I have been away from posting threads on the FSM Forum. In the meantime, I have notices changes in the Forum format. My question is, how do I post photos and videos in the Forum subject of “Ships” ? Please send your Reply to: avsjerome2003@yahoo.com. Thanks
Okay, I’ll admit that I was a rocket scientist (aerospace engineer, really), but it’s not that hard, really, I promise. (There are several ways to do this. Just follow the sound of my voice…)
On Photobucket, upload one or more photos and you’re halfway there…
Go to the Album page and click on the thumbnail. This brings up a viewing window.
In another tab/window, fire-up the FSM forum composition panel you want to post into. Compose. When you’re ready to insert your photo…
Go back to the Photobucket tab. Highlight the SECOND entry (the Direct Link button). Do NOT do anything that disturbs the copy buffer.
Once again, go to the FSM post-in-progress. On the SECOND tier of the message control bar, the TENTH icon. It says ‘Insert Media’… CLICK IT.
Another panel opens! You’re almost there…
‘Send’ (Ctrl-V) the URL you copied from Photobucket four steps back. The ‘Insert Media’ panel closes and your image is inserted, like this…
THAT’S IT! The rest is just the fiddly bits & formatting.
