Let's have a lesson in deleting a post. Any message that you post you can delete. You can also edit any message that you post. If you post a test picture then by all means feel free to delete your test picture as well. Take a look at the image below. You'll notice the Delete and the Edit buttons circled in red. You will only see those buttons on messages that you have posted.

Is it safe to assume this is no longer an option? Because I don't see that. Edit, yes; delete, no. Lord knows many times I wish I had - if you know what I mean!

I also have not yet figured out how to include an image in the body of a post. Nothing big, just smilies that the Café doesn't offer.I've tried a few times to no avail. I'm sure it's something simple, I just haven't tumbled onto it yet. Any help there would be much appreciated.

Hey JB,

If the picture resides on your PC, then you use the "Manage Attachments" button below where you write the text of your post. A file browse window will pop up, and you put the location of your photo on there and upload it.

If you want to post an image that is on the web, you can do it this way: go to the website where the desired image is. Right click on it and select "properties", and you will see the actual web address of the image. Copy that address, and hit the "Insert Image" button (looks like a little post card) above the text field.

Hope that helps,

Lee

Hi Lee

Thanks, but ... what I'm trying to do is include an image right in with the text of a message, rather than in the separate area for images. I've seen people do this but I haven't figured out how yet. This is a really small potatoes issue - basically, I just want to use smilies that aren't in our software, and it's self-defeating for them not to appear where I want them, mixed in with the text.

Pretty noodly, eh? I admit it.

JB,

If you use the "Insert Image" option, the image will be in your text, like this:



Then you can put more text after the image. If the image you want to use isn't on the web, I think it's pretty easy to get a free PhotoBucket (or similar) account. Sometimes I just post pix to my blog to do that.

Whee! Fun! Thanks!!!

Just sharing the wealth ... of knowledge, that is. It's free, so I can afford it ... ...

Dorothy, when inserting an image from photobucket just use this part of the URL for the image location.

Wow! Thanks so much for taking pity in me!! I was just now looking up how to delete those posts! It's embarrassing when I see how many times I tried. I came back in here and actually got startled when I saw my photo!! I have posted many photos on this site but always through my own files...not from a web site. I will ask 2 more questions:
1) How can I delete the posts I made here?
2) What is the size of the photo I can use?
Thanks for making me feel better!!

1) You can't. You could ask a moderator for a section to do it via PM.
2) From the web there isn't a limit b/c it doesn't actually use server space here. For attached from your PC files the limit is 390KB.

It is not working for me

Hi Rick,

Is your photo named DSC000562.jpg already accessible via the internet? (e.g., in a gallery at Flickr.com)

The "insert image" code is looking for the URL, so the photo must be accessible via the internet. For example, if you use this URL for someone else's DSC000562.jpg, http://www.hkdelight.com/antiques/dsc000562.jpg, you would see the following photo imbedded in your post:

Thanks so much, Jamie! I studied what you told me and posted my picture in the Stiver Social Group and it worked perfectly! What a relief and what a simple solution! Thank you again!
