"How do you put a picture on SI?"


How do I put images in my posts? (Last Updated: 6/18/2006 10:30:25 AM)

First, the image file must exist on a remote internet server that allows "hot-linking" - meaning that the hosting site allows links to images versus their web page that contains the image. We do not host or store the actual images on SI.

Insert the image into your post as follows: . Do not include the "http://" part of the URL or it will not work properly. (This will be fixed later.) Also, make sure you use the URL of the image - it should end with .jpg or .gif, and not the URL of the page that contains the image which often ends with something else such as .htm, html, .asp, .php., etc.
Example: results in

Just like all other content, users are responsible for ensuring that graphics linked to or included in their posts are on-topic and conform to SI's Terms of Use. Please be considerate of other users, particularly on Investment Forum boards by limiting embedded images to relevant content as charts. The non-investment forum boards can be used for content that is not directly relevant to investment board mdiscussions. Finally, users hot-linking to graphics are also responsible for ensuring that they are not violating any copyrights or intellectual property rights.

At a later date we will be adding a user setting to enable users to suppress the automatic display of graphics embedded in posts

If you have a free account at Yahoo you can enter a picture into your profile and then link to it from here. After you do it once it will take you less than 2 minutes when you want to change it and post another one.
