Embedded images...its SIMPLE!!!!

For some odd reason I have not quite figured out, when you are browsing the forums but are NOT logged in to the forums, the pictures themselves appear in the posts- you can scroll down and see the pictures without ever seeing the hyperlinks.

But once you log in, the pictures go away and all you can see is the LINK to the pictures.

I don't know why this is. It's pretty stupid, actually. You'd think it would be the other way around.

It's the same way with user avatar pics- you can only see them if you are not actually logged in- then once you log in all the avatar pics dissappear too.

go to your user CP.. it's int there somewhere under options, i believe. You have settings to show/hide images/avatars

yeah, under EDIT OPTIONS

scroll down to :

Visible Post Elements (check boxes you want)

You have the option to show or hide various elements of messages, which may be of use to users on slow internet connections, or who want to remove extraneous clutter from posts.

Show Signatures
Show Avatars
Show Images (including attached images and images in code)

Post a picture

This thread is very rich…….all of us have fucked it all up and screamed …..and so it makes all those nut busting gorgeous pics of the delicious ladies that much more precious. Because we know someone pushed through the mud and prevailed…..

Now how exactly does one insert a penis into a vagina?
 
I know this isn't the "how to" board but I think a good many posters need to learn this:

If there's a picture you want to post from the internet follow these steps to make it automatically display in the thread you are posting.

1. Go to the image address in your browser
2. Copy the web address (ctrl c-windoze command c-smackintosh)
3. Hit the little icon in the posting screen that looks like a mountain with the sun
4. Paste the image address (ctrl v-wondoze command v-smackentosh)
5. Hit OK
6. submit reply.

alternatively copy the address into the posting window, highlight the whole thing and then hit the mountain icon

totally old school type http://paste or type web address then type

This way, no one has to follow a link, they can just see the image you want to add because
this sucks:

Thank you so much. This is far better!

Doesn't work at all on my computer!! I can just post the link.
 
Well, the directions your provide are not working here . . . .
The Forum software changed things a little. Try this. Find a .jpeg on a website. copy the address. Hit the sun and mountain icon (between the link and Smily faces)and when it comes up then hit the link icon (looks like to chain links on the diagonal) which will bring up a blank spot to insert the URL that you copied from the photo. Then hit the INSERT button at the bottom of the popup.

Easy peasy.

Why don't you re-post this in How to?
 
Why did you bump a TEN YEAR old thread with instructions about the old forum software that no longer apply?
I dunno. It popped up today so someone before me did the bumping. But thanks for the info.
