WSS photo experiment

[mollinary]

Well, I have experimented, with masses of Leon's help, at posting from imgur to the Paining Competition.  Here I will have a go on my own at posting a confrontation between some French and Spanish dragoons, and three battalions of Dutch infantry. All perfectly qualified for the Competition apart from the fact it contains one unit painted by the hugely talented Kev Rouse. Can you tell which?  Assuming I succeed in attaching the picture!  https://imgur.com/zTSqfMH.jpeg[/img]

Close, but no cigar

You had

Code Select Expand

but needed this

Code Select Expand

And very nice they look

I am still confused. Now I seem to have posted a link which will take you to the picture, but not the picture itself! And I cannot see the Code Paul is referring to!  But many thanks to him for posting the picture anyway.

Mollinary, do you have an add image button on the reply bar here? It's a little blue and white square with a green circle and white + on it between the YouTube button and the ink button on the 5th set of icons along the top of the post bar.

If you tap on that it'll pop up a little window with URL, Width and Height. If you put the image link, https://imgur.com/zTSqfMH.jpeg, into where it says URL and tap insert it should add it into your post for you. No need to mess with the tags or code anymore.

You were almost spot on with that one, it just needed the [ img] tag at the beginning of your code, so it would look like:

(but without the spaces in the tags)

Hi

When I use Imgur I simply get the particular photo on screen, to the right of the photo is a list of blue 'buttons' each with the word 'copy'. The 5th one down is headed "BBcode (message boards and forums)", I simply right click the blue 'copy' button, go back to the relevant Pendraken forum page, right click again and then click on 'paste' and it appears thus:



Then check the preview option below and that's it.

I do not have to do anything at all to the 'link' or use any 'tags' or any of the icons above the message bit.

Cheers Paul

That's interesting, I don't think those options appear on mollinary's Imgur account?

[/img].   Well this time I chose that option, and this is what I got!

That one's almost worked as well, but it's got some extra image tags on it.  If you've pulled that from the blue button that Paul mentions then you wouldn't need to click the Image button like we'd used previously.  You can just paste straight into your reply.

How do I "just paste into my reply"?

Same as pasting any other piece of text really, so on a PC it would be Ctrl+V or right-click the mouse and hit 'Paste'.  On a tablet/phone it would usually be holding at the point you want to paste and then the options will come up on screen.  I'd imagine the iPad would be roughly the same as that?
