Hi all

I started a thread about this in the totally inappropriate D&D Minis General Discussion Forum, but will restart it here having realised I should have done so in the first place.

The help feature over on the left there states that to insert a picture in a post, I should "Click on the pictures icon to the right of the smiley face on the rich text editor"

The trouble is, my message editor toolbar looks nothing like the one in the supplied picture.  The only buttons I have on my text editor are "bold", "italics", "underline" and "quote".

Is this a bug (I am using IE 6.0) or am I doing something daft ?

My current theory is that the browser loads one of two types of editor, "Rich Text" and "Basic".  I appear to get the "Basic" editor.  Is there an option somewhere (maybe in my profile) to set this to "Rich Text".

Or maybe I am way off base and it is something else entirely.

Thanks in anticipation of your help.

Frank

Sounds like the help file needs updating since the most recent forums incarnation.

Easiest method of posting a pic is directly from your hard drive. Underneath the "Body" section when entering text, there is a section called "Message Attachments." Simply click "Browse," navigate through your computer to the correct picture file, then click "Open." When you click "Submit" to post the message, the picture will be loaded into the body of the message.

Alternate method: click on HTML at the bottom of the "Body" section (next to Design). Type in:

img src="http://www.yourlinkhere.com">/img

Just change yourlinkhere.com to whatever the link to the hosted image is. Also, add a < to the left of img and surround /img with < and >

Hopefully this helps.

Thanx for the help.  Bloomin obvious now I know.  The help file was a real red herring :-)
