How to write above individual pics in a RR

[chupacabra]

I'd like to do a RR and discuss the pics above each. What is the easiest way to do this. It seems like the there was a tutorial or something that described the process, but I can't find it.
thanks

Get a photobuxcket account, and upload the images, then there are 4 tags for the pictures... Select the code or tag at the very bottom, and copy and paste it... it will look like text, but then hit preview post, and it will display the pics when youpost it

I just space between pics and write in above them.
Space bar takes care of everything...

make sure everything checks out

-post!

(I usually end up using that preview button a bunch of times before something goes up)

Yeah, it's easier to use web based images, otherwise they go in as attachments.

If your photos are hosted on STR it's pretty simple. Takes a couple steps, but the process is easy once you get the hang of it. How I do it:

-Upload photos to appropriate folder in my account. Keep folder open.

-Open second window/tab, navigate again to STR, start thread to write RR.

-Write RR, leaving double spaces where I want pics. to go.

-Now the crux--click original window (with photo folder still open), find desired photo, and click to open. Right click photo, select "Properties," then highlight and copy "Location."

-With "Location" copied, again click window/tab with the RR, place cursor where you want pic. to go, then click the "Insert Image" button on the toolbar. Where it asks for the URL of the image, right click and select "Paste." Address for selected image should appear in window. Hit OK. Repeat as necessary.

-Once you've copied and pasted all pics., hit "Preview Post" to check your work. Tweak as necessary, "Preview Post" 'til satisfied, then hit "Submit Reply." Done.


Sounds trickier than it is--couple times through and it's a snap. Hosting on other sites only adds a step or two tops, so these pointers should hold regardless of where your pics. are stored.

Hope that helps.
