I have a photo in the photo section that I want to put in the body of a post. When I follow the directions -- click on Properties and cut and past the url -- I get the url in the post but not the photo. When you click on the url, you get a tiny thumbnail photo that you cannot enlarge and is too small to really see well.

How do you get the photo into the post?

Hi Judy,

First, to get the photo to appear in the post, the URL must have an image prefix and suffix (without the asterisks) as shown here: [*IMG]www.your-picture-url.com[*/IMG]

If you look at the tool bar in the "Post a Reply" block, you will see a little image box that appears second from the right which provides a place to paste your picture URL and automatically adds the "IMG" codes for you.

Second, the photo gallery default picture size is "thumbnail". You can see the "normal" picture size by clicking on the "thumbnail" picture. Then right click on the larger or "normal" picture and copy that URL to use in your posts.

Let me know if you run into any snags.
