Need help to embed an image

[Jay]

Couldn't find but the "attach file" buton. Used it once an the image was not embedded but included as file attachment.

Iwant it to be like this:

Blah blah blah:

<The_Image>

Blah blah blah...

And I've attached a screen shot to show that it works...

I hope it was not because the file was too big (It was a black and white bmp or jpg I created in Paint). Let me try again... (But this must be embedded at the bottom of the text, right?) Hmmm, cannot be seen in the preview... now submitting...

[Jay]

Hmmm at least 3 minutes had past. Again...

Okay, but I think what Jay is talking about is the ability to attach an image that would show in the middle of the text, not at the end of the text.

Anybody know how to do that? To my knowledge, that requires you to link to an image outside of diyAudio-the diyAudio server only handles images that go at the end of the text.

Something like this, perhaps?


The above image is from the Savoy Brown website, (yes, they're still around-Kim Simmonds is, anyway.) www.savoybrown.com But as you can see, this is in the middle of the text-not the end.

What I did was, I went to the Savoy Brown website, and found the image I wanted. I then copied the address at the top of the page. When I returned to diyAudio, I went to the Reply box, clicked on IMG at the top of the Reply box, pasted the URL. Then I could resume the text.

One thing-if you have Tripod or Geocities, and have your photos there-it doesn't work so well. Tripod or Geocities seem to "refresh" their websites or something, so an image from those sites is likely to disappear overnight. You need either legit webspace, (perhaps your Internet Service Provider provides it as part of the deal), or a genuine website like the Savoy Brown website is likely to be. The free webpages just do not work well as a source for this.

Now,if anyone knows how to get the diyAudio server to carry the image you wish to embed in the middle of the text, please post haste.

I've got the same problem:

Uploading does not work. The only way is to link to another site.

another attemp with your given example...

Ops, very strange, I can upload JPGs but no GIFs...

Really stange...

To do inline graphics, you need to use the img tags (or rather the vB Codes in this case). But the image would have to reside someplace else such as another web server. Uploading the image here using the Attach file option will always, as far as I'm aware, plunk it down at the bottom.

So if you have some web space of your own, you can just use the img code to do inline graphics. So it'd be...

Blah blah blah

<img>http://www.wherever.com/myimage.jpg</img>

Blah blah blah

Except replace the left and right arrows with left and right braces.

If the image exists on another site, you can usually (but not always as more sites don't allow it nowdays) just right click on the image, hit Properties, get the complete URL for the image, and then use that with the img vB code to insert the image into your text.

For example, here's the diyAudio.com logo taken from the top of the page here.



Now, let me see if that works.

Yup.
