Photos in the thread text
I have noticed that some people are able to place photos within the text of a thread. I would like to do that sometimes but do not know how. I go to Manage Attachments to add photos and my photos are shows as thumbnails below the text to be viewed separately.
I am about to start a long thread on the full restoration of my Canadian Ford Lynx II Mk.III, and I thought the inclusion of the photos within the text would be a better reading option. Thanks Rick.

The trouble with Fliker and Photobucket is if the account ends then the pictures disappear. If you do like you've been doing they'll be there as long as there's a MLU forum.

Photobucket is a free service and I have never heard of an acount ending unless it was closed by the member. There is a risk that Photobucket will censor and delete photos. e.g. I posted an image of a Nazi flag captured by an Australian Engineer serving in Europe during WWII (my housemate's grandfather). This was a genuine artifact but was deleted because it portrayed an image of hate. |

I agree with Hanno that we should avoid external image hosting where possible, because it's not wholly within our control, and as such represents a challenge to the integrity of this site. I'm thinking particularly of Hanno himself here, who has had to do a lot of work on older threads, which contain valuable information for us all. I think the enlarged thumbnails he has now introduced are a huge improvement, which for all practical purposes renders externally hosted images obsolete - even with my own failing eyesight!

This has been a question for me for a long time as well, see Message Editor Interface settings? Thankfully, Anthony came up with the answer:

Thanks Hanno,
Here's a test. Lynx restoration Begins 002.jpg Lynx restoration Begins 008.jpg Rick. Well that seems to work. The photo opened up in an additional window not like the usual way. Thanks Hanno, I'll start my new restoration thread soon. Regards Rick.

Awesome!! I've been trying to do this for ages! Many thanks Anthony and Hanno.
Pity we can only do thumbnails, but I agree we should avoid remote hosting for images. It's extremely frustrating when they disappear.

Let's see how this works out for visual satisfaction versus storage & bandwidth usage... Now for trying to find the feature to switch off external image linking H.
