Did You Know: Images in Replies
You can include pictures with your replies posted to the MyLargeScale (MLS) forums in a variety of ways.
[*]Using the Quick Reply Editor
This editor is located at the bottom of each Topic Page. [/list]
![]()
[*]While mainly intended for posting short textual replies, as indicated by the minimum of controls made available on the tool bar (i.e. Bold, Italic, Underlined, & Quote).
None the less, you can include references to image files within your reply providing the following. [*] The image files that you reference are available on the Internet already (e.g. Stored in your 1st Class web space on the MLS server, or some other Internet server).
[*]You are willing and able to manually enter the required coding using either UBB/BBC/Forum Code (i.e. Universal Bulletin Board, Bulletin Board Code respectively), or the HTML equivalent, as in the following examples. [/list] [/list] UBB/BBC/Forum Code Example:

HTML Example:
< img alt="" src="http://1stclass.mylargescale.com/stevec/Misc-Files/IconImages/folder-01.gif" />
[*]Using the Full-text Editor.
This is the editor accessed when using any of the following, Add Topic Button, Add Reply Button, Quote Link, Reply Link, & Edit Link (Note, all of the previously mentioned links are located on the right side of the reply header). [*]Using the Message Attachments [/list] [/list]
![]()
[*]As can be seen by the above image of the Message Attachments: area, up to three image files from your local computer may be up loaded as attachments to your reply. [*]There are restrictions as to the dimensions of the images (i.e. 640 pixels in width & 480 pixels in height), and image file size in bytes (i.e. 60KB or less) that may be uploaded. [*]Note, image files being attached to the reply can not be viewed in the Preview screens. This is because the image files are not uploaded to the MLS server until you click the Submit Button. [*]The images uploaded as attachments are always displayed following the textual portion of your reply, in the same sequence in which they were listed in the attachments fields. [*]These image files are not uploaded to your MLS 1st Class web space, they are uploaded and stored in a totally separate area not accessible to the user. Additionally, the file name is automatically changed and given a new numerical name. [*]Using the Insert/Edit Image tool bar button
![]()
[*]Clicking this button will cause the Image Properties - Web Page Dialog to display.

[*]The first step is point to the URL field with your mouse and click it to bring the focus to the field. [*]Next, if you're using the copy/paste method to capture the image file's URL, then simply use {CTRL+V} to paste the value in the field. Or you may manually type the value in if you so desire. [*]With your mouse click the Border field and notice that all or part of your image is displayed in the Preview area. [/list] [/list]
(For those that have noted the seemingly meaningless text displayed in the Preview window of the dialog, it's called "lorem ipsum" and if you'd like to find out more about where it came from and why it's used the following link should explain all Lorem ipsum)
[*]Type the numeric value 2 in the Border, and notice a 2 pixel wide border has been applied to the image. [*]All that remains is clicking the OK button at the bottom of the dialog. [*]When the dialog clears and you're returned to the editor text entry area, you'll find the image displayed where you last had the cursor located prior to clicking the Insert/Edit Image button. [*]If inserted on a blank line, then most likely the image will be aligned to the left side. If you wish to center the image simply point to it and click it with the mouse. Notice that when your mouse pointer is over the image it is a 4-way arrow, also when you click the image it displays resizing handles. To center it left-to-right click the Center Justify button

. [*]Making an Image a Link [*]This is one way to display a small image in your reply and link it to a larger image so the user can click the small image and have the large display on demand. [*]Create the image link as described above, but before clicking the OK button. [*]Click the Link tab instead. [/list] [/list]
![]()
[*]On the Link tab click the URL field and enter the URL of the large image file (i.e. copy/paste or manual entry). [*]Click the drop down button on the Target field, select and click the New Window [_blank] item. [*]Now as before click the OK button at the bottom of the dialog. [*]After the dialog clears and you're returned to the editor text entry area you'll see the small image displayed. [*]Use one of the Preview options and after the preview window displays click the small image and the larger image should be opened in a new browser window. [*]The following is an example of how it is supposed to work. [/list] [/list]

How did you copy and display all those wonderful images you used in this post and many others when showing us what to do?
I have tried to do the same and it does not let me copy.
