I appreciate there are those who have more use for it but I suspect most get one because they like techno toys - not that there's anything wrong with that - I just like other kinds of toys.

Can someone answer this dumb question?

Whenever I attach an image to a post all I get is a teeny thumbnail yet when others do it I see a large size version of the image as well. What do you need to do to achieve that?

(Confirming my absolute luddite status here).

Ok....once you have posted your thumbnail, click on it to bring up the full sized image.

Now....cut the full sized pics URL out of the address bar, then click the back button. Next, click on the edit button to edit your post.

Under your posted text, right click and paste the address you just cut out.

Now, highlight the address by clicking and dragging your mouse over it.....then click on the "insert image" button (little yellow postcard with mountains!) to add the IMG tags.

Submit your edited post and you are done!!

Ta Da!

Thanks guys.

I think I follow that but it's far too late on a Friday to have a go - brain has turned to mush after too many 15 hours days this week.

I'll have a crack at it next week.

Talk about making a career out of something...

Just try this...
  • Use "Manage Attachements" to attach the images.
  • When you close the manage attachements window, the files are listed in the "Attach Files" section.
  • Just right-click on the filename and "Copy shortcut".
  • In the correct place in your post, where you want the big image, position the cursor, then click on "Insert Image" control.
  • Control-V or right-click "Paste" into the "text to be formatted" prompt, and click OK. Don't worry about trying to delete the "http://" bit - the paste will sort that out.

Viola - too easy!

Cheers,
Hymee.
