content: Assuming you mean attaching an image and entering it in your post, put image tags around the URL of the image you want to post.[ img] URL [ /img]This does mean you will need to host the image somewhere (ie temporary/free image host website), not attach it via the typical method at the bottom of the post window.

content: If you want to embed the images at the bottom of your post in the text at full size:Post your reply/post.Click on the images at the bottom of your post to make them full size.Right click, “Copy image address”.Edit your post and paste the URL into the image tags mentioned above.Now the image is referenced from the one hosted on Daves server and will not vanish in the future.There may be an easier way, but thats the way I understand it.

content: Might I suggest to examine how members successfully attach pics or embed them so use the Quote post and examine the syntax. Then just "go back" in your browser.I try to compress any pic that does not require great detail to reduce the space used on Daves server and find that less than 100 Kb is generally sufficient quality.Yep, use "Attachments and other options", select your file location (local or remote) and "(more attachments)" if more are required.Post the reply, then copy the pic thumbnail URL of your uploaded pic, then Modify your post and Paste the URL in the part of the post you want it, THEN highlight it with your mouse and then click on the Insert Image button.This will embed the URL within the [ img] URL [ /img] as RobertHolcombe describes.

content: Just curious, is there any way to make the thumbnails at the bottom appear full size by default?

content: Quote from: Gyro on July 14, 2016, 08:49:11 amThere's a few tricks, the best one I can't rediscover (find)...yet.That thread had embedded large images within the text (quite good resolution) but the best bit was those images were themselves links to the external server that hosted them and when clicked opened another browser tab with high res full page pics.Real classy IMHO.What irks me more is I can't remember which EEVbog member posted them.

content: Quote from: Mr.B on July 14, 2016, 05:45:41 amI normally don't like images being somewhere else, they seem to go missing, so this seems the way.But of course I can't help wondering what happens if you come back a 3rd time and remove the attachments but leave the links to them!
