How do I include pictures in my message?

12 years ago

I know this has been addressed, but I can't seem to find the instructions when I search. I want to include pictures and a diagram in the body of my message, not just a link to Photobucket.

I found directions on how to add the link, but I don't know how to get the picture to show up in the message screen.

I either have not found the right instructions, or I am not reading them correctly.

Once I figure this out, I will post my real questions about bathroom layout. Thanks for your help.

Once you upload your picture(s) to Photobucket, hover over the thumbnail and you'll see a list of four options (Email & IM, Direct link, HTML code and IMG code) Cursor over the third option, HTML code, and click in the beige box to the right. Once you click, it will show "Copied". You are then ready to paste it directly into the text of your post, wherever you want the photo to appear. Like this,

When you preview the message, you should see your photo. You don't need to put anything into the boxes below where you type your message, just into the body of the message itself.

I hope that makes sense!!

15 years ago we repainted our old aluminum siding. Everyone said it couldnt be done because back then the siding was so chalky. It took us a month because we both worked and only had the weekends. On a Friday night, we scrubbed the one side of the house with TSP. On Saturday and Sunday we painted 2 coats of paint on that side (one coat each day). At the time we used the best Benjamin Moore exterior latex paint they had. It lasted for 10 years until the new homeowners added on and resided the house. So with the proper cleaning, and in your case I would buy a spray on primer, I think you can successfully repaint the metal and cement and be able to get quite a few years of enjoyment out of that old decking. Worst case senario, it fakes off and you replace it. I bet it works out fine.

Selecting the code... Click in the box that has the "HTML Code". If it doesn't highlight the entire box with the code, then you want to do a "select all" I don't know how you do this on a Mac, but don't you do this for other things? For non-Apple machines, press & hold the "Ctrl" key and press the "A" key. With a Mack, try the same thing except use the "apple" key instead of the "Ctrl" key. If "select all" doesn't work for you, then try manually selecting everything in the "HTML Code" box with your mouse by clicking the mouse where you want to start the selection and, while holding it down, dragging it to the end of what you want to select. Then, release the mouse and the section you just selected should be highlighted. In this case, you want to select everything in that box. Copying the code... Once you've selected the "HTML Code", either ...Right-click in the box and select the "Copy" option or ...Press and hold the "Ctrl" key and then press the "C" key (again, substituting the "apple" key for the "Ctrl" key might work, I'm not sure) Pasting the code into the Message box... Once you've copied the "HTML Code", go to the place in the Message box you want to put your picture. Then, either ...Right-click in the box and select the "Paste" option or ...Press and hold the "Ctrl" key and then press the "V" key (once again, substituting the "apple" key for the "Ctrl" key might work, I'm not sure) FYI...the "Test" forum no longer works/exists. I tried to use it a couple of weeks ago but I it didn't exist anymore.

You need to create an account in a site like photobucket. It is free. Then you upload your pix to photobucket. Please edit your pix to be messageboard size. Then you can go to your pix on photobucket, copy, then as you are typing in a message here, paste. You will see the html code. When you hit preview your pix will appear.

lovetocook where are you posting the pic from - the picture still needs to be "hosted" somewhere on the web - not just on your computer. It needs to have the http://www... as part of its address. The reason you're replacing all of that with stuff that seems very similar is basically to make sure that you don't make any errors in copying it - it's actually easier to copy the entire address than just part of it; because errors are all to common that way. Hope that makes sense.

Thank you. I think it is working. I thought I tried this last night, but the picture did not show up at that time. I will now go ahead and post a thread with my real questions.

By the way, what is the name of that granite? We are searching for something like this.

That's Moxuara which we are putting in our masterbath. It's similar to Magma Gold which may be a little easier to find.

I've see that Photobucket message about the missing image in quite a few posts but I'm not sure what causes it. Did you save your picture in Photobucket before copying the link?

Once I learned how to post pictures successfully, I uploaded a revised version of the picture I wanted to use for my other post with shower questions. I deleted the image that I used to test the system here. I trust that the better picture is still in place for the shower posting.

treasuretheday, thank you for the name of your granite. We are considering a similar granite, but we worry that it is too dark. What color tile, cabinet and paint are you using to go with it?

The Moxuara granite will be the darkest element in the room.

We're using a medium toned porcelain tile with travertine accents...

The walls are painted SW Kilim Beige and the ceiling is SW Divine White.

Our cabinets will be stained a medium brown.

I can't wait to see it all come together!
