Including pictures in posts - how-to

[Bas]

Uploading photos and including them in forum posts is easier than it used to be. But, judging by the # of PMs I get and Help Desk posts, this still stumps quite a few people. DaveO did an excellent writeup not too long ago, but it has become somewhat obsolete with the addition of the "insert image from Gallery" feature recently added to the site.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, and a video is basically a lot of pictures in sequence, then a video is.......eh...a LOT of words! I recorded a short video tutorial explaining the process. What do you think? Useful?

Fantabulous!!! So many people will come to love the sound of your voice! :thumbs_up:thumbs_up
Only thing that might be worth mentioning, but not worth redoing the video, is that you can select multiple files using various using the traditional key combinations (ctrl, shift etc) while in the Select Files for Upload file selection window.

I sure look forward to this getting out there, gonna save us a lot of time.

Thanks,
Jim

Awesome Bas, that is the best tutorial I have ever seen. Could you get William Shatner to do a voice over, that would rock!!

Very nice. That should cut down on the picture questions.
