I'm belatedly putting together clues for my next game, and I thought it would be neat to add some visual clues. (Especially for artists.) How can I insert a picture into a post in the right place? Thanks.

Sure. Go ahead. Be my guest. Knock yourself out.

if you can find the image on the net you can link to it by copying the url and clicking the IMG button and inserting the url. The IMG button gives you this with out the spaces [ i m g ] insert url here [/ i m g ]

Okay, testing, testing:



IT WORKED! THANKS!

A beautiful bearskin rug.

A word of caution.

You really ought to save any picture you wish to post to a place like photobucket.

The reason is that when you do an image tag of a picture on a website, IIRC, you are using the bandwidth of that website to post it here.

And technically, that's stealing bandwidth.

Oh, dear. I don't want to do that. But why is saving it someplace else different?

And what's a photobucket?

When I go to the beach, this is what I carry my pictures in.

I've been working on one for awhile too, but it still has a way to go. (In the meantime, I know of a game that is not quite finished yet, available in the Bored Reference thread...)

Frank, photobucket is just a website to download your photos. Go to photobucket.com and open and account (it's free). It's very easy from there. Good luck!

Come to think of it ... since the site itself has a mechanism for inserting pictures from URLs, can it actually be illegal?

Photobucket.com

And don't worry- you won't go to jail for it- just that if a certain image is popular, it could slow down the site if too many people do an image tag to it.

I think...I could be wrong on this.

All I know is, i used to just image tag everything until someone told me I shouldn't, so now I use photobucket (for the most part- sometimes I'm lazy).
