By George you got it!

Not to totally confuse you but you can exchange width for height if the photo is too tall

[WAC]

OK...I think I have it right now and made a cheat sheet for myself that I understand...thanks for sticking with me til I got it....sheesh!

I went thru the same confusion on FR when learning there until one of the members stayed with me til I got it. But what I never did there but a enjoying doing here is posting news threads!! It's very easy to learn that here.....

Thanks again....

Here are 3 ways to quote someone:

1:
"I will put up some visuals tomorrow evening on another thread,
But anyone wanting to play with the buttons can use this thread."
Testing and learning.
2:
3:
Number 1 is simple cut and paste.  Anyone can do that.  Boring.  But easy.

Number 2 uses cutting and pasting into the reply box, as above, but then employs highlighting and the yellow quote button located above the reply box.

Number 3 uses the quote button found at the upper right of each post and inserts the quote for you into the reply box PLUS it adds a hyperlink that also identifies the person you quoted and, as all hyperlinks do, takes you back to that post in the thread stream.

Go ahead click the the blue hyperlink above the number 3 sample that says "quote from Repub4Mitt".  Sweet, huh?

Try doing that at TOS.

@The Jackal How do you imbed a video

[Oceander]

@The Jackal How do you imbed a video

What you need to do is to copy the url for the video and paste it into the body of a post.  Next, at the very beginning of the url there should be either "http://" or "https://" - if there is "https://" then you need to replace it with "http://"  Then, when you click on "post" to send the post, the forum's software should properly embed the video in the post so it's displayed.

When I was pasting it the "www" did not show up, the "youtube.com/watch?v=" read "youtu.be/"

Wow.  I had completely forgotten that song, but when it started, I could sing every note with all the right words!

The human memory is a strange thing.  ^-^

You are grabbing the wrong url.   Don't copy the embed or share link below the Video they provide.   Go up to the address bar and copy that one.

This pic from my laptop also came through small, but I clicked on it, and it enlarged.  Wonder how to post it full size? Do I need a hosting site?

Hosting sites are good....try not posting it in attachments...just use the img tags

[mystery-ak]

open up your post and look how I did it....click modify

\[img width=500 height=500\]https://www.bbcode.org/images/lubeck_small.jpg\[/img\]


get rid of all the escapes "\"


play with the size, make it 200 by 300 or 1000 by 1200

play with the size, make it 200 by 300 or 1000 by 1200

Just remember please - widths larger than about 550 cause problems with some devices and screw up reading whatever thread they are on. 500 is the safer choice.

I don't think I can do it that way with a pic from my computer...can I?

@240B, thanks...I do that when I copy and paste the address of an image, but I don't know how to do it with a pic from my computer.  I thought I had to use the attachment button for that.

you don't have to use attachments to post a pic....copy and paste the url between the img tags.....you might want to open a photobucket account and store some of your fav photos there...it is free and lots of free storage
