I get a lot of questions on how to separate attached photos with text like I did in my split case rebuild thread. I have seen the question in other threads. There are several ways to do this. One is making a hot link from your pics saved on another site and placing them throughout your post.

The other way, and the way that most people are curious about works like this:

Click the paper clip icon and load your three pictures like you normally would. Once loaded click the "Close Window" button at the bottom of the window.

Type your comment and when you are ready to put a pic in, click the drop down next to the paper clip. A drop down will appear with the names of your pictures. Click the name of the picture you want to put in the post and it will be placed wherever your cursor is.

There you have it. Pics in text!

You can now cut and paste the line of code somewhere else in the post if you want and even somewhere else on Mud. You can also center the pic or right justify it or whatever.

I see some guys using another member's picture in their posts. Is there a way to do this without saving it and reattaching it?
Can you access the line of code for someone else's attachment?
 
right click the image and select 'properties' - you'll find the attachment number there

see my edit to your post....

right click image, 'save image location'

[ img ] ctrv-v (paste) [ /img ]
 
attachment.php


Okay, I think I cheated by just copying the attachment location from the properties, then pasting it into the "insert image" popup.

Maybe that's what you were saying, just using [ img ] ctrv-v (paste) [ /img ]

Thanks!
 
Just testing

Great info, works perfect. Is there a way to put more then 3 pictures at at time?

Thanks

Okay. New here to the forum a pic posting. I've posted two pictures on a thread and now it won't let me post another. Says I've got too much uploaded already.
A. How do I remove the old attachments?
B. Will that remove the photos from the thread they're posted in?
C. How do I keep from filling up my allowed data? And can't I keep posting decent sized photos without having to shrink them to next to nothing to save space?
 
As covered in the User Guide thread (which, BTW, was required reading during registration), you have a VERY limited attachment space...

re-read the User Guide thread :)

(I know I know...stupid directions...)
