macampbell Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Hi folksI can't seem to insert an image in my post. I browse to it alright, but if my image is on my desktop, name "ipaddress.gif" after I browse to it, what should I put in the drop down IMG box as the "complete URL for image."TIAmac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin L Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 you cant display a picture from you desktop online unless you have stored it on a webserver. the webserver will provide you a url, this url can be used between the img tags /http://www.imagehosting.us/ is a good site to upload your pictures for free good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamehead200 Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 yes MCT I was refering to posting in the forum with image on my desktop, where do I finnd a URL? I will also try .jpgmacYou NEED to have a WEBSERVER setup, such as Apache or IIS in order for this to work properly... Then you will need a domain name instead of using your IP address... Free ones are available from http://www.dyndns.org and http://www.no-ip.com .[ Moved. ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
