jumping through lots of hoops to do this...let's see if it works

 

again, but differently

 

try again from gallery...

 

Nope! :smile: You need to open your gallery image in a new window and copy that url between the "IMG" tags in your post.

but when I have this (reply) or (post) window open and I click on the insert image icon, there are no "tags" that I see. Like I said, the window opens to insert the url. I do that (without doubling up the http:// part), click ok. The box with red x shows in the body of the post, with the six cubes around it. Like it is the image to edit.
So how does it work, again?

 

can someone explain the picture itself?

 

As you say, when you click on the Image icon it asks you to "enter the text to be formatted" and you insert the URL, as you describe. This pop-up box is just inserting the URL between IMG tags. You are just inserting the wrong URL....you are trying to link to a web page not a jpeg image file. The correct address you should be inserting is shown in my post #4...here it is again. https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...orally_010.jpg

I am running Safari on a Mac, so these instructions may not work for you...but you need to open the image in new Window. From that page in the gallery, right click the image and choose "Open Image in New Window" or whatever the equivalent is if you're running MS-Windows. Now you should have a new window, only containing an image, the address of which ends in .jpg. Copy and paste this address when they ask you for the URL in the insert image pop-up box.

Needless to say, I don't write software manuals for a living!!! Sorry!

 

so this time I have opened my gallery and right clicked on the pic and used the "copy link location" option from the menu. Maybe this will work.

 

ok, this time I try "copy image location". seems to make more sense.

 

 

Success!!!

 

one last try to see if I can get the bidgger pic like you did...

 

heck yeah, now I can show my face in the people behind their minis thread!
