Help With Posting Images

[jparker402]

Is there a guide here in the forums on posting that would include instructions on inserting and sizing images? Thought if I looked at YouTube tutorials on Pages that would work, but turns out the tool bar isn't the same in Pages as it is for MacRumors. Also remember that at least one other group I am a member of has a forum site for practicing posts. Just a thought. And thank you!

I'm not exactly sure what you are looking for.

- You can hit Attach Files and upload an image, or on desktop you can drag an image into the editor.
- Then, generally, you can insert a thumbnail or full size
- If you want an arbitrary size, there is a way to do it on desktop. You can resize it by dragging the corners. Alternatively, there's a control panel that pops up when you tap on an image. Those options let you set an arbitrary size in pixels.

One thing I've found is that generally when I post an image, it will post as the full size by default. I then tap on thumbnail, which produces the smaller size, and then I delete the larger one.

Aha! I was looking in the tool bar at Insert Image! Now that you point it out, I see Attach files, and that does (on the first try) seem to be easier. And then the "delete" I need to get rid of the large image appears! I was going to Insert Image, and ending up with more copies of an image than i wanted and of varying size. Maybe I can get it going now! Thank you!

And I see that I can "practice" a post by drafting it, previewing it, and deleting it! No need for a special section.
