Picture in Post

Post by Bill Ferguson »

I have figured out how to create a link to a picture in a post, but have not figured out how to make the picture open automatically.

Hope someone can help.

Thanks
Bill

Bill - Edit your post and replace the commands 'URL' & '/URL' with 'IMG' & '/IMG'. No spaces, etc. That should do it.

Thanks Steve,
As you can see I made several attempts, but to no avail.

I used to know how to do this, but age has wiped my memory.

I'll keep trying.

Thanks

Bill;
In your post take out "URL=" and add the file extension type. In this case "jpg". The IMG before tell the browser that an image follows. The /IMG tells it that the image is done.

I located the image you wanted to put up. Click on "edit" of this post and look at what is there.

Hi Ernie,
Well thanks for your help. I figured it was something simple, but I just did not understand.
Take care
Bill

Bill;
No problem at all. Glad to help!

Another thing I have noticed that you can do: When you edit your post more than once, you can go to the bottom of it and get rid of the This message was edited... lines, too. (Makes you look smarter than I am... wait... you is... never mind...)
