Hi Kenny

When you are either in "Post a New Thread", Post a New Reply" or in "Full Edit" | "Edit this Post" mode you can use the following to add graphic images to your posts.

1. Adding image from another website.
   Click on the "Insert an image" icon above. Add URL (location of image on external website) and set the optional Width and or Height.
   eg. Insert https://www.wamqld.com/forum/images/focus/logo.png for URL and then click on Insert.
   
   
   
   
   
2. Adding a video from a video server.
   Click on "Insert a Video"icon above. Select a video type - usually YouTube or Vimeo. Add Video URL (location of specific video on video server).
   eg. Select YouTube, then Insert https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrI20bCA-FQ and then click on Insert.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
3. Now for Attachments.
   Scroll down in your Post or Edit Post page and see the Attachments section. Each member of this Forum has a limited space to store their own Attachments. Notice immediately under the heading Attachments you have an indication of how much space you have used and a link to "View My Attachments". Using this link enables you to preview and delete from your collection.
   
   To add an Attachment Click on the Browse button. This will open a new window where you navigate your own PC to where you have your images stored. Once selected you now need to click on the "Add Attachment" button.
   
   Next you place the cursor where you would like to see the image. Then click on the "Insert Into Post" button.
   eg. When you click to attach to a post I see you will see the attachment=xx surrounded by square brackets appear. Then I usually click on the Preview Button to see how this will be viewed once posted.
   
      
   
   Note that you can also remove attachments should you change your mind.
   
   

So hopefully this will help. Adding images and video certainly adds character to your posts. Exploit this feature at your leisure.

Later I will edit this post, create a Forum Tutorial section and then shift this post to be a reference for future forum users.

Happy Landings
AceTutor.

PS. Kenny - hope you view this video. Andrew Newton lives in Tasmania and his YouTube channel is highly commendable to all scratch builders!
