Chris D Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 A lot of people are attaching images in their posts here, but not displaying them inline. Once you've attached a JPEG or PNG file using the file manager you can edit your post and right-click to copy the URL of the attachment, then paste that as an inline image back into the post. No need for image hosting externally. It might even be easier than this...somone put me straight... I noticed Christiaan was doing this trick to display inline images, when I'd always been posting them on external imagehost sites!....what a palaver. It's nice to have inline images...saves a lot of clicking to view Quote Link to comment
Chris D Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 I would post an example, but I'm writing from an iPad (no file system)... Quote Link to comment
bcd Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Thanks Chris, I was wondering about this. Quote Link to comment
cad@sggsa Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I have always uploaded from my PC direct using the File manager, but dont see a post inline option to display the image in the post. Quote Link to comment
Chris D Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 (edited) Copy the attachment URL, edit the post, insert an image from the toolbar, use the URL as the source. Edit...you can even do this bit from an iPad... Edited March 6, 2012 by Chris D Quote Link to comment
