Re: Testing to Learn using editors - to post pictures

Aha; I just visited the User CP. Kevin had mentioned the toolbar, but I was set to use the Basic editor, and I didn't HAVE a toolbar. I just went to the next level up, and now I see a toolbar. I'll have to play with this to find out how to post a picture!

There! just put in my first smiley ever! Now, I have to go find the URL for a picture to post. One of mine, of course.

I don't know if this will work, because I'm set on Coherent Dog to prevent hot-linking! Anyway, this link is to a page, rather than to a picture, but the page contains the picture I'm thinking of.

Well, I can see right away, a link to an image doesn't work if you are in fact linking to a page, not an image! So now I need to go look in my photo album here.

I think I got it; let's see. This is the Patience Hat Vekkie wears and offers to forum members.



Looks as though that should work.

Now I'm worn out, from playing with new, scary stuff! I always (usually; ha!) work in plain text only! That's partly because I'm on dial-up.

Playing in the middle of the night, as usual. Kumbi says, it's BEDTIME, Mum! Okay, Kumbi; I'm coming!

Hey Carol,
Hmm...All I see is a red X in a square window

Re: Testing to Learn Changing Title

Patty - that's better than what I see- what I see is just a blank space!

I saw an "[IMG]" code (or something like that) in there before I saved the post, but not after I did!

Guess I need to review the instructions! I went back to the basic editor, so now I don't even have a toolbar, and can't try again now. Too tired, anyway! But I'm not giving up! I'll be back; haha!

No, Kumbi, I WON'T stick you again tonight!

Re: Testing to Learn Changing Title (posting pic)

Now I'm going to try this again, after running into instructions in the Diabetes Discussion forum.

Hope to post a copy of Vekkie's Patience Hat, which is in my photo album here.



There! That's not what I did the LAST time, and now, I see a little icon that looks as though it stands for an image.

So maybe it will work THIS time.

Also,I changed my editor settings to use the Advanced Editor, which I didn't do before, either - used the middle one.

Sometimes - usually - it takes me a lot of tries to learn!

Incredibly, Kumbi came to see me - right at his Prick-Time, poor boy, so, of course, in the middle of writing this, I stopped to prick him.

We're getting to nadir time; I'm working on trying to reduce what looks like rebound. Well, it's somewhere around Day 3 of this, and I've resisted the temptations to change the current dose I chose of 6.0 iu of Novolin-NPH - and - at 15:30, a common nadir time, we have 6.3 mmol/L, which is 114 mg/dL. Don't want to be dropping much lower than that! But will test again at five.

And eventually, report in Kumbi's thread on the Diabetes Discussion Forum.

I don't see a thing! Maybe it's my settings for READING!

Who knows! That's my last effort on this for the moment! I'll be back, though!

Hey! Wonder if I forgot to actually INSERT the image, from my clipboard! I'll try that now. Nope; can't do it from where I am.

Re: Testing to Learn Changing Title - pics - permissions?

Maybe the reason pictures don't show up in my posts is that I don't have permission to attach files to messages?

Re: Testing to Learn Changing Title

Having a go at posting some pics:


and another go with slightly different BB code:

Re: Testing to Learn Changing Title

And the difference? It's a minor difference in the BB code. I've put a "*" in the stop it working so you can see it as text. (I've also bolded the important word so copying this via copy and paste won't work):

(The one that didn't work)
[*IMG]http://www.k9diabetes.com/forum/album.php?albumid=138&pictureid=765[/IMG]



(and the one that did)
[*IMG]http://www.k9diabetes.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=138&pictureid=765[/IMG]

Why it works this way I don't know - but that is the way it is!

Re: Testing to Learn Changing Title

There are two ways to get the right URL for the picture. One is to simply delete the first "album" and type in "picture" - which is what I did here.

The other way is to go to the album via the user profile then, once you are viewing the picture you want, you right click on it and select "Open in new tab". Once you are there (the new tab) copy the URL (it will have "picture" instead of "album" and so will work.)
