Using the Insert Image icon to insert a photo
Step 1
Click on the
Insert Image icon
Step 2
On the
From Computer tab click on
Choose File. When you click on Choose File, this will take you to your camera roll or where you store your photos on your device.
Step 3
[
Tip: Crop your picture first as some device photos are too big and you will get an error message.]
Select the photo you want to insert (you can only select 1 photo at a time). When you do this you will come back to the Insert screen and the name of the file will now show next to the Choose File box.
Step 4
Click on the
Upload File(s) words. When you do this you will come back to the Quick Reply box and you will see that in the Reply box there is now a code called [ATTACH=CONFIG]number[/ATTACH]
You can now select the Post Quick Reply button.
If you want to see your picture before you post it, you can use the
a/A button (in the green box) to toggle between the Attach codes and the photo. You simply click on the toggle button again to take it back to the words. So when I click on the toggle button my picture of the Gingerbread person now looks like this:
To make your photo bigger you need to have the toggle on so your picture is visible (as above). This is much easier to do on a computer. Double click on your photo and you will get a new screen called Image Settings. The Medium setting is quite a good size and looks better on all devices than the Large or Full Size setting. You can repeat the instructions to see what the different sizes look like by editing your post. Once you're happy with the photo, click on the OK button.
