I have looked all over this site to try to find the answer to this.....If someone could point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.

How do I embed a full size picture in my posts? Every time I upload a picture, all it gives me is a small thumbnail that people can click to make larger. I thought maybe you had to be a premier member to embed photos; but, I have seen registered users post large pics in posts. Below is an example of what happens when I try to post a pic.



Like I said, any help (or a point in the right direction) would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

 

You are embedding the thumbnail rather then the actual image.




Right Click the image, you will get a menu like this, if you do this on the thumbnail you will get thumbnail size pic,you need to open the thumbnail by clicking on it, a thumbnail is usually used as a preview so that they don't need to post such a large picture at first.

First arrow - you can see the actual image at its original size then you can just copy the link and embed it into the post

Second Arrow- Copies the link of the image and you can just embed it in your post.

posting pics larger then 1024x768 is frowned upon

 

Your instructions make sense but I am having trouble getting the same thing that you do.

I go to "manage attachments" and browse my desktop for the picture I want. I upload the picture and close the manage attachments window. Then I drop the click the manage attachments icon again to drop the picture into my post where I want it.





Then I end up with something that looks like this where the picture would go.

When I preview the post, it has inserted the thumbnail. When I click on it in the preview, it opens the picture in a separate internet explorer window. When I right click on the image in the separate window, I only have the same options that I have if I was trying on a right clicking on a picture on any webpage (save picture as…., email picture, print picture, copy, etc.)

If I post the picture, and click on it, I get something similar to what you show (with the black background) but right clicking on the image brings up a totally different menu. See below. Plus, I find it hard to believe that I would need to post a picture than copy the location and post it again every time I want to embed a picture. I suspect I am doing something very wrong.

I guess my question is "How do I get to the screen that you show? Is my process of attaching a picture incorrect?"



Again, I appreciate the help.

 

You are doing it right, using the template.

But to embed full size you need to copy image location (url)
The paste it into the post using [img] [/img] tags

The [img]tags auto insert if you paste the url using the icon

Thanks so much guys!!!!!

Finally got it. Appreciate the help

^ It can be done, you just have to grab the HTML/BBCode under the more sharing options if available. Though I believe that not all flickr photos have this - depending on rights reserved/sharing settings of the specific photo/account.

 

^^^damn that looks good....I'll take two.

 

So basically all you have to is copy the HTML off of like photo bucket or something similar. Then paste it on your post and It will appear??
