How to post pictures on the Ask a Question Pages?

Question

I tried to copy the URL for my pictures from Mexico to post them on here. Something weird happened and I guess they didn't post. If anyone has any advice I'd really appreciate the help. (:

You should have left the code for the pictures so that we could have looked at it. - 0074b507, Sep 8, 2011

Try it again, but don't delete the coding if the pictures are not visible. - 0074b507, Sep 8, 2011

Answer 1

The coding should look something like the coding for the picture below. Edit my reply to see the coding. The editor will only show certain image formats like jpg or bng. What is the extension for your image files? (gif, tif, bmp, etc.) If the URL is to an image hosting site like Photobucket the images are probably in a suitable image format. They may be too large (too many pixels to display, if you used a newer digital camera). You may have to reduce their file size.

Hmmm. I don't know why I'm having such trouble with it. Thank you for your help. I tried again in the next comment and its still acting up. - JessieRichelle, Sep 8, 2011

Go to the picture that is online. Right click on it and select 'Copy image location'. Then, while writing your post, above the white box in which you type, you should see a little icon that looks a bit like a Polaroid of something blue. It's to the right of the giant quotation marks and to the left of the number list button. Click on that and paste the link you've just copied into the box. That's it. Hope it works for you

Answer 3

This doesn't work because the URL is secured behind a login page. Your image url should directly address an image, not a web page. - pesta, Sep 9, 2011

Oh! Alright. Thank you! - JessieRichelle, Sep 9, 2011
