Try another image

... but it didn'r embed the image 🙁

Ken, I see this is driving you crazy, and apparently no one wants to address the matter..

I mentioned previously that I think it takes site administrative action to be able to post images..

Drupal and others forums software utilize the "img" tag to enable members to embed an image in their post.
I am assuming the "img" tag is disabled here to keep from potentially over-cluttering the forum, as it does not work, and is also omitted from the formatting options listed here.

wait a sec... nevermind

Rich,

you're right, embedded images can't be posted in forum topics. If you post an image using the 'image' content type, it goes into the image galleries. I fixed that problem listed in the other forum thread (was complaining about not being able to create the original image)

now to post images inline, you need to use HTML... and you need to have the permissions to do so. Ken, I've given you that permission to use the "Full HTML" input format. you'll see this menu appear just under the body box above the save button. Give it a try!

Now allowing this format to all is a security risk, so I may extend the default post input format to include only the IMG html tag, or create a less restrictive format to do this.

OK I added an image to the gallery, but now how do I embed it? Do I need to pull the location on the server from the View and embed that as, say ...
??

So, using the cell phone board connector you posted, you would click the link under the image labeled "Original." Next, right click the image when it appears to pick up the file's web address - in FireFox the right click generated pop out menu label is "Copy Image Location" and in Internet Explorer the label is "Copy Shortcut."

In the case of the image you posted, the address is

Obviously, a pattern is emerging here, the address of any image loaded that way would be

http://www.part15.us/files.p15/images/FILENAME.EXT

After you have copied or noodled the image addy, you simple wrap that addy in the image tag - <img src="addy">

You may also change the size of an image in pixels, the alignment and the horizontal and vertical spacing around an image in pixels

<img src="addy" Height="nn" Width="nn">

<img src="addy" align="left">

<img src="addy" hspace="nn" vspace="nn">

All of these can be combined to post an image half the size of the original, left aligned and with 10 pixels of horizontal space and 5 pixels of vertical space around the image, or whatever you want.

Have fun!
