OK..........not what I had in mind.  Back to the drawing board.

Look for where it says BBCODE (Message boards and Forums) next to your picture. Hit copy and paste in wherever.

ST,
Your previous suggestion of finding a 10 year old kid to help me was a good one, but sadly she told me I was too ignorant and there was nothing she could do other than pity me. Even her pity was brief as she went back to killing the batteries on her tablet.

After some trial and error a was able to reduce the image sizes below 250 using “Paint”, the entire time being sure there must be a simpler way.
I made the mistake of asking a friend who does IT work for a suggestion on a photo hosting website.  He suggested Imgur.com.  I successfully posted a test photo to QJ, but my image was surrounded with advertising, so I immediately deleted the image from Imgur.

db had kindly offered early on to post for me, but I declined as it seemed like cheating.  Citing my need to learn to fish, not just be given one.

Thanks for your reply.  I will try to decipher your BBCODE reference.  I appreciate the help, even if you are over 10 years old.

Regards,

MossBack

If you want to display images inline for a trip report, you can host them anywhere and just link to the image itself like solotripper did. It looks like this.
Code (HTML)
[img]https://i.imgur.com/D6gR6K5.jpg[/img]

The brackets enclose the opening and closing html tags
so they do not show. Between the tags is the
URL (location) of the image to be displayed.


The board will automatically resize the picture to fit and when clicked on will display it full size. Just play around till you get it. You won't break anything.

MB,
You CAN do this buddy, like db says, just play around until you do.  Wink Grin Grin

When you click on this link, you'll see the images I uploaded. Click on one of them and you should see ALL your options to share them on the right-hand side.

You'll see the BBCODE and it will look like what db posted exactly.

ST....I'm getting closer.  What I posted is a snipped image of what your link above gave me.   "0" images.  Did I do something wrong again or are your images missing?  At least this time my posted image was not surrounded with advertising.  No idea what I did differently.

Small win.....but I will take it.

Maybe my trial and error(s) will at least cause a few chuckles out there in QJ Land.

Old Geezer trying to learn new tricks.

Kind Regards,
