How to add or embed a file, image / photo or video in a post
Posting a picture / image; how to embed an image in a post
HOW TO EMBED IMAGES: Not every Forum accepts the embedding of images; for those that do, please follow the FlyerTalk Rules. From the FlyerTalk Rules[:
8. Posting of Images link to this rule.
You may embed non-animated images in your posts. Your images must conform to all FlyerTalk content rules, must convey relevant, on-topic information and are not allowed in signature lines or user profiles other than in the space designated in your profile for your picture. (See also, Rule 2 — User Profiles.)
Please size your images large enough to get your point across but not so that they distort FlyerTalk standard column widths.
To attach a doc, docx, gif, jpe, jpeg, jpg, pdf, png, xls or xlsx from your device, see first post.
-OR-
To embed an image: - Click on the image (hosted by other than FlyerTalk) in question and "Copy image URL"
- Go to the post with the URL in the clipboard, place the cursor to where you wish the image placed
- Click on the
radio button directly above each post when you open it
- Paste the image URL into the popup
- the result should look like [ IMG]http://www.imagesource.com/image.jpg[/ IMG] (without the spaces in the IMG tag boxes)
- when you save your post, you should be able to see the image
This image link looks like this, without the extra spacing, in a post:
[IMG][/IMG]
If you wish to center:
looks like
[CENTER ][IMG ] [IMG]https://www.dfwairport.com/cs/groups/public/documents/webasset/p1_009894.jpg [/IMG ][/CENTER ]
If you're having trouble posting images and cannot seem to figure out why they aren't showing up in the post, make sure to check your profile settings. There is an option to display images or not, and that may be the source of the problems. To get to the setting, click on the My FlyerTalk link, then on the Edit Options link. On that page scroll down and make sure that the check box is selected next to the option "Show Images (including attached images and images in [IMG] code)" and save the settings. Hopefully that will fix things. (From Photography Forum)
