dumb question about posting
« on: November 19, 2007, 11:00:29 am »

probably a really simple answer to this, but: how do you all add an image or text to your posts? I have no cut/paste functionality.
Thanks,
Randy

To add an image you need to have the image hosted somewhere online. Then you just wrap its url in img tags in your post.

Like this:

Code: [Select]
[img]http://www.server.domain/path/to/image.jpg[/img]
I don't really understand the part of your question where you mention adding text to posts.

This may sound odd, but I believe some people type text.

 :P


(goose2, you can also use MC12 for sending image files to JRiver's picture host. JimH's instructions are here: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=10029.msg280425#msg280425 and if you mean pasting text from the clipboard you can use "right-click > paste" or the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+V.)

Doof and Alex....I warned you it was a stupid question didn't I? The image part answers my question...and yes, although I have all my fingers and can type reasonably well, sometimes I want to paste something. For some reason, right clicking in a reply on this forum doesn't work for me. I'll try using keyboard shortcuts.
thanx

I guess you are using MC's internal browser. It doesn't provide all features that are available in browsers like I.E., Firefox and Opera. For example, it doesn't have a right-click menu. The Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V and Ctrl+X shortcuts seem to work though.
