As you may have seen, I described two ways to post an image. The first one is posted here:
http://forum.themarkettraders.com/read-m/7/35/35#msg-35
In both Firefox and IE, simply right click the link to your image and choose "Open in New Window".
You now should see the image in the newly opened browser window.
In Firefox, you can at this point simply drag the image into a post reply window.
In IE you need to mark the image by dragging the mouse pointer from outside the image with your left mouse button down towards the inside of the image. If the image darkens slightly you have succeeded. Now click "edit/copy". Now go to the reply window and click "edit/paste" and you should see the image in the reply window like this:
Click preview and if you're happy just post it.
The second set of instructions in this particular topic goes a little further in that it allows you to post an image as a link. This has the advantage that you can post a "thumbnail" or smaller picture but allow the viewer to click on the image to view it full size.
The following instructions address how to create a linked picture using your image as an example.
Open a notepad window and copy the HTML statements starting from "<html>" though "</html>" into that window.
<html>
<head><title> ... My workspace for a linked image ... </title></head>
<body>
<p> <a href="LinkURL">
<IMG SRC="ImageURL"
</a>
</p>
</body>
</html>
Now replace the text inside the double quotes in both "LinkURL" and "ImageURL" with your image URL. The notepad content should now look like this:
<head><title> ... My workspace for a linked image ... </title></head>
<body>
<p> <a href="http://www.eaglepointcharters.com/jpg/fishing%20reports/100_0121sm.jpg">
<IMG SRC="http://www.eaglepointcharters.com/jpg/fishing%20reports/100_0121sm.jpg"
</a>
</p>
</body>
</html>
Save this file to your desktop with the extension "htm" making sure that you replace the "text document" type with "all files" before naming the document "linkurl.htm".
You should see that document now on your desktop.
Double click it and a new browser window or tab should open with your image. Now simply drag or copy it into your post as described above depending on the browser in use.
By clicking on the image and dragging it from the lower right or upper right hand corner, you can now resize it. In general you want to use this procedure if you want to display a smaller image and allow the user to expand it in the bigger window. So make it smaller by dragging it towards the middle.
Put the text cursor below the image and continue to type or otherwise click the preview button and see if you are happy. Press post message and your post is done! Be sure to check that you can now click on the image to expand it.
Let me know if it worked.
