Title: How to Add Photos to a Post
Post by: TerryWerm on Oct 19, 2024, 10:38 AM
Adding photos to a post can be done in a couple of different ways and I will cover them both here. Photos can be stored here, on the forum, or they can be stored elsewhere, such as a photo hosting service or on a different website altogether. Where the photo is stored or will be stored tends to make all the difference in how it gets attached to a post.

ATTACHING PHOTOS DIRECTLY TO A POST


There are some points to consider when attaching photos:


ADDING EMBEDDED PHOTOS

Embedded photos are always done as links to photos stored elsewhere such as a photo hosting service or another website. Embedded photo links do not take up any room on our server beyond the space taken by the text of the link itself. This is both good and bad. Good because we save space. Bad because if the photo is not maintained or disappears from its host site, it disappears from our thread as well.
