your using the img tags right but use a slash before the img like this /img

Angel_Q Oct 23, 2003 07:04 AM

The only thing that you´ve missed is the / in the last [img]
It should look like this

Angel_Q Oct 23, 2003 07:05 AM

sorry.. the last

Angel_Q Oct 23, 2003 07:07 AM

hm if you just put / before the last img.. I hope you understand this

LeoBeginner Oct 23, 2003 07:07 AM

yeah, I tried the / but it didn't work (the image didn't come up), so I was trying the because I couldn't remember if that was right. Accidently hit 'Post' rather than 'Preview'. Ooops. My mind doesn't work before my 8:30am break...

I still can't get it to post multiple pics with the /. It just puts up the box with an X through it. Yet the image link field at the bottom works fine. Gonna have to figure something else out. Maybe a web link...

Thanks for the help anyway.

upload all your pics to king snake then you can load the images using the img tags

LeoBeginner Oct 23, 2003 07:15 AM

What do I do to upload? Upload to where?

Sorry to all forum members. I know I'm wasting space talking about pictures and uploading. If nothing else, maybe this will help others figure out how to post...

Last question (I hope).

Now that I have uploaded a file, how do I link to it. I know to use the image tags, but I'm confused as to what goes inside. I've tried a few things. the pics have been uploaded and I now have an option at the bottom of this message to include one of them from a pull down menu. But what can I type in the message body inside the img tags to get an image to show up?

I suspect it's something like 'http://forums.kingsnake.com/images/something.jpg'

one of my pics is labelled "Hiding In Her Cave-44613HidingInHerCave.jpg" in the pull down menu.
