Just trying it out.
Works easy.
Thanks for that!

If your photo is already on the internet, such as third party hosting site, or your Facebook page it's much easier and the photo will be much bigger. You basically paste the photo, that way the reader doesn't need to click on the photo to make it larger. I use my Facebook page since it's free and basically use it to store photos that I like or have on my computer.

Here's one I posted a month ago when we into discussing classic cars. I found it on the internet and I put on my FB page. Now that it's there and already on the internet, just right click your mouse on the photo and select 'copy image address'.

Then come TOTV and when you are replying to a post, at the top of the posting window are little icons, click on the one that looks like a post card with a mountain on the front. If will pop up, it will say 'paste URL here', right click and paste, hit enter. You now have that photo on the message, I would click preview to make sure it came up, then make any corrections, and then click 'submit reply' and it will look like this;

John, you are so helpful. You and Tinker are the best.

I found the easiest way is to go to your profile, create an "Album" on TOTV and upload any photos you want to post there. Then you just open the photo in the album, copy the "BB Code" and paste the [IMG] code into your article.

Thanks for the time to shed some light on this.

You are assuming, however, that everyone has FB access.

You and 3 billion others probably make the same assumption. Ill leave it at that!

I never used FB to upload my picture.
Just righ clicked on picture.
Clicked Save Image Location, and posted the URL.
Works for me.
