How does one post a picture (not a link)??

Baley

I have a digital camera but no image hosting (when selling on eBay I just download to theirs)

How do you all put a picture into your message, or your signature line for that matter?

Also, one more nonrelated question if I may: What does NARU stand for? I understand it to mean being kicked off eBay but what does the acronym stand for?

Thanks in advance.

Not A Registered User.....As for the pics, they need to be hosted somewhere. The picture icon will ask you for the url.

Baley, I believe NARU stands for not a registered user. I don't know about the image question but am confident others can help you with that.

Edited to add - let me be the second one to tell you what NARU stands for.

Bailey:

The easiest thing to do to post a picture is to attach it to the bottom of a new post where you see attachments. Just click on the attach file button and it'll walk you through the rest of the steps by prompting you. One thing about this feature is that you have to limit the pics to 50K. If you figure out how to use image hosting through your provider, then all you have to do is upload your picture to your provider's site and then hit the little picture icon in the bar above next to the Underline icon. Once there, you just copy the URL on to the line and voila - instant pic.

Hope that helped!

Thanks guys, have seen Not A Registered User on there, just never put it together with when you say someone was or will be NARU'd

As for pictures, is there a free hosting site somewhere?

The picture icon in between the "U" and "http" brings up a java script in which you paste the URL where your scan is located. Must be hosted on a public web server. It produces the following code:

Note that I have added a space by the brackets so the code will be visible. Closing them produces this:

Man Baley, nice opening volley. That's pretty. Do it some more.

Russ

Don,

Truth be told, I don't really care what the Franklin halves on the submission grade. It's the four wild neon rainbow toners I pulled from a 64 proof set (including an AH) that I'm REALLY interested in.

I'm currently testing some code that will allow a person to upload a picture from their computer to a server I'm hosting. It will automatically generate a URL which can then copy and paste into a message to post.

(Now if I could only get it to work...stupid PHP)...
