Hi,

Would someone please explain to me how to include a photo in a post?

The only icon I see relating to that, asks for a URL, but what about photos that are just on my desktop, and don't have a URL?

Thanks, as always!

Put those photos somewhere online and then paste the URL in. There are a lot of free sites like http://imgur.com/ and others that will allow you to do this. We don't allow desktop uploads unless they go to the gallery.

IS, you should be able to right click on a photo and copy the image address or click the properties link and copy if from there. This works for me when I lift photos from google or facebook. Hope that helps

Otherwise, I know picturetrail.com is a good photo site and they give all sorts of IMG options.

IslandScout, http://tinypic.com/ is also good.

First choose your file and the size you want the pic for example to be. Then hit upload. After that choose the 'img' or 'url' you want. Then copy and paste that in between the [url]'s or [img]'s of your post.

Hope it works for you....

No. We ran into an issue and we've been waiting for the developer to get back to us.

Just curious Linus - is that issue extended to avatars? I havent been able to upload a new avatar (nor have I been able to use a link for a custom avatar) and was wondering if that was part of the galleries glitch.
