves the element "open", and can confuse the HTML formatter. Ie, it doesn't know whether later text is associated with the element or not.

            You explain that like a freakin' engineer - WAY too much info.(-:If I understand correctly, you're saying I should change from this:<img src="">To this:<img src=""/>Have I got that right?

    If you have popups blocked, you will have to allow them or this site.

    The attach function is in a popup.

    And as Dan said, once you click upload, then you have to wait and wait and wait until it tells you it's done.

    Make sure the file isn't much bigger than 100 kb or it will take forever to upload and many users here won't take the time to look at it.

    Thank you everyone. I have the popup blocker on so that's probably the ticket.
