For obvious reasons standard HTML code cannot be used in posts. Instead QuietJourney allows the use of Bulletin Board Code in posts. Similar to HTML, but safe and standardized for bulletin board use.

Emoticons
Emoticons are a fun way to express your emotion in your posting. They can help you indicate whether you are joking, happy, sad, or a variety of other things. Each emoticon uses standard chat-style key-strokes, so it requires no thinking on your part.

I still don't get how to insert a picture.  I'd like to add a pic of my pike.

Can I only insert a picture that is already on the web with a link?

I just noticed this topic had fallen to page 2. 

Since people always have questions about this type of stuff, I'd put it near the top again...

i still have trouble inserting a web link....so i type exactly as it says at the top of this thread....
[url=http.//site.com] ....

but then what should i do? when I preview it, I see the full web page address...can i insert a word like "Here" in its place? I am lost.

I must be a moron....

DD,

About 3 years ago, I printed out the code(s), cropped it and taped it under my keyboard.  Typing it in is really much faster than cut/paste.

just testing this out

Open the image you want to post. Copy the url. If you want it to display in your post, put image tags around it.

Pasting the url into a post will simply link to it.

If you want to get fancy:

Be sure to close every tag you open and they are nested properly.

Opening the image itself in a new window is the easiest way to get the URL of the image. Your URL is for the page.

On most MAC browsers it's "open image in a new window." (Option click and/or hold and wait for the menu - I forget what key command my right click adds)

In Firefox, (MAC or WIN) right click on the image and select "view image" or better yet "copy image location." Then you can just paste it from your clipboard.

In Windows Explorer, right click on the image and select "properties." You should be able to select and copy the image URL from that properties window.

I'm not very familiar with Windows. Perhaps someone knows an easier way??

I know the feeling. Now you'll never forget though.

Bumping this up to the top.  I use this post a lot to cut/paste the code and it had slipped to the second page of the thread.

guess not.

Thanks Tom. Let's see if that works.
