Stupid Question

#1 Post by Beebs52 » Mon Nov 03, 2008 12:53 pm

It's probably been answered, but I don't know where to look. Can I insert an image into a post without having to have a url associated with it?
Well, then

No, you can't. Only avatars can be loaded onto the Bored's web site; all other images have to be retrieved from somewhere else on the web.

I'd suggest a Photobucket or Flickr account, if it's an image you want to share.

I don't know the actual answer. I have tried without success. That's why I got a Photobucket account -- so I could have an internet source that worked.

Thanks. I'll just put a temporary avatar in for a response to something.

The only stupid question is, "Can I ask a stupid question?"

At least I was making some attempt at even FALSE humility.

When I taught or held any sort of discussion I would always try to encourage folks by saying that there is no such thing as a stupid question. A question is an unthinking string of words so it can't be stupid, smart or anything of that nature. So don't worry about asking anything.

The class or group would nod and relax.

Then I would pause and remind them, 'but there is such a thing as a stupid questioner' (going for the cheap laugh).
