If you want to post in-line use the image URL and img tags in the body of your text like so...

Here's how to post a picture.

Step 1. Click the "Post Reply" button that is located below the last post in a thread.
Step 2. This will bring up a new dialog box similar to the "Fast Reply" box you are used to, with the exception of there being a "Click here to upload!" link that you can use. Click on this.
Step 3. This will bring up a file upload box. This will give you the opportunity to upload up to 12 pictures at a time. Click on the first "Browse" button.
Step 4. Use the Navigation box to browse to where the file that you want to upload is located on your computer. Once you have selected the file then click on the "Open" button.
Step 5. This should fill in the file name in the first line of the upload dialog box. You can use more of the upload lines to select more pictures if you want to upload more than one. Once you have selected all of the files that you want to upload then click the "Ok" button at the bottom other dialog box.
Step 6. Wait until you see the "File Uploaded Successfully" screen to appear, then click "Ok" to close that dialog box.
Step 7. Finally click the "Ok" button to upload your post and the pictures to RCU.

While it's possible to post inline pictures as stated above, it's best the avoid doing it if you can. First of all, people with slower connections don't have the choice to NOT download the image when it's posted inline, they are forced to sit and wait for it to download (which is even worse when there are multiple images). Second, with images of different sizes posted inline it gets difficult to view a thread. Most of the time when I come across a thread with huge inline images I won't read that thread because it's hard to read when you have to scroll side to side to read the text (and yes, I have my screen set to huge resolutions. In fact, all of my monitors are set to high resolutions.).

Hope this helps

Ken

Good point ken. I usually inline cause I've been on boards that make u reduce the size of the image to really small values to attach them. Saving server space and bandwidth. I guess that's not a concern on this site and I should try to attach rather then inline.

Somebody must know how to use photoshop effectively... (hopefully!)

Now we know what a single man in North Carolina spends his afternoons doing...

Ok Rog, I'll leave off there. Now we want some pictures of your "ADHD collection" of airplanes. That oughta make some beginners want to go buy some kits.[sm=lol.gif]

Ken, you might want to add in your steps that something must be written along with the pictures... I've tried posting pictures without writing anything and they wouldn't post

BTW Ken, you could have saved a lot of time by just pointing him to this thread in the :RCU Forum Support" Forum:

I know that now Mike. Learned about the thread that you posted after I posted the answer in this thread. Now I post the thread as an answer to this question instead.
