Upload an Image
It is fun to have small images in posts. They give a bit of life to the text- rich posts. You can click on the book link below to see images of how to insert an image into a new discussion post, or you can follow the steps as outlined:
1. You use the attachment option at the bottom of the post:
- hit the browse option at the bottom of the post
- this takes you to your hard drive where you find the proper directory where you store your files
- double click or open the image you want to attach
- post to forum and ...
- voila it is done
note in some browsers it appears in the post as an image (eg: IE) and in other browsers (eg: firefox) it is a link at the top right hand side of the post
2. You insert an image from the world wide web
- find your image on the web
- right click the image to get the correct address (choose properties, usually near the bottom of the menu)
- copy that world wide web address
- click on the mountain icon (this is the image upload button)
- paste the www address in the top text box
- add a descriptor (the second text box area)
- click save at the bottom of the image dialogue box and it is done!
