Originally posted by Andrew_Oid I will, Goats, but I don't like to put people through the inconvenience of leaving the site and going to another. And I'll still look into making a donation without PP's interference. Thanks for that suggestion.
1) I use Google Photos to host my pictures. I open one of my pictures to normal viewing size there, right click on it, and then click "Copy image address."
2) Then I go to the tab where I have a thread open in Pentax Forums, and, in the Quick Reply or Reply to Thread area, and I click on the little mountain-with-sun icon above the main message text area.
3) A little window opens up that says "Please enter the URL of your image." I put my cursor in the box below those words, right-click, and click on "Paste." That puts the address of my message in the box.
4) I click okay and the address appears in the main message box between the correct [IMG] tags.
5) I type the text of my message and then click "Submit Reply."
6) My message posts in the thread
with my picture displayed in the message, NOT as link to elsewhere.
* * * (Note that I do not use the Google Photos sharing link, which would cause a link to be displayed in my PF message. I copy the address of the image when it is being displayed in Google Photos. Those addresses are lo-o-o-ong, but they work just fine in these forums.
