How did you put the picture on the thread please Stefan?

[_Stefan_Kuntz]

The picture was on a web site, so I right-clicked on it and took the option 'Copy Image Address'.

Then I got into this here web site at the point where I could put something into a post.

Then I right-clicked and took the option 'Paste' which puts the url/link into the post.

Then I put '[IMG]' before the first character of the url/link and '[/IMG]' after the last character of the link. Do this without the single quote marks.

Alternatively, there is an 'Insert Image' option to do this which is one of the options just above where you begin to post. Just left-click on it, paste the url and left-click on 'OK'. The image will go where you last put the cursor in the post.

But this will not process images that it discovers are above a certain size, which mine probably was. So if you do it my way it will accept bigger images.

I hope that the explanation is clear but get back to me if it is not.

The gist is :-
Get the url of a picture.
Paste it into a post.
Insert '[IMG]' immediately before the beginning of the url and '[/IMG]' immediately after the end of the url. (Leave out all of the 4 quotes.)
This will process pictures up to and beyond the rather small size limit allowed by the 'Insert Image' option.

That worked 🥲🤨😀

You did not quite follow all the instructions correctly.
Your effort was correct except that you should have omitted all 4 of the ' (single quotation marks).
Take them out and it will work.
Do not leave any spaces anywhere in the expression, from the first bracket to the 4th bracket.

You will then get this :-


I copied your almost correct expression and just deleted all four ' quotation marks and the space after Large.

Your image will work but only with my method. Using the standard Insert Image (just above where you type the first line of a post) it comes up with 'Invalid Image' because it is larger than that process allows.

Come on BDB, you are almost there. Have another go. Copy your almost correct effort, leave out the 4 ' and it works. Having done it successfully once it is then easy.
