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:

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.

The embedded graphic feature is still in development. Users editing messages that contained an embedded graphic may need to re-enter it during the editing process - easier said than done. (At the moment, it is best to not edit or preview new posts with embedded images because it most likely will not post correctly.

Edit: As you can see you need a site where the image is posted and allows you to access it through this embedding process. Do you have another site where the picture is rather than Snopes? I see Oral has found another site.

I think that there is a support thread on SI where one can practice these things and get assistance and tips and so on.
