image insert

[Charlene]

Hey, admin, I wanted to insert an image into a post, but I think the site only lets me insert an http address and not a pic from my own computer. Maybe I'm missing something here? I did the thing, but couldn't get any further.....

Maybe a 'How To..." for Dummies?

Hi Charlene..

Hope you have had a great weekend..

We will look into this.. But we are limited by the softwares capabilities.. There are some FAQ that come installed with the software.. Link below or top of page..

Hi again. The forum software is the latest version. We like to keep thing secure but always upgrading to the latest version.

There is a plugin for uploading images via another site.. but this pauses two problems..

BUT!......

1. Do you really want to trust your images to a third party site..
2. Also the plugin has not been updated for a while and certainly for the latest version of the forum software.

You're right about 3rd party - not really my cup of tea - ah well....

[adminCDZ]

Really sorry.

[Charlene]

I see that in the introduction section someone included pics of themselves - so how was that done? via a 3rd party website? I've tried cut 'n paste and stuff but to no avail.

Hiya Charlene. I am no expert but you have to host the images elsewhere and supply a link in the code….. I think.

Most forums seem to be this way….from experience.
