Then use the Mountain Yellow "Insert Image" Button!

I don't have access to FB at work so I can't exactly speak on how best to link those images. The Insert Image button ONLY works if you are linking to a .jpeg, .gif etc...image file.

Wooooooooooohoooooooooooo!!!!! Finally.... with a bit of patience and following calorific input we have a sunset in the Caribbean.

Thanks stan1541.

Considering RI is 47 miles x 35 miles, we are close to everyone. Tiverton is a nice area...we are actually about 35 miles from there.

I think you might have missed one step meg.....click on the box that says 600 after you click on "Link to it" and before you cut and paste the link.

Alpha our friends from last Cruise live in Cumberland, our father born in Wyoming, RI & mother in Woonsocket. My sister & I were born over in Edgwood, after parents married. His sister lived in Cranston. We moved out to So calif back in 1945 where my sister and I have continued to make this our home. We each have made several trips to RI

Hi Desert Cruizers....well, you know what they say...you can take the girl out of RI, but you can't take the RI out of the girl. LOL

You do have a lot of RI connections. Many very close to where I am. It sure is a small world these days!

I've lived here all my life and I love it. New England may be cold in winter, but it is so beautiful and I can't imagine not living close to the ocean.

Howdy Y'all! Welcome to the Need Help Using The Boards? Ask Here! Forum!

Per the Guidelines we all agreed to follow when registering for our free membership, another host moved this thread to this forum. It was off-topic on the previous forum since the subject did not pertain to cruising. This is the correct forum where members find the "How to ..." type of information for using the Cruise Critic software such as avatars, signatures, countdown clocks or tickers, thread subscriptions, etc.

When you post a photo as an attachment to a Cruise Critic post, Cruise Critic "hosts" the image for you. The software allows only six images to be attached to one post. They appear as thumbnail images. The thumbnail is clicked and a larger image appears.

For posting a photo in a Cruise Critic post you need to find a photo hosting service on the Internet. In particular, one that will allow "hot linking" so that your photo can be displayed inside a web page that belongs to someone other than the hosting service. You upload your photo there, and get the URL (web address) of the photo. Then use the Insert Image icon to insert the image link into your post. The photo should appear in the post, not the link. Again, vBulletin allows only up to six images in a Cruise Critic post and this includes smilies.

But please be considerate if you choose to do this, as big image files take time to download, particularly for your fellow Cruise Critic members who are on dial-up connections. Very large photos will distort the appearance of Cruise Critic pages, especially for those Cruise Critic members with smaller screens. Please re-size your photos before posting their link in your post.

, numerous test posts in this thread have been moved to the TEST FORUM at http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=225. That is the ONLY place where test posts should appear. The thread is titled Test posts from the "How to upload pictures 101" thread at http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1098834.

Thanking you in advance for your future cooperation, and with your pictures!
