The Half Ashed Cigar Forum

Hi guys,
I thought it might be helpful to put a little pictorial guide together on how to upload photos with your posts. Here we go.

Pic 1: Forgive the spelling errors in the image. I fix them before posting. That being said, focus on the tabs in the approximate center of the photo. They show what needs to be clicked to start the process. Pic 2: By clicking the "add files" button, a dialog window pops up where you are required to find and select the file you would like to upload into the post. Pic 3: Once the file has been selected and double clicked, the dialog window will close and the file will show as being in the chute, awaiting inclusion. At this point, click the cursor where you'd like the image to show in the dialog text window where the post is being typed and then click "place inline". This will add a small segment of text which is the placeholder for the actual image in the final appearance. It's as easy as that. It should also be noted that the system has experienced a glitch in the past which DOES NOT allow for .JPG extension files to be posted. This usually goes away by the next day. I do not know why it occurs but have not asked Kip if he has an answer already.

Never heard of this. I haven't noticed it for me. Let me know next time it happens. I have no idea why that would be the case.

Also...if you want to post an image that is already hosted somewhere online (imgur, google photos, etc.), you can do that. Simply click the "Img" button when you are creating your post and paste a link to the image between the tags.

Normally the software takes care of resizing for you. It looks great on Tapatalk.
