inserting pictures

#1 Post by keithstout » Thu Jul 29, 2021 1:40 am

I'm composing a private message. I have the text done. I tried to insert pictures in the message. I see the little insert pictures icon. I click on it, but it only types this at the end of my message: [img]. If I double click the icon, it types [img] [img].

I don't see any picture inserting function anywhere else.

I was able to post pictures in my needle pulling article. I'm using the same camera and thumb drive combination as I did for that article.

Can anybody help me?

I upload my pictures to imgur.com. When you do, it gives you BBS code. Paste that here. No limitations and you can customize the size you want and so forth.

I've never used it in a private message, but private messages seem to work pretty much like forum posts, so I think it will work.

.
One can't post images directly in a PM, as one can in normal posts. In the PM they must be linked to a host to appear.
Zeiss Standard WL (somewhat fashion challenged) & Wild M8
Olympus E-P2 (Micro Four Thirds Camera)
