What am I doing wrong? Just use the bit in bold - I've copied & pasted it and it appears as the pic, as above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ensure that it appears embedded and not as a link/plain text etc When you paste the link, you should see the picture appear and a small black box appear below it stating if you want it to appear as a link... If it's still faffing, try postimages.org - it's free to use and very easy to use; you just use the 'Direct Link' line and again, copy & paste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 See attached screenshot The black bar at the bottom of the picture is what you want to see when you pop the link into the box and then it appears as the picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnH Posted September 13, 2022 Author Share Posted September 13, 2022 (edited) Thanks dan. I dont get any black line. I did the above pic by using the "Other Media" button, bottom right, the "Insert image from URL" This seemed to work, but when I logged off and went back to the topic the post had disappeared. Logon again and there it is. Weird. Anyway dan, thanks for all your help. Edited September 13, 2022 by JohnH testing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
