Admiral, please explain to us how to post snapshots for pictures instead of using links.

I use the area below the text box called "Attachments." You can click on the browse button and find a picture on your computer and click on UPLOAD. Then a snapshot of it will be in the message and when you click on it, you see the full size, like the one below, a picture of my son's Crew team shell.

Thank you for your information on embedding pictures in message postings. How do you do it for placing a rank insignia in your signature? There is no such Attachment box in that application.

I have no idea? Anyone else know? I am not a big fan of complicated sig blocks (and I am an active foe of large sig blocks)

Right, you can use the html img or the forum img tags in a signature.

 

If you have already attached an image somewhere, say you have a relevant image (that's small enough to fit A9's specifications, of course) in your character's bio that you've attached, you can get that image link either by copying it from directly from that or through the Manage Your Attachments section in My Controls then use that link with one of the img tags in the signature to keep the image "in house" so to speak.

 

Though that brings up an interesting question, one for A9: would you rather us use an image host (Photobucket, TinyPic, etc) for when we have a relevant image that we need to display (avatars, sig images, caption contest, etc) or would you rather we attach here? My own thought is that these image hosts are designed for exactly this purpose and that it would use less of STSF's server (both space and resources) to directly link an image from the external host.
