Posting Images?

[Lloyd H.]

How do you upload images from your PC? When I select "image" from the message toolbar I get prompted for a URL. No "browse images" for upload?

There's no uploading of images directly to the HFC. They must be hosted elsewhere.

The excerpt below and the rest of the FAQ are located here.

Q: How do I post images?

A: Two ways:

1. If the image is hosted somewhere in Cyberspace Hit the "IMG" button above the text box, paste in the FULL PATH to the image, and hit the "IMG" button again (or "Close Tags"). You will see something that looks like this: . In this example, your image will appear within your typed message.
2. This alternate example is friendlier to those without a high speed Internet connection, and is a variation of the example above. In this example, you paste the full path to the image into the body of your post without hitting the IMG button. This will provide the viewers with a link to the image. The images can be as large as you like, you can list as many as you want, and dial up users won't crash when they open the thread. This also gives those interested the option to click on the link to view the image, or continue to browse the thread without waiting for the images to load.

Note: Uploading of images is not enabled.
