G'Day,

And now I have discovered a way to include the images in your actual post - as opposed to attaching them to the post.

Including the image of the error saves time for everybody - anyone reading the post can see the image immediately, rather than having to download an attachment.

Putting images in a post, requires that your PC, must have access to the image when you, or others, look at your post to the forum. If you create a post with an image of an error in it, the "link" to the image must be to somewhere where the image is available to members - somewhere on the forum.

Just such a place is available - your Album area. It's a place on the forum where you can upload images for other members to look at.

So the process is ...

Discover something in Logic you want to share - a picture tells a thousand words.

Use the tools in the first item in this topic to "take a snapshot" - the smallest area that conveys what you want to show. Save the image or images in PNG format on your PC.

The login to the Forum and go to your "My Albums". Add a new album, give it a name, or open an existing album, and upload your snapshots. Once the images are uploaded, click "Back", and the images in the album are displayed as thumbnails.

To use an image directly in your post, you need to copy the HTML link to the image and insert the link into your post. You can copy the link, from your Album, by "Right click" on an image, and "left click" on "Copy shortcut" - in IE, "Copy link address" - in Chrome, "Copy link location" - in Firefox.

If you have not done this sort of thing before, here are some pointers to help.

You really need TWO places at the forum open at the same time, one making your post, and the other looking at your album of snapshots. You can do this in all modern browsers by Tabs.

Open the browser and log into the Logic forum. Now that the forum is open, in your browser, point your mouse at the TAB for the page, right click and click on "Duplicate". Another TAB should open on the identical page in the Logic forum. To move between the TABs, click on the TAB.

Move to the TAB with the snapshot, right click and copy the link.

Move to the TAB in which you are "posting" a topic, or a reply to a topic, click the "Image button" to insert an image, this one ...



... the "landscape with the rising sun". Paste the link to the image in your album into the dialogue box, and click OK. Enter a short description. Click OK.

That is it. Now complete your post, adding more images as necessary.
