Hey Bob, I placed an add in the “For Sale” section and uploaded a picture into the add. The picture shows in the edit frame but when I save it and the add re-appears the picture does not come up.
Can you help?
Chuck
Chuck - Looks to me like you just pasted the image into the edit box. When I quote your post I see the picture, but it has handles like an object. In the edit window it needs to be a url.
When you say “Uploaded a picture” How/where did you upload it?
Funny part is, when I am in the edit box after quoting your ad post I can drag that image to my desktop and I get the file! I think you may have just discovered a hidden feature of the editor :]
HELP BOB!!!
I’ve tried everything and can’t get a picture to load onto the “For Sale” post that I have. The pictures load up into the freight shed with no problem but I can’t get them from the freight shed into the post.
What am I doing wrong?
Chuck
Well Chuck, I do believe the Freight Shed is broken.
Double Clicking on the file name in the Freight Shed is supposed to put the URL of the picture in your post, but it just opens a copy of the picture. I see how you got the picture object - it can be dragged into the edit box. But that does not result in a valid picture link.
This will need Bob to look at.
As a work-around, when the picture is displayed in the Freight Shed window you can right click and Copy Image Location (with Firefox) then paste that link in your post. You will get a valid image.

Jon I did a copy/paste and I think it worked.
Quess it didn’t
That’s the same problem Chuck had. You can’t just copy and past teh picture itself, the forum software needs the URL. In Firefox it’s Right Click Copy Image Location, then paste that.
@Bob - Take a look at Randy’s post with the editor.
Yea, dont copy the picture itself, or drag it to the window. that doesnt work. You need the URL of the image, and JUST the url.

Like that?
I thinks I got it…thanks Bob.
OK I’ve tried everything and I still can get a picture to load up in the “Edit” feature. Or will photos only load up in the original post?
The worse part is I’m not even on my drugs anymore from my surgery.

That’s the code you need for a picture. That will produce this:

and in “edit” mode: leave out the space between the 2 t’s
