    Holy crap... I can't believe I didn't see this before. In Fchat, we can use the standard vB syntax to place images "inline" with out postings.

    So here is image #1, a picture I took while skiing Les Contamines in Switzerland sometime in the mid 1990's.

    .

    and here is attachment #2, a cruise to Alaska that Mrs. JRR and I took in 2002:

    Now, think how useful that will be for the "how to" threads? Damn... 4 years and I never saw this.



    Bet-ya didn't know this worked? Eh?

    Hit the "QUOTE" button on my above post, and check out the syntax for "ATTACH". Once you upload your images, just roll-over the URL of the attachment to get the attachment ID. See bottom of this page: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/misc.php?do=bbcode#attach.

    Now, for grins and giggles, let's try a MS Word document, then a picture.
    Here's the MS WORD doc: Image Unavailable, Please Login

    I remember tinkering with this a while back, and I remember that I had a similar "Eureka!" moment.

    But seeing as how most of the pictures I post are of the thread-bomb variety, and having little actual value and speaking for themselves without captions, I had long forgotten how to do it.

    Robbie - Roll the mouse over the attached filename and read the "attachment ID" from the link that it shows. THEN, in your actual post use the text where the "nnnnnn" is your attachment ID.

    This is what I am seeing now.

    Seems that the normal method is 'safer', in that one knows others can see the image rather than just a filename.
