If I create a new post, and want to have pictures each with a bit of descriptive text, I fail miserably :bang: It must be possible as I see threads with pictures and text mixed, but all my pictures appear at the end of the text. How is it done? |
Pete.:
Host the pictures off-board, and use the 'insert image' tag to place it in line with your text. If you have any webspace from your Internet Provider, that's a great place to host them. Here's an example I just did for some stuff I bought: Mercer heavy indicator base with rock-solid inch diameter post. Came with a Baty half-thou indicator. Swiss-made Sylvan digital half-tenth indicator Mitutoyo 1uM dial indicator Verdict .0001" DTI And here's how I did it: |

Thanks Pete - all is revealed! I was under the impression that off site pics were frowned on as if the off site location changes the thread becomes useless? |

Off site hosting can be an issue if the owner changes or deletes anything. If you want text and pictures together and uploaded to the site you would have to do one post per picture. |
dsquire:
awemawson Pete has given you a very good example of how to post the photo's and do the text. He has also chosen an excellent size for the photo's which is 640 x 480. It makes them large enough to easily be viewed without having to scroll all over the place just to see a couple of photo's. --- Quote from: awemawson on March 16, 2013, 09:25:39 AM ---I was under the impression that off site pics were frowned on as if the off site location changes the thread becomes useless? --- End quote --- It is not frowned upon. It is up to the individual preference. --- Quote from: black85vette on March 16, 2013, 09:43:50 AM ---Off site hosting can be an issue if the owner changes or deletes anything.

Good luck with posting your photo's. If you have any other questions or need a hand I will be glad to help. :D :D Cheers :beer: Don |
