How do you insert pictures in that way?
I don't know how to do it.
Maybe Aaron might be able to help
But I think you put a photo on an image hosting website and then they give you a link you can use on forums and message boards
Sometimes you have to change the word IMG to image to get it to work, but I haven't done one in a while and things may have changed on the new site

Glad to say these great British chocs are still going strong and can all be found in my cupboard.

At the start of the first lockdown, I was persuaded, against my better judgement, to join Facebook in order to keep in contact with comments & photos from friends & family in the absence of seeing them in person.
But I have since discovered that when you post comments or photos you can limit who is able to view them - including only yourself. So I post my photo on to Facebook, limiting it to being viewed just by myself. That gets the photo uploaded to the internet and then all you have to do is copy the image address (just right-click on the image on to bring up the "copy image address" or "copy image link" direction depending on which browser you are using} and then paste it on to this site between the annotations:[image][/image]
Like this do you mean?
These were some of my Christmas decorations.
You still have to click on the link though.

I don't know how you paste the actual image, I'm afraid.
Quote: Hercules Grytpype Thynne @ 24th February 2022, 11:44 AMYeah, it's not the easiest of things to do - first off you need online storage, FOC of course! I use imgbb.com. At the moment!!! As so many get you on board and then want to charge - I think I've used three so far.

No that's the wrong link, you have the link to the PAGE not the direct link to the image.
Then you have to surround those links with "image" and "/image" typed with square brackets instead of quotation marks.
If you click the QUOTE button on any message above that has an image displayed, you will see the actual kind of stuff that you need to type for your own images.
Facebook image links have masses of tracking & advertising crap included in the link.
Oh no.
Thank you but I don't understand it.
Nor me, Horse and one or two others here who've said they can't do photos. What I can't understand with so many clever dick IT whizkids who can hack into Putin's Tinder account, is not one of them has developed a simple to use tool for ITiots to copy and post images, without all the brain numbing eye hurting fuss that exists now. There must be millions to be made for patenting such a thing and surely it can't be beyond anyone?
Hmmm, I'm as far from a techie as you could be and also ancient, but have no problem with posting them.
My only observation being it is a bit of a faff, and yes, hopefully someone can come up with something simpler. I know on FB you simply paste the photo/graphic from wherever without links, so don't understand why it cannot be the same on here.
Otherwise, all you frustrated posters - it only requires a little bit of effort.
