Testing image attachment

[10mph]

I have been trying to work out how make an image show in a posting.

I assumed I first have to attach an image to the post in order to upload it.

Then I click the image icon and that adds

[IMG]http://[/IMG].

I have tried replacing http:// with the full link of the attachment and get

which is just a link which works but does not display inline.

I have tried nightingale.jpg, but the link is incomplete since it is obviously needs the http:// in order to look for an image.

[IMG]nightingalehill.jpg[/IMG]

gives

If I try to link to a specific image visible on the web eg replace x with M in the following code:

[IxG]http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/content_images/pedlogomini.JPG[/IxG]

I get

which works fine, but how can I address an image that I have attached? Obviously attachment is the wrong thing to be doing. How do you upload?

I could go on with trial and error, but perhaps some kind person will let me into the secret?

While I am on about the website it would be nice is the libnks on the forum to other non-forum pages of the website could be fixed. At present they are clearly being generated wrongly eg the link to the home page is

http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/cgi-bin/axs/ax.cgi?http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/

I opened your uploaded image in another browser window and copied the URL

Then I pasted the URL into this reply and put it inside the

tags

That is very clever.

Let me try that....

Wow! It works. Many thanks

Two ways to post photos:

First way: Click the paper clip button above the reply box and have a look at the photo size rules there for different file types. Then make sure the picture conforms to those rules, and preferably is sized to 800 x 600 pixels or less to avoid the huge oversize things that some insist on posting.

If all's well, browse to your image from that paperclip button box, then upload it and close that box. Then click the paperclip button again and you'll see the image name, click on that and it will be attached at the point of your cursor in the text box, shown as "Attach etc Attach". Then complete your reply.

Second way: If you have somewhere to post pictures online like flickr.com or similar, you can display those here in this way. Just go to your web image, right click it and select Copy Image Location from the context menu, or if that doesn't show, click Properties on the context menu that appears and highlight and copy the URL there on the Properties page. Then return to the Reply box here, position the cursor below the text where you want the photo to appear and click the yellow mountain scene icon above. You'll get a box to paste in the link and ok it.

Then submit the reply and your photo will appear.

That is me measuring my frontal area when on my push bike. I think I should use a coefficent of about 1.1 to give approx aerodynamic drag
