1eyedjack Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 I have a jpg screen-dump that I wanted to post here, but I can't work out how to do it. There is an icon called "insert image", but when I click on it I am prompted to enter a URL commencing http I tried copying the path to the file to the clipboard and pasting that over the http prompt but it did not seem to work. How do others do it? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotShot Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 You need to upload the picture to a webserver to have an URL for it. There are free services you can use for this.I don't use any of these, so i can't give a recommendation, but Instagram seems to be quite big.

1eyedjack Posted June 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 Yes I use one of these. Tried it and failed. Didn't like jpg on this forum. Not to worry, I posted a link to it instead. Must be down to the antiquated forum software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotShot Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 http://www.arriweb.de/GIB.jpg This was just a test, with an image google found on this forum site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1eyedjack Posted June 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 Perhaps there is a limit on byte size for the image. Mine was about 470Kb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 hotshot's image is about 420Kb. I can't find an image size limit in the forum settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotShot Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 Your Link: http://kvisit.com/Sv6eqAw does not point to a valid Image, instead it redirects to: http://www.keepandshare.com/doc/6984639/double-jpg-437kwhich is not a valid image either. It shows a download page there. Even if you use the link that is for view:http://www.keepandshare.com/doc/6984639/double-jpg-437k?da=yMy browser whats do download it instead of showing it.Which means it is not a valid image link either.

barmar Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 It looks like keepandshare.com isn't set up for hosting inline images, it's just for sharing documents by downloading. Use imageshack.com or imgur.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1eyedjack Posted June 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 TEST. Seems that keep and share does do it. I just needed to work out how to do it properly http://www.keepandshare.com/userpics/1/e/y/e/djack/2013-08/sb/p8180296-15039137.jpg?ts=1376821180 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
