Links/Attachements

Good Morning Gents.

I have two recent purchases I'd like to share with you all, but I need to know how to add links and attachments to my posts. Can anyone help?

Thanks.

This looks like a time to quote the FAQ, which can be found here.

How do I attach a photo?
Follow these simple steps:

1. Upload your image to a server. You can use either your own ISP (internet service provider) or image hosting sites such as: http://system.freepgs.com; www.fotki.com; or www.photobucket.com.

2. Once you have uploaded your photo and can see it in your browser, put your cursor over the photo and right click. Select properties, which will show you the Internet "address" of the photo. Highlight this address and copy it.

3. To attach the image to a post at The Fedora Lounge, start a post and click on the little image icon above the text field. A pop up box will allow you to paste the address of your image. When you are finished, Click "ok." The photo will appear with your post. Only certain types of files may be attached: these are the valid file extensions for files to be attached to this forum.

After posting, the attachment will show up in the body of your message. To view the contents of the attachment (if it is not already displayed) simply click the filename link that appears next to the attachment icon.

Hope that helps.

I've found that Photobucket works best for me. Once the image is added to your folder, there's a URL shown below it - just copy the URL and paste it into your post here using the Image icon.
